87 535is - getting started

[merl]

I was going to start this earlier but I forgot - I forget a lot - it might be a tumor

Just random shots of dis-assembly at this point. I will try to remember a real camera next time (here we go with the f*ing forgetting again) so the shots are a bit better.

I will tell you what is happening if you want to know or it just can be a surprise every time I update .... You decide

yay, another 535! I'm not the only NON-ETA E28.

[YoungCR]

Ohh I know I know! B35 swap still? Oh and I forgot to tell ya the M30B28 for my euro ended up not being sold, so I won't be buying your B34 unless that thing blows up or isn't fixable.

Fuck the Euro M20. Go with the big six. I'm still looking for a B35 head. =\

[KaiserRolls]

nice looking car!

[merl]

The motor is still happening but I am not sure if it will be complete for this year .... some stuff has to fall together. There is some cosmetic stuff happening this year and a new diff (shout out to GunMetalGrey) Gray ... Grey ... Gray .. $^%^(& I can never remember .... Grey in England and Gray in the US ... right ?? maybe ??

@Kaiser ... thanks for helping me succeed in the Arny joke

HEyyyy!!!

I am pretty sure I met you and complimented you on your car at Blackhawk on Aug 20th.

I was one of the Black E30s that rolled down with you and the silver E36 M3 .

This is me (refresher)

I'm looking forward to seeing updates!

[Brian.]

Less e30, more e28!

Gunna track the 535IS? Curious to see how bad the body roll is. Even with upgraded shocks and struts they seem to have some decent body roll

He already has, and it looked to move and handle real nicely

I'd like to track my E28 once I get a better suspension set up. But that won't be for awhile sadly =\
