Project 'vert.....

[slammin.e28]

Thus far, as far as repairing the body, I have acquired a radiator support and right fender. The left fender suffered no damage. Just waiting to source a, hopefully, green front bumper cover, air dam, and hood. The paint is pretty fresh, so it shouldn't be hard to match though.


The only thing to get it running was a new intake boot, as the old one was "held together" with electrical tape. After that, it fired right up. It's a blast to drive, as I live on a private road and can test out my cars without worry.

For now, I'm waiting on funds to become available to have the new front welded in and painted. Then to source a bumper, cover, airdam, and hood. New grilles and headlights are waiting in the trunk as well.

It probably won't be done by the end of summer, but definitely by next spring. I'll keep my questions and updates to this thread, so as to not clutter the board.

Thanks for looking!

Hey! As you can probably tell, I'm more of an e28 guy than e30. My first car being a 1985 535i. My dad, after driving the e28, bought a 1990 325i convertible. We also have a 1984 325e to i 2.7 project that is ongoing, but that's another story.

My newest project is a 1992 318i convertible. Picked it up for $500 with a smashed front end.



On the bright side.....the interior is PERFECT! 95000 miles, 5 speed. Other than the front, the body is perfect.
