Dude your build so far is inspiring. Just the fact that you're still moving forward after seeing the condition of those floors makes me second guess giving up on my e28! Keep up the good work, in 1000% subscribed to this thread!!!!!!

Awesome build, a Mercedes like yours is on my shortlist for my next project but now I don't even want to since yours will always be sicker.

So your not going with brushed steel aircraft style?

I want to, I just **** to only mildly change something that already been done. I think the aviation style will still be maintained to an extent though considering the steel will still have that brushed look, lots of rivets, and the bomber interior.

Patina'd exterior with a clean black gloss bay, and a clean interior to boot would be sexy as fuck.

That's the direction my idea has been heading. If I'm going to do a shaved bay, the patina copper bay I think might throw it off.

..... I believe he's in the process of swapping a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale motor into his now though and going for the whole pro street thing, so the rest of us W114/15 owners basically suck now.
