Default BMW E12 - Let the project begin

BMW E12 , 5-series
Building year 1975
Engine 2.5L

When i bought the car it was like this.





Then i removed the emblems/logo's in the front grill, removed the fog lights.



Changed the headlights to original hella white.



Bought lowering springs that will lower the bmw for 4cm (1.57inch), have to put those under still..



Bought a wooden steeringwheel but it didn't fit. I need a different center release thing. I dont know how you call it. (steerwheelcenter?)



Bought new rims, BORBET A 16x9. These are gonna be coated and be made as new ; the color will be mirror chrome look. Waiting for my rims, will be done in about 3 weeks.






Today i got my new tires (size is 215-40-16), still waiting for my rims to be get done..



That is it for now, i'll keep you all updated about the progress!

Yeah i took off the fog lights almost immediatly after i bought it. I'll try and post some better pictures of my car without those.

The steeringwheel is original Hartge , but i was thinking of replacing the hartge emblem in the middle for some standard BMW logo. (my car has nothing to do with Hartge so it's kind of funny to keep the emblem )

I like the car, looks mint.
Wheels look great, but I just don't think they look good on the car.
