Rotten euro E28, 2015 turbo update

Post by TotiTurbo »

I've had this for a couple of years now...

Started out as a 1986 518i, then was a 528i for a couple of weeks, and finally got a M30B35 out of a '89 E34 535i

On 17" staggered Azev A wheels

on 17" staggered Style 5's RC035/038

And just some random pics of it

Yeah, that is a rotten car alright. It is so bad you should just give it to me so you don't have suffer being seen in it. ;)

One of the few e28s I've seen with Azev wheels besides my M535i, although mine are 16".

I'll take some better pictures when it stops raining to show the extent of the rust issue, it's pretty much beyond repair.

I have another body that will get the drivetrain from this one once it falls apart :D

Well ... I guess that is one way to hide rust. Hide it in plain sight. :laugh:

That's pretty awesome! Did you just dump brake fluid all over it or use some sort of aircraft paint stripper? Freakin nifty idea.

What's the weight/load limit of that roof rack? Having 4 wheels with mounted tires up that high has to do some interesting things to the car's handling....

It sure does. Especially in the rain. Ask Skip how I know. ;)

Can you see through that giant sticker in your back window? My unsolicited advice would be to remove it.

The stickers were for a temporary sponsorship, they have been removed, along with the roof rack :D
