    It really should not be too bad ... the harness is modified for an e28 already so when the engine is out of the car, I think I will mount the harness to the engine and put it in all at once. There are just some connectors that make me scratch my head a bit. 

    Once on the engine, it will make more sense.

      Rear holes filled and painted ... I was stressed about this so I am glad it is complete.

        euro lights/bumpers on the e28 are the best modification anyone could make

            Front Spoiler is shipping ... I have tracking number ... YES !!

            Received some gauges for Oil PSI, Temp, Water Temp this week. I ordered a ashtray pod that is for the e30 but with the Euro center console I am really thinking and hoping it fits.

            Bottom of the drivers fender behind the wheel is worse than I thought. I am trying to figure out a way to band-aid it for this year as I am not doing body work besides trim paint and what I had to for the bumper install. 

            Engine not out yet as the pistons and cam have not officially been ordered yet. Once that is a for sure, engine will come out.

                Aw man now I feel like I need euro bumpers! looks sick.

                Brian the body roll is gnarly. My "new" car has a much sportier setup (Bilstein sports, ST springs and sways, strut braces) so I am hoping it will be a littler flatter.

                              Happy Happy birthday indeed! Is that a reproduction? or does the oem bumpers come in white?

                                Spoiler is a reproduction and in primer.

                                I bought the bumpers from someone else that had them spayed alpine white for his car but never installed them so they are new but generally come in primer or chrome...

                                Both the bumpers and spoiler will be sprayed body color

                                  Gotcha. All the oem stuff now is painted black primer.

                                    bumpers may have been black when originally ordered. Although they did come from BMW - South Africa so who knows... 

                                    Just ordered another chunk of stuck from Blunttech .... I am so glad I am not keeping track on this build
