Boring E28

[CBREEZ]

I've finally decided what direction and purpose this car is going in after owning it for almost 10 months. I figured it deserved it own build thread follow me on this journey…

Pictures of the day after I brought her home








Soon after the man in the big brown truck stopped by..

and dropped these off


I got right to work soon after…






searched high and low for a socket big enough to remove the wheel hub…
finally found it at sears

coils being welded








After driving around town for while I decided I was going to try and make the 8 1/2 hour drive with her to OCMD so I brought her to work and had the guys try and clean her exterior up a bit…






After waiting for a month some euro goodies finally came in the night before H20….

but by then it was too late. This happened…

Then this






Finally after the madness that is H20i I got away for a few hours and and was able to start the tear down before the winter time…. sorry for the iPhone pics

Alright so I have some minimal updates, but they're updates nonetheless:

I removed the driver's side fender with some reluctancy because I was worried about finding rust the common places within this chassis. Luckily there was only surface rust. Due to all the manufacture's seam sealer the removal of the fender wasn't easy.






The motor on the driver seat that moves the front to back hasn't worked since I bought the car luckily for me it was stuck all the way back therefore driving the car was never an issue. Unfortunately, it was impossible to remove the driver side seat because the seat track was covering the rear seat bolts. So i had to get creative and use this bad boy to wind the motor moving the seat forward to access the rear bolts.



Hopefully this upcoming weekend I can pull the engine and transmission and continue the tear down. I'll keep you guys posted.

I remember all the seam sealer from the fender on my old e28. Was a major pain. Good work so far man.
