A Sherman Schwartz story. (e28 content)

I can tell you, I've seen Sherman more times than I can count and this is one impressive ride.

Keep up the good work Budski, can't wait to see Sherman out for the upcoming Low Junk Bash!

thank man, I hope to get it back together by then but things keep coming up. For now I want it back on the road with exhaust on it.

Looks very nice and classy. I love your way of rebuilding things, instead of just replacing them. Only thing I kinda don't feel, is that e34 bumper in the back... It just doesn't fit the overall look of the car. That and some nice wheels would make it perfect in my opinion.

so finally got my brackets in and started making progress. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the quality of the "machined to fit" brackets. Ended up having to take a file to open enough to make it work, next time I'm just going to find a machine shop locally to do it.



next was opening up the stock holes



good fit.



and welded



and in no time it was back together, I held off on replacing the axles for now because I'm itching to get the car back on the ground.



still a ways to go, seems like every time I look at the car there is something else worn out or broken. Gets old, but soon as the car is solid I should finally be putting on bags and the gotti's. At the same time I just enjoy driving the car which is why I'm putting back together till I can stockpile parts again.

so tonight beers where had, brakes were bled, and sherman once again left a smokey burnout down the street. I have to say that even though I still have a lot of work to do I'm glad to be back in the seat again. If the rain holds off I plan on bleeding the brakes again because it seems I have an air in the lines still and if I can put it on the alignment rack at work. I will add that I forgot how loud this car is, I feel exhaust will be going on soon.

no photos, but spend last night chasing down the driveablitly issues while i work on getting things together for exhaust. So far its narrowed downed to lack of exhaust (or o2 fouled), fuel pressure regulator, or timing is off a tooth. I have to take the timing cover off anyways to fix a gasket leak so while its off. If weather plays in my favor I should have the car up at work to re-bleed the brakes and align the rear since the toe adjustments are on.

since I have no photos, heres a video of my buddies rocco.
