That engine bay... My god its beautiful.

Rears are done. This is without the weight of the car on the suspension. I figure that I will be tucking wheel once the car is off the jack stands.

e24 and e21, something's going on

I'm starting to like this, I'll definitely follow up on this thread.

Please do!

You should be fine with the 16x10s. Just run a 205 with a 45 series, or even a 50 if you're an old man.


Super jealous of that e21 as well.

Well, I am kinda old. 35. I was thinking of 205/50 to help fill up some gap I might have with running the 16s. The style 32's will be ran this weekend for the e30 Oktoberfest. I have been following your thread and like what you have done with your e28. My first car that I talked about above was the same color code.

So here is an update on what we got done yesterday. Got the car in the air, awesome wheels off, and rear suspension out. Planned on installing the rear coils but ran into a snag with the top nut on the oem shocks being fine thread and the billys not. Picked up the appropriate nuts this morning on my way to the office so we should have the rears done today. I will get some mock up pics for you guys. Also cleaned up the wheel wells while we were in there. We planned on painting them black but this is what it looked like after some degreaser and pressure washer.




I think we will leave them as is...
Got the wiring harness hooked up and the motor plumbed and did a little cleaning there as well...


Tonight we should have the rears done, gonna drop the tank and clean the fuel lines and hopefully have her fired up!!

haha, me too, it's a great feeling when you can make your dream come true. nice cars man.thanks for your sharing

nice start! the only issue you may find with the 16's is how low you will have to go to achieve the correct look. i wish i could be lower on a smaller tire in my e28, but the roads up here in NY combined with it being my daily don't really allow it for now.

I'd love to see those 16x10's though i think they could look sick!

That is what I am afraid of as well. I figured worst case I will run the style 32's till I come across the right setup, would really like to get 18's or 19's even. Never hurts to have a set of two piece mesh wheels laying around for a BMW guy.

it's a great feeling when you can make your dream come true.
nice cars man.

Les than 50k on an e21... Nice.

Yep. Couldn't belive it myself.

Got any pictures of the interior? E24s rule!

I will post some tomorrow it is near dead mint as it can be minus a head unit and a couple minor cracks in the dash.
