    I just don't know how well it would hold up on the door pulls and such but it's worth a try I guess...

        Also kicked the van to the curb and bought another much faster toy!

        But back to the e28. heres some interior shots finally! I did the door cards and rear speaker deck in black suede and it turned out awesome!

        Moar e28 porn!

        And for the best part! M50 donor car!!!! Gonna be tearing into it soon!

        And just recently went out to visit my pride and joys... Cannot wait for spring to be here!!!

              Some form of an LS or LT will be going into the bmw at some point in time. the m50 is just to make up in the lacking of power dept... May do an m50b30 setup this year or just a quick dirty regasket and mild rebuild to not have it down for long...

                            debating whether or not to pick up some cheap headers for all the noise!

                                I have a friend interested in the stock e36 midsection. Let me know what you want for it if you go to a full custom setup

                                  Throw me an offer! It didn't leak at all and I also have that bmp strut bar I'm wanting to sell.

                                    Got some more work done to the M50. I got the trans, clutch and flywheel off of it, and took off the harness and all the old vacuum and coolant hoses. Then threw it up on a stand so I could work on it without throwing my back out. As of right now I have the manifold nuts and studs soaking in penetrating oil and the rest of the engine soaking in deagreaser.

                                    Also got the E28 out of storage and did hopefully its last oil change to the M20!
