  • My E28 slam pig.

    My name's Brian, go figure! I picked up this car almost a year ago from a friend I traded my winter car for it. He wanted to get a different project car. So I decided I'd take the chance to pick one up, that's as clean as this one.

    Previous car: 2000 Ford Crown Vic. P71. Thing was a tank. Never had issues. Was fun to drift around with in the snow. And would tow my S13 on a trailer like a champ.

    This is what the Slam pig looked like when I picked it up:

    Nothing done to it, except an exhaust and those ugly Voxx MG rims.

    Drove to Wisconsin Dells for Automotion. Which was an awesome weekend full of slammed rides, and old muscle cars/hot rods/ratrods.

    And upon meeting up with the WIBIMMERS members, my radiator neck decided to self-destruct.

    So I ordered a new one, little bigger, little thicker.

    Up until about 2 months ago, I didn't really do anything to the car.

    Then I got to it. Brought it up state to my shop, got the front lower. (didn't have time for the rears):

    It doesn't look low in that picture, solely because someone previously painted 3/4 the front valance black. No idea why.

    I've always liked the look of fat five spoke rims. I'm a huge fan of the Fifteen52 Tarmacs. But couldn't justify the price tag. So I ended up picking these rims up off a buddy of mine's little brother. he had them on his 633CSI that wasn't going anywhere soon.

    Theres no markings that tell us what kind of rims they are. The closest thing they look like is OZ Fittipaldi 3 pieces. But they don't say "Fittipaldi" on any of the spokes. Any takers?

    I love the look of them. They need to be cleaned really bad. But I've got that in the works.

    Heres a random photo of me broken down at a gas station. (shifter linkage broke! WTF?)

    Here's how it currently sits:

    Even my lady is into them. We're in the process of getting her into a classic BMW as well.

            I know what you mean, I had to rock them on my current wheels till I could afford something smaller. It's a good look when bagged though.
