      Well I'm Back!!! Lots of updates now and more to come...

      First off, I ordered a ton of parts for the e28...

      OE air filter

      PCV breather hose

      New intake elbow

      Spark Plugs 

      Cap and Rotor

      Lower Control Arms

      Thrust Arms

      All new say bar links

      Rear subframe mounts

      Center Link

      Inner and outer tie rods 

      New Idler arm with bushing

      While I was waiting on parts to show up I stripped the beige carpet out that weighed a ton in the and have been cleaning any bits of rust in the floor (Gotta say I'm impressed for a 31 year old WI car!) All in the pursuit of weight reduction YO! I'm putting black carpet in from MKOEPP That will save me close to 50lbs and itll get me closer to a full black interior! (Anyone have black e28 door cards???) And I painted all the lower dash sections black to match the dash as well.

            Why not just paint the door cards too? Center console came out great and it's all the same materials. You can separate the carpet and panel on the cards too I think.

              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...

                  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!!!

                    Suede door cards look good from 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...

                                          nope. gonna fab up a whole custom setup that will hopefully run out the center like my current setup.

                                          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
