    Thanks a lot man! I sure hope all the prep work pays off and the paint comes off nice

    This is why I love bmw. There are people out there willing to put in the work to restore what could have been a forgotten peice of scrap metal. But we all know its so worth it. Excellent work so far

    It looks quite nice without the paint.

    Started painting today finally. Learning as I go but it's turning out well I think. Getting rid of a few runs tomorrow morning then finishing the base and hopefully will get to clear it as well

    Man that thing sounds gorgeous but it's too f1 for the e38 in my opinion it's gotta sound burly and angry

    Awesome work! It's so neat to see a drift missile/stanced 7 hahah

    Once those bumpers are on it's going to be one clean ride!

    Looking real good. Do you have an air ride front or hydraulics to get over speed humps or drive ways?

    While I don't like the suspension and wheel set up, I have to give you tons of credit for bringing back a rust bucket that most of us would never consider messing with. Good job.
