    Restoring Alpina front Valance on my early model 87 325is

    Aloha friends,

    Hope ya'll staying safe during these times. Since I have had more time at home I decided to put some work on my Alpina valance that got chewed up ridin' low in the streets of San diego, here is a pic of it on my car. It was wrapped in Black gloss vinyl. I have some progress pic of the build under member rides in the project section if y'all want to check it out.

      I had to build up the areas that were worn down by adding fiberglass and fiberglass reinforced filler, to build strength I recommend doing it in layers. After that was done I hit it with some primer. I will be posting a how to when I am done with the final coat on my youtube channel, I will keep you posted. If you have any questions feel free to reply I will try to answer all questions. You can also follow me on Instagram @robintabana and @midd.air. I will follow you back!

Took some time to shadow out the front turn signals, and repolish the chrome, been posting up to date pics on my instagram @midd.air profile, shoot me a follow and I’ll follow back my fellow e30 enthusiast ✊🏼
