E28 SETA Build

[YoungCR]

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...

[YoungCR]

Good point

[RamRod E28]

Well Im back with some updates! Its been forever since ive been on here but I still have the e28 and have done the all black interior and pretty much just been enjoying it for the beautiful classic toy that it is! 

Also kicked the van to the curb and bought another much faster toy!

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

So you are M50 swapping the e28?

[KaiserRolls]

Swap m50 into corvette. Motor and drivetrain from corvette into e28

[RamRod E28]

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...

[RamRod E28]

The M50 is free!!!

Do a burnout

Also will you be using the stock mid section from the e36?

I don't quite understand what you are saying Kaiser???

Exhaust

[RamRod E28]

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

[RamRod E28]

debating whether or not to pick up some cheap headers for all the noise!

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

Throw me an offer! It didn't leak at all and I also have that bmp strut bar I'm wanting to sell.

Got some more work done to the M50. I got the trans, clutch and flywheel off of it, and took off the harness and all the old vacuum and coolant hoses. Then threw it up on a stand so I could work on it without throwing my back out. As of right now I have the manifold nuts and studs soaking in penetrating oil and the rest of the engine soaking in deagreaser.

Also got the E28 out of storage and did hopefully its last oil change to the M20!
