E28 SETA Build

[RamRod E28]

So what does one do the night before scooters with a rusty as hell rear valance with the daylight dwindling??? YES!!! lets fix that valance and get her looking sharp!?!? Let's do some body work they said, it'll be fun they said...

not a great before shot but you can see what I had to deal with...

finally getting somewhere after fabbing patches and grinding for like 2 hours with the new Bosch grinder! Mi padre and some classy beer were helping

Finally ready for some spray bombing!

no more bumper mount holes!

Then just to get her done for now some plastidip (it was almost 4am when I left the shop! Thanks again Dad!)

Also if you have manual seats you have a cupholder!

Is that spray foam?  Or what did you fill the hole with?  It looks great BTW.

[RamRod E28]

metal behind the holes and body filler over it all sculpted to the body lines. (i need bigger twin tips now lol)

What are your plans for the front now?

I think smoked turn signal lenses would be a nice touch since they would be hidden a little better.

Keep it up...nice work

Wasnt a fan of that manifold design when i was shopping manifolds. I dont like how the tubes point at eachother at the turbo flange

[Rowleym]

I would highly suggest at least finding a different manifold. If you are looking for cheap(but also extremely effective) you should use the manifold adapter like snap.

Im liking the e34 front valance on e28s from the m5 for the front! and also headed back home from colorado tomorrow afternoon after working out here for 2 plus weeks and no days off (even for my bday!) and missing my e28 and miata like crazy!
