Glad I'm not the only one with multiple E28's! Is your '84 Cirrus Blue? Also I can give you advice on how to not rebuild a front end 

I am just now having issues on being able to upload pics again and I don't think I have a pic editor on my lappy but I was able to upload earlier.

See how do you get these nice big pics to load in??? I was lucky enough to get the few I have to load up and now I cant load squat!!!

[RamRod E28]

Also ramplesauce I have never painted a car before so I think ima go bumperless do the bondo work I need to, to get rid of the bracket holes is black an easy color to spray a car? I was thinking about just dipping the roof hood and trunk black and see how I like the matte finish.

You would want to weld plates over the holes for the bumper shocks and then use as little filler as possible to smooth them out. Try to avoid bondo as much as possible.

I also highly suggest you do not plastidip the roof, hood, and trunk. I sprayed my whole car and it was a huge pain yo remove (had it on for 6 months and there is still some in spots I havent gotten off) and for the price you can just spent a lot less money and do the tried and true $50 rustoleum paintjob. I have seen some amazing results with that.

Also, use photobucket to upload pictures to and then paste the image links here.

Remember: Black shows imperfections like crazy.  I'd recommend going with a primer paint job.  Plus you'll have that mad dope rat rod style that all the kids are dub steppin' about.

What color cloth interior? I dislike leather

Update y'all I traded my 944 for a 2001 Grand Cherokee V8 Laredo with every option in it, the thing hauls so much ass. Also I got the diving boards off the blue e28, Im in the process of swapping the leather from the wrecked one, which I think the parts car can be saved after cutting and removing all the Fd up front end parts. Also just lowered the front on the e28 about 2 inches about to do the rear in a bit just need new wheels to see how low I can go. Smoked a deer with my 3 series so gotta fix that (fuzzy bastard only dented the fender and hood a little and broke the FL blinker and broke the headlight lens as well). Wish I could throw up some pics but the uploader on here is a pain in the ass.

ok update on the bimmers I got the e46 back into commission after the deer incident just put in new headlight covers and smoked blinkers for now and gonna have a full paintjob and have all the imperfections fixed next spring so I have a fun winter bomber. Next off after dubs downtown drove the e28 home with no issues and even drove it to work a good number of times. Then I drove a total of 2 miles into town and the tranny started slipping like a bitch. the way back to where I store it.. lost all forward gears but reverse works like a charm . sooo.... manual swap happening sooner than expected lol .

[RamRod E28]

and after Christmas gets done empting my pockets I can get back to getting a turbo for the e28. any tips for megasquirt??? or should I just run bigger injectors for now?

Whose 944 is that in your photosuckit album?

[RamRod E28]

Snap as much as I would like to say yes I'm gonna say no... A great handling car and smooth ride but everything under the sun went wrong with mine and was a maintence whore so stay away lol. Glad I got rid of mine for a jeep

[DrLeadFoot]
