[leeparkes]

This is starting to look like your E30's big brother

Keep going it looks cracking

[spook]

Big Brother There will be no let up on this turd.

And thanks to staley_turbo for sending down the Arches

[staley_turbo]

No probs, hope there ok!

[spook]

Finally got the turd out the garage for some more faffing, put the wheels on and got the bumpers off ready for some Tupperware,












Hope to get the turd lowered and some of the kit on this weekend

Thanks for taking some interest in my project

Looking nice Chris.
Which one you coming to POD in

[spook]

The E30 mate But depending how things turn out i may bring the E28.

[oguz327]

Awesome Chris, starting to take shape nicely now.

The E30 mate But depending how things turn out i may bring the E28.

Both sweet spook but would love to see the E28 in the metal.

[spook]

Its far from mint, but its nice and solid, i think ive got a nice car from that nice man Peter

[oguz327]

Solid is the main thing Chris, Ive always thought it would be nice having a totaly mint car but then your prob not gonna use the damn thing hardly at all for fear of damaging it

[spook]

Got some more done today, changed the rear springs, however they didnt take the car down any lower, so i then cut a coil off and i will look tomorrow to see how its settled,

I reckon i will be putting the original springs back on[Mtec], the front needs to come down a long way yet.

Put some Tupperware on the rear.

[Splondike]

It's looking good Chris, solid is the key with these things. Mine is a solid one too, a good number of them are hanging. It was key for me to find a decent shell, like yours mine has a few bumps and scrapes and Ray Charles paintwork but it is solid where it counts. I got it up in the air and had a thorough poke around before spending any money it. When funds allow it will get a nice doors off glass out respray, hopefully next year.

[spook]

I will catch up with you at the pod Mark if your going, along with the other 5 deviants.

[spook]

Took the front bumper and valance off today ready to take the Mtec kit, nice and solid it is, i will treat the tiny bits of rust and repaint
.

[suchy]

Get an Alpina front on that and a bit of a drop- go on you know you need it in your life

[E30BeemerLad]

That's in good fettle dude

[Rodderz]

Nice, I prefer the E28 without the kit.

Just needs some white stripes on the seats though!

[spook]

Those Alpina spoilers go for strong money, and so does the M5 spoiler i took off, as for a drop ive been given contact details of a firm in Chichester who can make me some Hartge rated springs.

Im gonna see what the Mtec spoller looks like on first, i can see this turd turning into a bit of a cream puff.

I dont think so Rod

[e30topless]

I have got some from these guys, a guy from TBMW recommended them, I have to fit them yet though

coming along nicely Chris, they drive so much better than E30's don't they ?

a good move is E39 540i brakes, the E28 stoppers are pants !

[spook]

TBh Steve ive not used it since i got it from Peter, i will get it taxed once ive finished faffing with it in a couple of weeks, i will take it off the road for the winter and work on it when its baltic.

[Jhonno]

e34 540i brakes Shirley?

[Splondike]

I think that's what he meant, E34 ones are bolt on...

It's coming along then Chris I have the Hartge rated springs from Faulkners on mine and they work fine for me.

Exactly, move on the M5 and the one in the kit- actually sell on the entire kit and the M5 front- and purchase a lovely Alpina one. It's the right choice, you know this deep down...

[spook]

Mr Suchy stop twisting my arm, you have sown a little seed in the back of my head now you coont

[suchy]

Don't forget you'll have to move the Hartges on also to make way for some suitable rims to go with the Alpina front you'll end up getting

[spook]

Not to sure about the Hartges anyway

To me that says "ahh f*ck it, Alpina FTW"

[spook]

Thats a copy Rav, someone here is knocking em out cheaper

[beardymat]

I have to agree, I was thinking i wanted an M535 but i think i prefer the chromie look with an alpina chin, coupled with the right wheels they dont need anything else. Im going to have to get on with buying one.

[spook]

Go for it Matt

[Rav335uk]

Pristine Bodyworks, know of him, he does E21 lightweight stuff too.
His stuff is well recommended

[leeparkes]

There's a guy round my way with one of these E28's (same colour) and he's running a set of style 32's,
the dished ones like this, you can get them in 17" and 18" flavour.

Worth a thought









Is this staying a 2.8?
