Euro 528i back from the dead!

[Brian.]

Performance? Ain't performance, it's not a B33/b34/b35!

[YoungCR]

Today was a good day as I pulled the euro out of storage! 

Here is where she has been sitting since July. Glad it was a nice, warm sunny day today as I spent about 1.5 hours loading it on the trailer by myself (no rear suspension makes it a lot of fun  )

Hauled up to the new shop in Port Washington, even got to unload it all inside 

Cleaned off the snow and now its time to start wrenching!

List of to do's to get this driving:

• Reseal motor (if needed, hasn't run in almost 7 years not sure on condition)
• Upgrade to Motronic 1.3 (in preparation for megasquirt down the road)
• Install new clutch
• Put in complete drivetrain/exhaust
• Probably will install new suspension components
• Put interior back in
• Buy/Install euro headlights

Chris, the shop looks damn nice and spacious too! Now time to get some work done on that puppy!

Looks good Chris. I wish I had a shop like that.

I'm gonna out grow this pretty quick though! The spot to the right of the euro is for the other car and that's all I got (basically a two car garage). I'll have some storage space on the big racks but still I have a lot of parts and I'm planning on getting more  Plan is to have my garage emptied out next weekend and get all set up and then I'll have you guys over

Where does one find euro e28 headlights I really want them on my e28

[TCD]

Cool, I offered the PO $500 for that car 5 years ago.  At the time it was down near UWM.  Glad to see you bringing it back to life.

I've seen sets of grills and headlights going for $250 on ebay pretty consistently, although I'll see if I can get some shipped over cheaper.

Basically what I paid for the car minus the interior and rare euro parts That can all be replaced though!
