I wouldn't say last minute but I decided black would look less modern and more aggressive.

You do fine work. I especially like the clear glass hood.

I polished it too much, the hood that is.

I had my extra set of hood hinges sand blasted today, now I am painting them along with the bottom side of the new hood.

It looks like this build thread is over, on the last few pics my camera decided to stop working.

Unlike E28s, they still make cameras. And sell them.

Indeed. I could donate a vintage digital camera if that would help keep this thread going.

True, but I'm spending all of my money putting this silly car together... A good friend of mine is giving me one of his spares.

Fine, I will keep up the whoring.

Today I got my new hood pads, vent pads and seals and euro fog light delete panels. I love my local dealer and parts pals that enable my addiction! :D

A coke habit would probably be cheaper but it's fun getting piles of new parts to keep my mind off of how lame my personal life is :lol:

At least you don't have to help anyone move.
