e23 progress...

[Das_Prachtstrasse]

Nice. That adhesion promoter is excellent stuff. I'd have run the tape a bit wider though as it has a habit of lifting on rubber spoilers after a bit of time. Be sure to keep your eye on it.

nice progress, looks great!

surprised by your front fender, passenger side. don't remember seeing that.

[D Unit]

damn Dunit, I truly envy you. Would you be able to provide more details on your exhaust setup? more specifically the muffler.

thanks and great job

Since I'm in California, I used a CARB'd approved Magnaflow highflow cat, then single 2.5" pipping to Vibrant 1793 resonator , Magnaflow 12368 muffler, and generic 2.5" tips.

That is the best looking e23 spoiler I've seen. Maybe it's the install or the lines are crisper? Love it. That's a perfect example of how great an e23 can look. Well, minus the fender dents. Can you PDR those?

I had a PDR appointment 2 weeks ago but missed my appointment. All dents will get fixed soon enough.

I bought some 3m vinyl decal... Thanks for the tip.

Needs a little fine tuning on the front IMO. Make it drop straight down like the back. It almost looks like the front was intended for use with mudflaps as is. fix that and it will look great. Who made the skirts? Sorry if I missed it.

Really beautiful. I really like the rear spoiler, but seeing pics of the rear of the car without it made me recall what a beautiful graceful design it is for a big sled.

E23s look so much less dated in white.

Very true.

I love this car! Nice work

[ElGuappo]

Not sure if the side skirts are gonna work, they look kind of fat, and may ruin the sleek lines of the car.
Might look better when painted though, we shall see of course.

Not sure I follow what you mean? I know I still have to dial in the front bumper though since I only managed to bolt 3 out of the 4 bolts... maybe I'll take care of that this weekend. The skirts are Racing Dynamics.

Here's a cool pic of the interior...



BEFORE...


AFTER...




Also took the time to detail the car - clay, Meguairs m105, BlackFire polish, CarPro CQuartz, and CarPro Reload. I highly recommend CarPro Cquartz which is not a wax or a sealant... Stuff is AAAMMMAZING.



And guess what's coming in tomorrow?

[1st 5er]

Stunning!
I think I'm in love w/ Aplineweiss.
Schwarz.

[D Unit]

Wheels came in last week... Since then I applied 2 coats of Cquartz and another coat of CarPro Reload. Wheels are now hydrophobic for the next 2 years...

AFTER - hand brushed centers with clear powdercoat/polished lips.
Fronts 17x8.5 et13
Rears 17x10 et19

You need a rear kit now I think

[Hffvdbl]

Great progress! Are the new wheels on yet?

[ElGuappo]

Very nice, though I am still not sure about the side skirts...

This. They just seem too plasticky and stuck on at this point. Car itself looks great though!
