Insane resurrection!

Didnt get as much as i'd wanted done today.

-welded shut some unnecessary holes on front wheel housings
-fixed the rear silencer mount. It had fractured at some point and replaced with homemade one.
-applied some more seam sealer
-masked the car for painting, masking took a lot more time than i had anticipated..

Few pics:






More tomorrow!

This is incredible work man. Well done.

Little progress today.

Primered the front frame rails, rear axle mounting points and few other places:











Last pic has the rear silencer mount that i fixed yesterday, hopefully close to original..

Then it was time to spray the 2 component acrylic to frame rails, gloss black.




Applied seam sealer on rear axle mounting points and few other points after the primer had dried.

Continued dismantling the engine before leaving the garage.

[cossie]

Thanks for the positive comments!

Sprayed 6liters of stone chip coating to the floor and wheel housings:










Next up is surface paint, matte gray (same shade as the inner barrels of the wheels, but in matte).

It's great to see someone do a ground-up restoration of an E28. Great work! Are those 850 T5 turbos?

Also:

hahaha guess I'm not the only one who noticed xD.
