just wait and see, until they come on the car, I'm sure it will be nice. Based on how I like it then, and that is the most important. :)

Hay B,

You should colour code the spokes on your new wheels to match your paintwork.

Powdercoated? They look a lot like mine, only that mines are Zinc coated to minimize rust attack.

Thank you, Bent - for the kindest words. In some ways, you may be right - in others not. I do go through the entire car, but since I am not building a "new" car - I am not that detailed like you have been. I just want mine to be a bit over average, I cannot pay more attention than I do already, coz my E21 will be the "anal- perfection-project". My E28 will look good finished (hopefully), but when parking next to yours - I will stand in the shadow when it comes to perfection. But as I said, I am aware of it. I just want to have a fun car, that looks good, and rides well.

I have considered for a long time if I should set up a thread here also, but to be honest - I do not know if I am ready for it. I have a seen quite a lot of internet-heroes on different US-forums, that are directly rude - too rude. I do not affect easily, but I do not want to waste my time. I have dropped out from every US-forum exept this one, but I have not been a regular here. Lately, I have been more frequently - and so far I enjoy this forum. So yes, maybe I should copy some pictures over to this thread. (But I do have a lot of pics in the Norwegian thread, almost too many ;) )

I agree with Pedi....

There are a lot of Forums out there that are simply rude...

I think restoring a car needs to be done right, but it also depends on budgets, specially if the restorer have family, etc.

For me, i had wait for 2 years, since i could purchase this car, in a "reasonable" good condition... However, these cars involves many details to make them as much original as possible, and parts, especially badge, and upholstery is really hard to acquire recently.

I really have done very few contacts over here that i am really happy with. Almost everyone who i have exchange emails and stuff have been nice.

I do have some other purchase pendings, but i need to wait until early January, since i do work on a monthly budget for this car, otherwyse, my wife will pass me the bill!!

Happy New Year to everyone...

Abdiel
