    Thanks guys, and yes it does seem to be a great time to do euro bumpers. I suppose that takes a front valance change as well, and about a G for the bumpers. I really need to curb my spending on this project. For right now I'm going to be going the stock route unless anyone is feeling super generous( Boby where are you?). I'll be keeping my eye out for any deals that pass thru r3v and mye28.com
    You can cut your N. American valance to accept the Euro turns and foglights. Check out that http://speed.academy/bmw-e28-euro-bu...ersion-part-1/. With your shop you can do it even better than pstl-pete did. The big bumpers do serve a purpose though.

      I removed the rear panel tonight. It took about three hours. I took some pics but for some reason I can't get them from photobucket to here. I think it's got something to do with adobe flash player not being current. Maybe I can get my wife to fix it tomorrow.

          Panel out
          I still have some work to do around the edges and I'm noticing that the corners are brazed in with brass.
          And some more work to do in the spare tire well.

            Nice pickup and looks like you're already digging in! Good luck on the body work.

              I got a chance to work on the car this weekend. I managed to get the engine out of the volvo in about six hours, so I turned my attention to the fiver.
              I still have quite a bit of work to do, including some more removal. I don;t like the look if the left side structural piece above the subframe rail. It has a line of rust along where it seems to the floor. The sides still need a little trim work and massaging. And the lower portion of the panel in the corners will need some metal removed and then some new stuff added. I'll be picking up some metal from a local supply house this week and then trying my luck at hand forming some stuff. I have a small brake for the structural pieces on the inside of the panel. They don't come with the new panel and BMW wants $300 a piece for them. They are nothing more than some sheet metal bent into a channel and flanged to provide a spot to weld them in.

                  Nope, been working on a volvo tranny swap. That's finished now so we should see some progress in the following weeks.

                          Psshhh you don't know what your talking about. A well sorted e28 with some euro bumps and a clean interior. Would be my ideal and perfect daily.

                              great build!
                              In Marburg kann man sehr gut wohnen.
                              Die Umgebung ist schön mit vielen Wäldern.

                                Thanks but not quite yet, but my e30 has a build thread in readers rides section that I'm pretty proud of. Nothing extravagant but it's a reliable daily! It's labeled "my delphin."
