Brian's 1988 Bmw 535I E28

[fpsthomas]

Could be worse, right?

[Brian.]

So, got a chance to jack the E28 up, take a sneak peak of what was going on under neath it. Found out my wheel bearing is destroyed. With the car jacked up. I spun the right rear wheel, and it sounded like there was sand inside it. So, I have to get that replaced sometime soon. And probably my dogbone links. because those look bad too. AWESOME!

[Brian.]

Hey man, sick car. But you should either put your bumper back on or take off the lip.

I don't have a lip? Nor do I have a bumper. I sold that ugly shit months ago.

I have an Air dam.. So? Sup.

Not sure. Something driveline/suspension related in the rear.

You realize you'd need to strip your car to bare metal, get that primer off, and reprime your car, because primer holds water like a motherfucker...

I hardly drove this with the fender like that.. haha

That sucks about the broken shit.

Yeah I know it does, every time it rains my car is dry 5 minutes later hahaha!

I guess just the residue and snow must have rusted it.

[Brian.]

GAY! What's broke? Btw, you said paint booth!? My car is primered...

So, I've mentioned before, my rust fender. Well,I came home from some military fun training, and guess what my surprise was whenI looked at my car today?

[Brian.]

This thing is currently broken in my driveway. How weird, 2' of snow will break something on a car that has 2" of ground clearance.

[Brian.]

Yeah, I have a shop up state. Also a full car paint booth with climate control.

we should cruise sometime! Idk when though. I have drill this weekend.

[brsteinbach]

Shop? I don't go on FB much so if you wanna cruise PM on here or FB eventually I'll get back to ya. I wanna see the fender in person.

[Brian.]

No, no single fucks he?

[Brian.]

Heres a close up view of my fender, figured I could snap a few since I was clearing my car off of snow.

This is about 4 days of being bare metal. Rusting pretty fast IMO!



I then went for a cruise, decided why not plow the streets some more? Heres my bumper just packed with snow. It kept coming over the hood.

[Brian.]

Bit of an update. Went back home to work on an E46 M3, that ended up not happening. It was so cold my shop heater wouldn't work. -20* for the fucking loss.

Oh well, got to visit my dog. He's a sweetheart:



Our shop is a fucking disaster due to the the cold weather, shit's just been set in there, and not organized.

So, my previous post said I wire wheeled my entire drivers side fender due to one of societies elderly personal backing into me.

Here's how that turned out. Has a nice design on it due to road salt/slush splashing on to it

(new fenders on order in spring, don't worry!)


Just chillin in the snow. Love how she looks laid out. I wanna go lower though.


just down the road from my shop I snagged this cool photo with my phone. Too bad it wasn't with a real camera.




That's it for now.
