Your thread is so entertaining to read/watch. I just bought a 190e daily last week. Its rauchsilber. I wish i could stance it but my E28 is in the garage for prepping for the new season. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Just do them work and you endup with what you want, id love to have E28, i actually ownd one 528i E28 back in 2007..

I need dem dials...

Spend some $$$ and you has them! i like them, altho the zadatech guy didnt have the requested "Mercedes Benz" boot screen on the display..

So ive got bit forward with the build...

Plan for rear drive axle:


After market hood "fixed":


ARP Studs on bottomend:


Fuse & relay boxes 'done'


K-type sensors for exhaust:


I did blueprint the pistonrings:




So build is moving forward piece by piece as said earlier bottom end is now missing crankbearing.. (ordered rod + crank bearing last week but crank bearings delayed until nextweek..)

Also i did start the actual wiring job for the chassis, some of it done already but more of that later on. cheers..

[Exami]

this build.... holy fuck, I was actually kind of upset when I got to the 10th page and realised I wouldn't see the end, bit of a cock tease really haha

Definitely subbing to this, cannot describe how impressive this whole build is. No holds barred!

Thanks!

Things are moving forward. at least some phase.. not fast but steadily..
Bit of painting done:



Block has machined for the pistons and such.



Got a driveaxle..

Compared to oem..


Got the diff rebuilt, from 25% lock up to 50/50 locking with extra clutch discs..


Testing new axle...


Next up sand the car, get it painted, get micro stubs, modify rear wheelhubs for bigger spline.. and measure crank & rod bearings. order bearings, test clearance, new arp hardware bottom and head.. build bottomend. quite a list..
