man this looks soooooo good!!!!! hows ground clearance ?

Thanks again! Front lip is about 80mm off the ground rest clears nicely.

soooo beautiful! Your car is awesome man! Def a piece of art

Cheers mate.

Moved house last week, said goodbye to my shed. Luckily the new place has a half decent shed. Just need to set it all up.







Finally got some photos of the e28 today. Nothing flash, just somewhere close by.
Need to start driving it again. Love how it now drives. Feels so in touch with the road.

Thanks again for the comments

Oh man oh man that is going to look so good. Are you going to run the same amopunt of camber front and rear?

Cheers.

Nope, not the same as the rear. About 4 degrees in the front. Rear is nearly 7.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow." Sorry to hear about your parents and the loss of garage/parts cars man... If it's any consolation, this thing is amazing. You took what was used as a field car and got it minty and roadworthy like a boss! Don't get disheartened dude!

Means a lot mate. It will be exciting to start a new chapter! Appreciate it!

Haven't got any decent full car photos yet. Only drove the car once so far with the new setup and that was to wheel align it. Pretty happy with how it drives. Drive-ability has gone out the window, but it is worth it.







Dialed in.

Do you mind sharing the process you used to polish your lips? I have been refinishing some wheels and need a good method for polishing. Also, sorry about your parents and parts cars.

my god so so hot man . god I love your car !

Decided on tyres sizes for the front. With with 195/50 in the Achilles ATR Sport 2.

Fitted them up at work then got them beaded the next day.





Rolled guards, fitted up wheels and adjusted heights. Oh also clear front indicator lenses (still undecided on these). Pretty happy with the front fitment.





Also got rid of all my parts cars

Finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel and things are going my way.

Rebuilt and refurbished a spare set of front brakes.







Braided lines to match the rears and new pads to hopefully add some more bite.



Had the front rotors machined.Then fitted the brakes and bled them up.





I only polished the rears by hand before fitting them last year. Thought i better do them properly this time.









Killed a drill half way through so replaced it with a DeWalt.







Went through quite a few polishing wheels to get the front and rears done.



Made a stupid mistake and didn't order new valve stems with the new lips. Turned out the standard lips valves wouldn't fit new lips. Three weeks later i had genuine bbs stems to suit the lips as I couldn't find any locally.



The tear down of the shed has began, moving time isn't far away. Looks like i should have the bimmer finished in time.
