I've been lurking for a while...so, my e28

I've been looking through the forum for a while, and I finally decided I might as well throw my car on. So anyways, it's a 1986 535i. I've had her for a few months now, and I think its love. Its my daily, and could use more flush and whatnots, and in time i'm sure she'll have it, so I decided to make a build thread thing...more like a "picture of my car's slow evolution" thread

The day after I got the car

Had more ground clearance than that of a hummer, so three days after I got it, I broke out the grinder

While I was getting at those springs the diving boards got put on a diet too.

we drove around like that for a while, fixing little things that needed fixing here and there, baselining and whatnot.

One of my truck for fun

The leather was, well 25 years old, so I got the interior re dyed all nice and black

I had been looking around for some wheels, I googled but I couldn't find out how to plant a money tree, so I was looking on a budget. I came across a set of BBS style 19's and thought they would fit pretty well so I picked them up

The clear was failing on the wheels, and it wasn't very flattering, so I decided I would refinish them a little

Drove around for about a month or so, and decided I would try going bumperless for a minute

I got the fenders rolled and flared a little bit in the back for the future, put the bumper back on, and found a roof rack.

It was starting to ride pretty bad and sag a little funny on the cut springs, so I found some nex coilovers that are actually distributed about an hour and a half from my house, they surprisingly work very well. I'm quite pleased with them.

As a christmas gift, I was given some spacers, a set of 20mm and 15mm putting my wheel situation at 17x8 et0 in the rear and 17x8 et5 in the front. Along with that I got a factory skidplate...that pretty much sits on the ground.
