Hey guys well my brother and i picked up this e24 for my father. we got it cheap at 1k because it needs some work. We plan to restore it all and give it to my father for his b-day in june. Car is a 1980 635CSI at first we wanted to go with black but we decided to keep it with its original color. We also put some style 5 wheels we had laying around see how it looked. :thumbup:
yeah we are striping the car as of now. The rust will get cut out and new metal pieces welded on. I'll try to gets pics of everything and the process. we are also going to pull out the engine and transmission so we can clean off the engine bay and replace all the bushings. car runs great and has had work done to it i will show the paperwork and dyno sheets when i scan them. Interior is crap only the back seats and components are good the whole front is gone but we are going the switch out the whole interior. It has sport seats so those will get new foam and redone along with new wires and such, dash is going to be sent off to a company to restore with new vinyl overlay. What do you guys think of the brown stripes? i kind of like them at first i thought they were original but they are custom made you can see the work when inspected up close. :thumbup:
Sorry, lose the stripes and go with the stock sports stripes if you want to still have them. Just my two cents. What color are your interiors? Black or Brown?
