My euro 320i/B6 3.5 Alpina Tribute ( Now with turbo power)

My euro 320i/B6 3.5 Turbo Alpina Tribute Now in assembly

Car is home but not without much pain and agony. Me and painter were trying to get sunroof in and the bottom edge of sunroof caught the roof and took a nice 1 inch gouge out of the sun roof so it needs a repaint no way around it. I also found out the cloth lining for sunroof and metal frame on mine are destroyed so I need to find a new one thats not broke. And then to too things off when loading it on the trailer i some how managed to rip a giant hole in my fuel tank with out touching the rest of the car. I drained a half tank of gas faster then pump I've seen haha. So tomorrow i will be getting a new tank put on order and then I will finish assembly. I told painter I'm gonna get it running driving and licensed with the botched paint on the roof then I'm gonna take him the keys to the shop and car and tell him to fix it when he can cause I'm done trailering it now... And the shop is only 5 min from his house versus keeping it at my house which is 30 min from his house. Needless to say the car is wearing my patience thin. Very very thin...


Ill add pics tomorrow. Im gonna go drink heavily...

Good things happening in here. Those meaty tyres on the turbos. Also really like how the paint changes in different lighting. Looks anywhere from gun metal, all the way through to a dark bronze/brown. Might even have a bit of a green hue to it in some of those pictures.

It will all be worth it when you are done, man. I had to leave the house early today, but I will swing by in a bit and check on the condition of my spare tank for you.

Is this done yet?

Seems like you've been taking lessons from Slammin.

^^ thanks for kind words. One day you will.

Today I set out to fix the battery box corner.



Corner made

And corner installed and welded out.



As you can see some trimming was needed but i got fitment A'OK. Then i focus on putting por-15 down for a final time on the inside and what not. Tomorrow I will seam seal.

Then I set out to clean the over spray off windows with super fine steel wool and then I put my rain gutters on or atleast the driver side. Passenger side wont seat for some reason. After I put gutter on I mocked up the 1/4 window.




Then that leaves me were I'm at right now. Thats rebuilding my locks. Such a pain in the ass I cant get my roll pins out of the tumbler so I can copy the gates into the new tumbler :hitler:
