Today, I took some time to go to a parking lot and shoot some Pictures quickly...

On the Sad part, I need to replace the Voltage Regulator on my Alternator, as it`s sending 16V to the battery when running and thats not good...

I found the part locally from Bosch for about $50...

I am starting to think this car was lack of TLC really... but we are willing to give it though...

Still no Deko Kit...

It is amazing how retarded Customs are down here....

The little mistake by the Logistics company and you are totally screwed...

Anyway I hope to sort that out soon...

More pics to come once the Decals are on...

I am glad the Alternator died on me near home... We were planning a Road Trip for this weekend and I was planning on take the E28 with me... now plans have changed

Looks great, nice work!!

Only thing I find out of place the the rear kit, it doesn't look "right" for an alpina.

Either way, great looking car you have there!!

Hat's off to you for restoring this rare and desirable car.

Hello new friends,

My name is Selector Duppy (at least my username anyway). I will be starting the restoration of a 1982 or '83 (I'm not 100% percent sure) BMW (E28) 533i. I am a BMW Couture certified master tech. I have been so since I'm 19 and am now 23. I thought I would join this forum and share my experience for all whom may be interested. I myself am a huge fan of BMW so I know what it's like for anyone who might appreciate such works.

I will keep you posted tomorrow on the first day of work. I will include pictures and a brief history of this particular vehicle as well. Hope you all enjoy.

It's my opinion that you "selected" the wrong content/context for your 1st post.
Why would you introduce yourself and comment about your own potential project without acknowledging the OP's work?
I think common courtesy would have been to compliment or criticize the OP and then reference your own build thread.

Yes, I did, but got some problems with my Motronic ECU that lead us into modify the Electronic system on the car...

We are switching to MegaSquirt next month, so far..

The car has been on the Garage since 2 months or so, and shoot pics have not been possible..

As I needed to do some more "Work" on the Car, I'd rather continue this thread as a part of the Restoration...

Yesterday I picked up the car from the Car Shop and bring it home...

I have to go on a business trip next friday, and wont be doing anything until mid August..

here are some pics on the movement via Tow Truck...

When I return, the car will be moved to another location which is the shop installing the MS.

As a side note, this person who will do the MS job have some expertise down here with these units.

There is a friend of mine who owns an E30 (335i) which already has to changed his computer for a MegaSquirt.

Im pretty confident on the modification and the work he will do.
