  • my e28 build

    well i brounght my e28 528e in january as a daily driver. i was just going to leave it stock to build up my e36 but we all know how that goes. i went and checked it out. the whole car was pretty dirty. there was a film of this oily crap on all the windows so you could barely see out of them. the roof was oxidized and there is an area on the drives side rear quarter panel that the paint is coming off. besides these little problems the tires were brand new tires new brake pads the interior leather was clean as hell and the odo stated 141,000.


    this is what it looked like once i got it. the p/o took these pics.









    i drove around as it sat for a few weeks until i could afford the wheels and tires i wanted for it then started hanging out with sean.

    the monday before MFEST in vegas me and sean decided to go and figured we would lower my car before then. i swear to god everynight that week we pulled my suspension off and put it back on cutting coils and seeing if got me low enough. we finally got to a spot where i felt i was happy with it. put the wheels back on and smashed my huge ass diving boards in.

    it looks 1292489723984 times better.









    well my birthday was on moday and i got some $ so i started ordering some parts some strut bars new shocks and this... just to get the front end a little lower. 6 inch springs all around 600lbs front 700lbs rear.




    they are going on this weekend along with hopefully some new wheels and a ton of spray paint to change things up some more.

    there is a pretty sweet motor swap i have lined up which i didnt thing was going to happen but its back on again and im stoked. m50b25

    thats all for now there will be more pics as soon as mike gets here and things are changed up again.

    c&c welcome as always.

        nice.

        I'd love to pick up an E28 as a daily. The only problem with that is that I know myself, and it would end up being another thing to dump money into. Maybe if I just promised myself suspension, brakes, and wheels and tires.
        I like to modify things.

          hahaha ya it kinda sucks.

          altho you can do these cars for pretty damn cheap but to get wheels flush is dumb ause u need either a huge wheel or a huge spacer. u should do it tho

                I can't wait to get out there and help. If it gets finished before I get out there, don't post any pics. We'll do a proper shoot.

                        Bastard(regarding GCs)! This is going to be so sick. We need to do a shoot when I've got my RDs on. The plasti-dip'd TRXs(with cracked sidewall balloon tires) just aren't cutting it. Are you going to cut and weld the spring perch lower? OH, and if Sean comes Sunday, if it's cool I'll probably roll with.
