Back To The Start: E28 Shenaigans

[12vsex]

SO jealous of your wheel collection.... You sir, have fantastic taste. Did you ever sell those Riken's? Sorry if I missed that update haha. Either way, pumped as always to see progress in this thread man, keep it up!

Thanks bud!! Yeah I sold them to a local guy to me . He's going to be putting them on his e12

So I've been slowly doing small things to the car . Mostly cleaning and painting trim , haven't documented much of that , but here's what's happened .
Got my euros in after waiting almost a month . Couldn't be happier


As soon as I got home I installed them , messed with the wiring a bit a painted the surrounds with Duplicolor trim paint . looks brand new.



a week later I got my Lamin-x in . Its not everybody's cup of tea. But its my tea and I like it .






You may not have seen it , but the previous owner thought it would be "cool" to paint the license plate recess with Black paint.looked ok , but not my cup of tea. So I pulled out some acetone and went to work . hit it with some good old Griots Polish and wax with Griots Polisher. Actually showed me that most of the paint on the car can be re-freshed! Sorry pic's suck . Please excuse the nasty ass trunk , Its full of bbs centers
Also picked up my New plate . One of the Pluses to owning an older car




And for the good stuff. ( I will be using my DSLR from now on . I promise )
RS centers are back from Spintech and I got NOS BBS valve stems and caps . More shit for little punks to steal off my car.



Starting on the lips and barrels this week , ill be documenting that along with whatever else I can . Need to get to work on a few "maintenance"items too

Well.. since I am really lazy and I'm far too lazy to post anything major right now , I will post a sneak peak . Car is on proper suspension , proper wheels , proper tires , proper a lot of things.

Awwww yiss. It looked really good man. I think I got a couple shots of it if I remember correctly

Well... lets see em !

[12vsex]

well I may as well update the thread .
First starting from where I left off. Interior...
I chose tweed because I like the look and has a cool vintage feel .

oh and if your doing fabric and need a good adhesive... get the good stuff








Shortly after that I was pulled over for going UP A HILL IN THE RAIN AND BREAKING TRACTION... Needless to say a warning turned into a 700$ ticket because he tried harassing me about driving my car in the rain with collector plates . I told him there's no law that says I cant drive it in any sort of weather just not as a Daily. Anyways , he tried to flat bed the car , didn't work out . called my lawyer and its been dismissed. I wish cops these days would be a little nicer . Im almost 30 , im not some kid in a 240 drifting ( no offence to any 240 kids )


Bought a e12 euro mirror delete. I love it and **** it . Its a huge pain in the ass to parallel park and not curb my wheels .


Also did a rear fog that I bought from a buddy in the UK

Brother stopped by in the Cocaine Cruiser .

Hood bra came in


and that's when I got to work on the Wheels




took a break and put my new driver door on . Old one was rusty as hell for some reason .


finished that and got back to work on the wheels .



a.d.d kicked in AGAIN and I Decided to throw a new s.i board in so that my coolant gauge would work .

Then my Coils came in ... and I realized that I still hadn't finished my wheels .


So I finished the wheels. Again ... yes I have major A.d.d



Then it kicked in again and instead of staying home during the weekend and actually doing work , I went to a car show.


Came home and Monday I got my tires installed. 195/50 on a 16x10
