    No but it will have a V8 with ITB's before long. And will live up to it's color.

    I've missed on two Estoril E38's, I doubt I get to many more chances.

    Was this thing for sale locally (Richmond)? If so how did I miss it?! Excited to see what you do with it, I'm sure I'll see it at C&C sometime soon.

    It popped up on ebay the day of my BMW meet and I decided to jump on it. It was in NY but I met the seller in MD.

    So far I pulled the tint and painted the trim black. AC Schnitzer Type II's in 19" staggered are on the way to me now.

    No, it's a re-spray. But an incredible re-spray. Everything but the engine bay (including the underside of the hood).

    Here are some photos taken by the OP.

    Estoril and E38?!?! Best combination I have seen. What kind of paint did you use for the trim? I am tried of using back to black or forever black on my moldings.

    Gorgeous, can't beat an e38 or e53 in estoril. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

    What color was it before?

    I've always used black shoe polish on my moldings. Do it once a year in spring and holds up really well.

    Thanks, everyone!!!

    I sanded the trim down with 600, U-pol gray primer and then Sikkens Rally black with lots of light coats. I ended up using 3 cans of rally black.

    Gorgeous! I've had longtime feelings for the E38s, and Estoril puts that over the top. Great find!

    Here are the new wheels that will arrive on Monday. ACS (original Ronal's) staggered 19" Type II's. Just so happened that another forum member was ready to move on when I inquired about them. I really wanted gunmetal 20" BBS LM's but the used set on ebay is just too much for me right now. I also ordered some Bridgestone's today in 245/40/19 & 275/35/19.

    If you ever decide to sell this project, I call dibs.
