Slow White, the E28

Those are euro bumpers. They just don't have the covers on them and they're painted black.

I love this man! Pfeba lip and black kidneys, you really know how to bring the motherfucking ruckus!
Any plans for euro bumpers?

Your e28 looks very nice.

Time for a happy update!

I finally fixed all of my vacuum leaks!
It''s a long story that pissed me off but eventually got better.

So I went to the dealer, picked up my new intake boot, vacuum line, and motor mount.


Then proceeded to swap the new boot in. Here's the nast old one. It had cracks everywhere.


Then while I was messing around examining all my vacuum line I found this. The fuel pressure regulator ran to well, no where. You can see my new intake boot hooked up


Then I looked under the manifold to try and find where it hooked up and found this laying on the block.


So being relatively new to E28s I didn't know that all of these lines hooked up underneath the manifold. I finally found all the plugs on the bottom and realized the interior air sensor was also unplugged. So about 15 minutes later all of it was plugged in with brand new vacuum line and what do you know! The car runs like a champ.

Today was the first day I really got to experience what an M30 can do. My car is so much faster and the power band is well, actually a power band. It's so much more fun to drive.

I can't wait to get home and tackle the motor mount and lower control arms.

Lol those welds look like herpes. It's okay though, flux welders suck. You'll get the hang of it eventually.

You look like herpes

Yeah I know they suck. It's a mig I just used flux core wire. I'm doing mig next time.

@jrcanes55: Two were baby blue, as a test...now grey again.

Knew it. Haha

alex, you also forgot to mention that those welds are flux core, which sucks and is probably half of the reason that they are so messy

Yeah good point. Probably should have mentioned it. Next time I weld anything I'm going to use gas.

I finally spent that gift card. Got a new intake boot, all new vacuum line, a new trunk badge, andddddd....... A new motor mount. Lol $35 after my employee discount. Lol saved so much moneys! I'll hopefully be getting all of it tomorrow. That'll give me some stuff to do over my break.

Grab a whole bunch of scrap metal, as much as you can get your hands on and practice, practice, practice.

Car looks great and I love the wheels

I will be doing that. Trust me. It's so much fun.

I have the same exact wheels (19's and for sale) on my e24 but it doesnt quite pull it off like your e28, nice whip bro!

Are they baby blue? and thanks.

those welds doe. yikes

nice e28

Yeah they suck. But they work so i'm happy.

Damn, sick looking E28, White with the satin grills looks dope, even looks cool with the bottlecaps. Want my satin black E34 bottlecaps? :P

Good to see some more local 5ers, that plate is awesome. Will you be in Raleigh/Chapel Thrill in the next month?

Any details on that roof rack?? I really want to fashion a surfboard rack for my 9' single fin, and all I need is 2 cross bars that I can wrap some foam around. Let me know if you get tired of it! :P

I would love your satin bottle caps. If they're free

And yeah i'll be back for winter break soon. If you want to meet up somewhere.

The rack is made from red oak I got at home depot. It took me a whole day of work total to get it together but it's not that hard. I used a drill press to make sure everything was exact. Buy all the wood and hardware and i'll do it for you.
