[RamRod E28]

I just moved to mineral point from Stoughton so I'm on the southwest part of the state now but I still make the over hour drive to go cruise cause its all fucking trucks here

[jc43089]

Thread Jack! Mineral point, Nice! you are only about 20 mins from me in pvegas, we will have to meet up sometime.

[Brian.]

Alots sorta? Happened to the E28 since I last updated this. I know alot of you thought I died or some shit, but truth is, I got a bitchin' job on 3rd shift. Been busy partying, workin. Don't post much due to my computer took a massive shit, an I'm wayyy to lazy to fix it, and or post via my phone. Just follow me on Facebook for up-to-date shiz. =]

[Brian.]

Then this.

Just kidding, that's not my car, but it is. Same errythang, minus interior color, and manual trans.

[Brian.]

Oh, I also manned up and installed an Alpina trunk spoiler.

[Brian.]

A few of us that rent a huge shop together parked our cars for the winter, Here's where she's resting for the winter.. gunna try to clean up the little rust I have, fix the dents/roll my fenders (Hella) Repaint the car, and hopefully bag it.

I also pulled my wheels off, gunna polish them an redo the faces!

[KaiserRolls]

the euro plate placement makes me sad.

it covers the  .......

[Brian.]

the fish face doesn't exsist anymore, I told you that. haha

[Brian.]

Well, picked up Jawa's E28 that he had for sale, the Delphin blue one. So now I have that, might winter beater it for the winter, then drop the trans/motor for it so I can manual swap the Beige shark. Unsure yet. But it runs and drives damn good!

[RamRod E28]

That's what I thought about my auto in my blue bomber and all at once boom nothing lol. I guess my car is just being an attention whore and wants the manual trans inside her.

[Brian.]

I'd motor/trans swap your car dude. Fuck M20's in E28's. Lol

[B C]

The M20 is God's engine.

also,   Doc360, megasquirt, fake wheels, and I love mountains.

[Brian.]

M30 is gods engine.

[Brian.]

Since parking my car I've slowly been dismantling the front end and removing the motor and trans. Well yesterday was D-day, I spent 6 hours, and got the motor down to a short block, then pulled the motor and auto trans as a whole. Went super smooth.

Gunna be fixing the little bit of rust my car has, ordering new fenders, fixing the door, and redoing the engine bay. The way this engine bay comes from factory looks like a cluster fuck on the drivers side, and I'm not a fan of that. So I'll be trying to clean it up more.  Going out today to do more work on the car aswell as separate the motor from the trans.

[Earl]

So are you doing a mild shave and tuck?

[jc43089]

That sounds kinda personal...

[Brian.]

Shave? Eh. I'm just getting rid of the un used factory brackets. a tuck? Not really, tucks are stupid. I'm just making the engine bay look more representable. The drivers side of an E28 is a traffic jam of hoses and wires.

[Earl]

So if you clean up the wires, that is a tuck

[Brian.]

Wrong, a tuck is "TUCKING" the wires behind, in and or under something. I'm just rerouting them in the engine bay to not have a mixed not of coolant hoses, brake lines, power steering lines, and wires all twisted around each other like they came from the factory....
