I dig it.

so today was nothing major, I've been trying to hold off on doing brakes still I could do the pedal box, hydroboost delete and ABS delete. Needless to say Sherman had other plans as I was starting to grind.

getting the pads off they were more than gone.



compared to the new one.



the rotors got a bit eaten out of them, but they are also warped. I will end up doing new pads, rotors, brake likes, and brake sensors at a later date. This time it was just a pad slap job.



after that I decied to get rid of the rake on the car, cut another 2 coils out of the rear.



perfection!

so a little update as i dive into more work on the car tomorrow.

first was HID's got put on the car, dig it a lot but still need to aim them


then me air filter got stolen off the car, lucky for me I had a spare one laying around to hold me over till i get another new one

our shop detailer decided to take care of the oxidation and hard water stains on the deck, looks so good that I'm sure I'll have to do the rest of the car.



repainted the grill satin black and added a grill badge, I have a germany one that I still need to add.



and with most of the chrome being oxidized and not being a huge fan I started to refinish it for a more brushed look.



tomorrow will be a busy day on the car and hope to have some more updates.

nothing too impressive today,

got the stereo working again and decided to throw in a fire extinguisher just in case.



then pulled the front end off to paint the lip and start patching the facia/air dam



was lucky to have an extra laying around so i just marked out what i wanted.



and after a bit of trimming ...



i got it welded all in, but I'll save you from those photos since the welder what a POS that wouldn't feed right. After a quick grind down I slapped some bondo on it that is drying over night. Hope to have it painted and back on tomorrow night so I can move on to other things.

Seriously, edging on the verge of E28 perfection.

[Hugger]

Love classy old cars such as your E28. Very intrigued with your build and I'll definitely be keeping up with it! Good looking car and has come such a long way.

is the paint og? for 400k it looks fantastic.

far as i can tell it is, there are a number of flaws but nothing to justify a respray...yet

few things the night before a show last weeked,

first was finding something to do with that left over gold tape...



was 50/50 on it, but after seeing it in the sunlight it looked amazing.

also got the bumper plugs finished, ran into issues with blocking the bondo since it was in pretty mangled shape. Yet it did turn out good enough for now till i hunt down an IS facia.



and a few snaps from the show...







also digging around the old merc in the junkyard at work i scored this "maemo" wood steering wheel.



the "maemo" logo is just like the "momo" logo so I'm trying to search to see if its vintage or not at least a vintage knock off.
