a little picture update,







Going to give it a little front camber, and e90 spring dishes in the front and then max out the offset with a spacer.

still not sure how im going to make the rear fenders.

[fpsthomas]

it happend somehow like this.



working towards myself.. rule nr, 1 dont work towards yourself :P

looked like this



messed up crack from left to right. had a little steel bar behind the teeth after braces, that is what held the tooth in place...



super messed up..


So now im a real moonshiner!


and the spoiler looks something like this now



cya till the next update

[mule.]

i knocked out one of my front teeth

how the hell does this happen??

[fpsthomas]

Long time no update.

Had my car loaded with people while driving to school and the tire was rubbing the fender on speedbumps and such. So i thought how about a cheap fix! So jacked it up got myself a steel grater? Dont know the english word for it, its a stick that works like sand paper :p

So long story short, i knocked out one of my front teeth :p ill upload a pic when i got them on my pc.

And i have the front spoiler sprayed, but need to make my bumper fit the spoiler because its a tupe 1 spoiler and i got a tupe 2 bumper.

Wish me luck ill post the pics as soon as possible!

[fpsthomas]

totally agreed on the color.

but from a bimmer to a toyota? ;P

I now drive a 2004 Toyota Corolla T Sport, with Dakar-style stance... Looks like a granddad's ride but is pretty damn fast.

If you think about repainting, it should certainly be zinnober red. I think it is the best colour for an E28.

[fpsthomas]

haha ok, looks great.
what are you driving now then? are we going to find that ride on this site?

the paint has some little spots so i'm thinking about a complete respray in zinnoberrot after al the little dents and rust spots are tackeld.

the color hella awesome. thanks for the photo!

[Jurriuit]

It's good to hear she hasn't let you down. It's an old beast but she has proven to be very reliable to me, if she is treated with some respect.

I found an old pic of how beautiful the colour is when freshly polished:


I will not be attending the sharknose meeting I think. Am afraid I'm not welcome there with my new ride

[fpsthomas]

If you think about shadowlining the car, sell all the chrome bits. They are worth more than what you paid for the car
The same goes for the shocks, they are as good as new.

I still miss the old boat, but I like what you have done with the stance!

how cool to see you here!
your car hasn't let me down a bit! ill keep the shocks for the rear or for my brothers e28 if he needs them! and ill look into the chrome lining! thanks for the tip.
are you going to the sharknose meeting this year? that's your chance to see it again, it might already have new wheel arches by then!

i forgot to tel this,
after flexing springs they came loose when there was no load on the wheels. so installed shorter shocks(konis) from an e30.
here some pics to see the difference between the shocks.





it drives alot better with these shock's less "bouncy" i guess.



and i bought a spoiler to fit the e28, found a cheap pfeba front spoiler. dont have pics of it yet, but i found a picture on google for refference. ill post some pics whenn i've painted it and mounted it.



i'll keep u guys posted

[fpsthomas]

Nice work. Are you sticking with the same color?

Yeah its awesome and saves work inside of doors and such
