Achingly gorgeous. Agree that it looks better w/orange corners, though.

How she looked when I first saw her/bought her...
Donor car I got to get a stash of parts from...
Right after the bumper compression mod with front spoiler/air dam install with matching paint and rear apron put back on.. Finally she's got all her body parts back on!
a few scenic pics..
Me on a day working on her...
I totally agree. But those Mat Kinnby lenses look 10 times better then my Clearz lenses. Hmmmm. I got to go check it out. (sorry no affiliation)

I love your M635, Nick. And I'm actually really fond of the clear lenses... They make the front end look really sharp and I think you've just convinced me to get a set for my shark!

that's the most gorgeous color i've ever seen for leather.
can't stand how boring my gray is when there are options like that...
I know it, man that looks good.
One owner 1983 633CSi VIN 6725576 'California' Model 5-speed sunroof Coupe w/Racing Dynamics/Bilstein Sport/Suspension Techniques /BBS RS 005/006 16" Wheels.
Alpina/Bilstein suspension 'sport' package when delivered new...now replaced with above suspension components.... Still lives in Southern California!
Hey thanks guys, I worked really hard and spent a lot of quality hours to get them back to their present condition. I've been really lucky to have acquired an interior of this caliber, style, and character. I didn't like them at first, but now, I just can't get enough of them. The weird part of all of this is that they are not even close to what their original color was (much darker), milk chocolate even. Maybe, one of these days I'll get there, but its better than good for me now. Aloha!

Work in progress.....
My goal is to have her ready by spring.
DAY 1 (two hours a day every day)
Sharks got teeth! (1984 tapered valence, I'm making the brackets)
Initiate Murdered Out Sequence
Diagnosis: It can be fixed. The crack is centralized to the lip.
JB Weld to the rescue (I heard of people fixing cracked heads with this)
Black to the Future (before the re-dye)
GOOD BYE
This is coming out (dropping weight).
This is going in!
The new seats are gonna be much lighter...
DING! Grills are done! (i.e. headlight bezels)
I got some work to do... The dash still needs to come out, as well as the rear self leveling system. New headliner, carpet, sound, seats and glass sunroof on the way. The cabin is gonna be covered with Radiant Heat Barrier Insulation too. I'll have a post with all the after pics.
It lives again!
Still running a bit crappy... but its drivable again...
Also. Help identifying color!?
Edit: Nvm. Its Rubinrot-Metall. Never heard of it.
