Bmw E38 wintersled "Rust Delux Edition"

[Asee]

So i got bored with nothing to do, the E28 was done for this year, so i bought my self an E38 for the winter...

Here she is



Ok, so i started to fix some rust issues, had some smaller rust here and there.






Then i went for some updating to the interior, sorry no before pic, but you know bmw and there awful brown cheap ass laminated tree interior....








And then i started to adress the newly rust removed areas with some rust primer





And then all HELL broke loose

I started with the rear fender



And OOOOPS







Just waiting for some clips to get all the trims back in place..


I also removed the rear struts and got some new one´s and managed to score some lowering springs front/back for an awesome price,





So my vision is to get some Ocean Caribien 19x8.5" and paint them in gold color of some sort and shoe them with M/S 225/35 tire´s



Thats it for now, ill be back with some new update´s later

Just a small update, missing some trim parts, and i need to find a new speedometer, but heey, its out of the garage...

I like it. Any close ups? What's the texture on that?

+1 for rust primer! I know that problem... on my old W201 i started to remove some rust... turned out to be more than expected... since i can't afford a fresh painting at this point i just painted it with rust primer with rattle cans. looked like this in the end:



It sticked to the car pretty well for nearly 3 years (then i sold it). Just be aware of bird sh*t, it will kill the painting. Also be carefull at refueling. Gasoline will bleach out the primer.

Also you should go the rat way. You wont get a nice clean look with this painting anyway :P

Sorry no close ups besides the bootlid pic.
The texture is smooth but not as smooth as factory paint, i could probably go over it with wet sandpaper, but i kind of like the surface.
