E28: The Road to a Showstopper

Love the paint on your Roundels

Its been a long time since i have visited these forums, but what a car to start the viewing pleasure with.

A nicely done E28. Gives me a huge amount of motivation to get mine running.

I had much the same interior trim to yours. Blue everywhere. But was lucky enough to source beige trim, seats, door trims, dash, carpet etc. Ended up painting the door trims and lower dash black to break it up a little.

Oh and love the wheels

Thank you very much! Awesome when someone really likes your car haha! And yes it doens't look too bad like this but i am going to change up everything anyway

And I also went to Players Classic show at Goodwood Circuit. It was my first time driving my car to another country and also driving around in England, on the other side of the road! It was only a two day trip, with my girlfriend but it was lovely driving around the south of England along the coast and the show was absolutely amazing. Best show I have been to so far! Here are some pics of the trip:






Pic next to the ILBDriversClub stand, of which I am a big fan. They gathered some of the best E28’s in existence in front of it <3 And yeah that’s me and my girlfriend!



On the train inside the Eurotunnel, tight fit!

Loving this man! I wish they were more common over in the UK... always wanted one! My dad had one in the exact same colour, same interior and same engine!

Nice! Well they are great cars for the money if you ask me, i'd say grab one while they are still reasonably priced

Das ni ver, ik ben zelf van Tremelo. Ik heb ook een e28 gehad maar deze is ondertussen al een dik jaar verkocht.

Shes coming together nicely, seems like you have the slightest reverse rake tho, the front could come down a bit.

You are right! The moment i decided to go and to that i realised the coilovers are stuck threaded in the bottom.. They are currently off the car and yet have to unseize them. But the car is off the road now for big changes so it's not urgent

There was an event at my dad’s work (he works in the military airport) and I arranged that my car could be on the tarmac, which let to some very cool pictures with the mighty C-130 Hercules.









Also just before the trip to England my Rondell wheels got finished at my dad’s work. I chose a Ssangyong color, SSANG.8001M. A dark gray with a little bit of flake in it. I decided I wanted a matt finish, so this is how they came out:









I am satisfied! I also chose neochrome valves as a finishing touch. I could finally put them on the car. Very pleased with the result





Nothing changed between then and the end of August because I had exams in June and went on some vacations with my family and friends.
I attended another meeting/rally close to where I live. But on the way there I had some issues with my alternator. One of the bolts that keeps it in place came loose causing the circuit to be open and not charging my battery. Luckily some straps made it work for the time being.

You’re one up on options from mine... mine wasn’t even spec’d with a Radio from factory! God knows how he previous owner drove it for 33 years with no music!

Looking good though

Yeah a radio is an absolute minimum haah, especially with the noisy m10

Awesome to see another Shark owner! Hoping to turbo my e28 m30 this winter and do some low and wide things ;}

I'm happy to see the results of that!
