I'll take that as a yes.

why? that answer was obviously a no. He even said "it's not ruined"
Aesthetically it has changed to look similar to that of an old, rusted car - that does not mean it is "ruined."

Amazing as always, whats not to like!

You obviously did not read the question right. In my perspective the car does not look or drive like an e28 anymore therefore its "ruined".
Member
To each their own opinion. Thats what we are entitled to right? The answer to my response is no, I dont believe it's ruined. I like it, think its unique and a fun project given the history of what the car was and went thru. Did it handle better and look better as a 5er before the wreck? maybe. But now it's just awesome IMO

It's either going to be "yes, you're the only one who thinks it's ruined"(which I highly doubt, there's gotta be someone out there who shares the same opinion as you) or "no, you're not the only one who thinks it's ruined". While some may appreciate the style, others may not. I see it as a piece of art, while someone else might call it a piece of junk. One things for certain, it's not something that you'll see every day. And just because it may look and drive differently than it did the day it was driven off the showroom floor, doesn't necessarily mean it's ruined. It may serve very well as a daily driver for the right type of individual. Appreciate it for what it is, an expression.
Technically his answer was neither a yes or no. However, being that he disagreed with the person asking the question's opinion, his answer would likely be a yes

Thanks for the love everyone.
Someone asked me earlier today how rolled Rusty’s fenders actually were. So here’s a side-by side comparison with my car and a stock car on my 17x11 et-10 Ronal rear wheel.
No spacers on either car.

So...you are saying you had to slightly roll the fenders a little bit to minimize rubbing?Thanks for the love everyone.

Amazing

It is crazy the amount of work needed to go as low as you are with this car. I saw it at H20 and loved every second of it. Great build thread.
