It looks like it has the proper Alpina boot spoiler which is similar to a tech 1 but bigger. The rear bumper is incorrect, it's a tech 2 one. Needs to be served to a victim and replaced with the correct rear bumper.
Lets hope the lower rear panel and boot wells underneath the tech 2 rear bumper are still present and correct !

boot wells dont seem too bad mate,had the battery out as had to replace it,boot floor is spotless,arches a bit ropey but think its more due to they have been rolled because of the rideheight and cracked the paint,took carpets out today along with the dash,theres a bit of a hole under the bonnet hinge drivers side but no problem to plate neatly,maybe just a bit in the drivers footwell,scuttle needs replaced but apart from that its mainly panels,car seems pretty much structuraly soundpacerpete wrote:It looks like it has the proper Alpina boot spoiler which is similar to a tech 1 but bigger.

The front spoile is also incorect. The one fitted to the car is a tech2 front valence/spoiler and not the correct face lift front spoiler.

Has it got a sunroof?
before you go too mad with it, get the headlining out and have a very close look around the sunroof tray and look in it for rust. It's a nast spot and seems to be a hidden killer that people are unaware of. Roof skins are NLA so a very important place to check imo
Looks nice matches my black 2 door resto!

yep leccy sunroof,completely stripping it before i start any repairs mate,has been in a carport for 3 -4 years so was pretty dry when i picked it up in the pissing rainSimon13 wrote:Has it got a sunroof?

right after a fair bit of stripping and thinking have decided just to reshell this car,found a good few holes which are not too much of a poroblem,its just that the shell is very tired and is one of those that is just at the stage that it is going to need constant welding as all the seams are puffy and cant really be arsed as want to keep the car, so want to start with something fresh and solid,have sourced a reasonably mint 4 door shell so going to swap everything over asap,will get some pics up when i pick her up next week hopefully
aye rick got the shell,have swapped over the loom,fitted engine and box this weekend,outside freezing,have cleaned and painted all the rear suspension,gettin some new bushes from bmw this week just going to potter about with it now,got a few brackets to take off the alpina shell then its going to scrappys this week i hope,got 2 broken studs on exhaust manifold as well, deepest joy,hows the hand then rik did it leave a scar,just glad to know you didnt bleed to death last time you left mineriklusby wrote:Hey pete hows the project coming on, did you get the shell you spoke about ??????
,still bloodstains on the pina yet Ha ha, no scar mate, cant even remember where it was, had a potter about with mine today as i got held up at work by the plasterer, fixed a couple of smaller issues gave the old girl a good wash and started cleaning the carpet, work is a bit thin on the ground at the mo so havnt got much spare cash for parts and i wanted to have her back on the road for april
the alpina is now officially scrapped,chopped into 5 bits,sad day ,not the end but a new beginning though lol,starting a new job this week so now it will be money and no time instead of vice versa,got the loom pretty much sorted now,engine and box are in the auto shell,most of the interior is swapped,next big job is the rear suspension and all the new bushes fitting that i have waiting to go on,bmw dealer seems pretty reasonable thank god,not what i expected at all,got free reign with the styling now though as its no longer a genuine alpina,so looks like a bit of subtle smoothing and a non bmw colour then,some light mods(not lexus i'm not that council lol)tinted windees (windows),going to put the alpina badges and side graphics back on though so it doesnt lose all its flava
need to get some progress pics up but a bit lazy or disorganised on that front though,hoping to have her on the road in the not too distant future, funds allowing cheers guys
