The E38: An unexpected journey

[mpower5266]

Man this thing isn't done yet?

[Fruttolo]

wheels are not bad at all! Not an usual style on a big car like an e38

[DawsonLiri]

Well I found the only person with the time between updates longer than mine

[LCG]

Ok.. Update.. Finally...

So after many years...

You see the pictures on the post above... Well I didn't like the outcome.. the color was nice.. it just didn't do anything for the car..

So.. back to:






Yes yes I know.. but If I waited so much.. what is another much...
This time it will be San Marino Blue. *crosses fingers*


But the other thing after the wheel drama..
Not in the specs I wanted, not in the sizes I wanted, and not in the offsets I wanted.. but we have wheels.











ok thats it for now.. see you in 2 years for next update!

Been following this build for far too long, I'm sure everyone is feeling gutted just watching/reading everything thats happened to you. Hopefully everything will start going according to plan. Good luck man, we're all rooting for you

Thanks Brother, I appreciate it.

Here are the pictures I took yesterday... not many as there was not much to see as you can see... see?






I will take it in a more positive way, after all.. we all are going to die

Paint has some flaws, it did not end up like I wanted... like anything is... ha...

I was asked if I wanted to repaint or wait till I finish building it, so I just took the opportunity to get it out of there.

Supposedly car will be ready to pick up this Friday. will that be true? or true in what condition?... gotta wait till Friday I guess.

I'm going there today later after work.. will snap a couple of pictures and post them.

Cheers

Still no progress?

car is in storage as the business where it was closed... ( wonder why.... )

I have been sumped in depression and have not really done anything car related on the past months.. I think this a thing that happens to all of us when we lose motivation and that is why threads just disappear into the void

Everyone has their "fuck this shit" moments every now and then, just let it pass and you'll get back to work on it more than before

however, this car is still pretty much one of my favorite cars ever, so it will be finished... I just have not searched for a new place to finish the job.

we need a update! my fingers are crossed

None of these are "game-changers" or anything, so I guess it depends on your goals for the car, but I think they all look clean and classy, and they're plentiful enough to find without having to deal with shady sellers. Besides that, an E38 is a rare enough car (at least a rare enough build) that it doesn't require anything particularly "unique" to stand out and look good. Maybe that's just me. But there's no sort of "standard recipe" E38 builds like there are with more common platforms.

At the very least, these are good "interim" wheels while you search for your dream set.

BBS LM (first set are reps, not sure about the Imola car)

The wheels on the Imola car are reps. I know the owner. But it has a supercharged S62 under the hood.

I arrive and he runs for the hills, he can’t run very far before I scorpion the hell out of him. ( If you don’t get this, go have a childhood ).
