[jprastrullo]

holy... nice work so far! sub'd

[sam_]

awesome. sub'd

[kamotors]

car looks awesome, and i've said this before so dont take this the wrong way....but now that you've gone all out it seems more important.

You cant have this.


and not run an authentic Alpina rear spoiler

its the aggressive angle that really sets it a part.

[AlpinaB3]

Sorry K, but i said is a tribute, not a Clone, also a lot of real alpina cars have lost front spoilers or rear spoilers but still has the id plate. The alpina rear spoiler maybe is on the future list, cant do everything at the same time right?

Nice! I'm surprised you found that many alpina parts. Nice build, keep it up.

[goarmy]

Looks brand new, I wouldn't change anything cosmetically

m20's could use some head work and take advantage of the 272

I have the car for around 12 years, so alpina parts have come pretty slow.

[freeride53]

Car looks fantastic. Is it still AWD?

Not sir, it got a rwd g260 with a custom crossmember, front diff removed and stored, i bought 2 damaged front axles and use the ends only to keep everything attached, drive shaft is from a normal manual rwd e30. Not a single issue in years of conversion.

Teasing of my alpina steering wheel full restoration. Better pics soon.

[e30m3s54turbo]

What year is the Alpina four spoke steering wheel? Mine is a 1987.
I bought it a few years ago from s14 forums. That was a mistake. The steering wheel in the pics okay. Not so. I decided I would buy a new one from Mel brand new.
I do have a never used Alpina 3 spoke steering wheel. I was lucky for buying it on ebay.

I would like how the restoration comes out?

[AlpinaB3]

I bought mine in Lebanon like a year ago, leather was in about 4/10, but it just need a reupholstering work to get back in shape, center piece was perfect and so everything else. The steering wheel was just finished and is in the way, as soon as i received it i can show you the outcome.
