Well it's coming along slow but sure. Interior all swapped and hope to have the engine out by mid week.
I may take the valance off my seta...better shape and closer in color. I can't put the US diving board bumper on yet because of garage door clearance.

Used car lot on Howell and Oklahoma
Looked pretty clean. I did not have much time for pictures or a in depth look. Price is right...missing spoiler? I have not run the vin yet but that may tell more. Nice looking car.

Anyone familiar with the "Green Hornet?"
Spotted on I94 East last week.
It is here....sweet car all the way around. Worth more money in parts than to get running and sell. E28 history here...same owner for 15 years....tender loving care....

Looks great and if remember asking price was a deal. Nice find!

I know...Pictures will come soon.
Nothing to really see at the moment.

Well after thinking about it for way too long, I decided to dismantle the 533 rather than the seta. It is the better looking of the two runners I have but the seta is just plain worn out and the swap will take less time. The 533 has rust in many hidden areas but has lots of goodies. I will drive the seta (very reliable despite the looks) this winter and hope to have the 535 running soon.
I have ordered and have received new sub frame bushings, dog bones, diff mount, CSB, engine gaskets ect... I am ready!!
I cancelled insurance on it this morning just to put in cement and deter me from changing my mind again. I have most all of the interior out. I am cleaning/installing the interior to save space and chance of damage due to just laying around. Space is still a problem.
It has taken a while but I am really hyped on this. Depending on work/free time I hope to have this running in two weeks.

Welcome....
Sounds like you have some great plans.....
BTW
We all love pictures here
Feel free to post some -
Now that I am situated in my new home and am getting ready to bring the e21 there as well, I wanted to turn what was once a sun room attached to the garage, into a workshop. Plans are to take out the windows and make it a solid wall so no one can see in anymore, build a worktable and eventually insulate it and drywall the rest. One of the cool parts tho is that most if not all the wood will be recycled and cost me zero dollars. My dad is currently rebuilding his backyard deck (where the 4x4s and 2x4s will come from) and my brother just replaced his flooring in the living room with carpet (where the table and shelving tops will come from). I started out measuring the area and modeling the room layout in my 3D program I use for work. This is what I came up with.
Next I demolished a storage box that was built into the wall making room for part of the table.
First section almost done framing.
First section done framing and ready for the tops. Second section almost done framing.
Its getting there. I'm pretty excited!
If you need a hand just send me a PM. I am close and willing to help

Looking good. I like the planning/thought going into this. It will be what you want and less work down the road.

Cleaned her up yesterday and going to clay and wax her today.
I ended up staining the picnic table and yard fence instead. I may get to it tonight or early tomorrow. I really need to build it up as I may be driving it this winter
. If I can I hope to get a mini van to prevent this but it does not look good as of now.

Sold my 328i today... it was a sad day but I could tell the guy that bought it was truly thrilled after he drove it.
Now you have some wiggle room for new projects ?
.I only sold one BMW that I owned and that was a 94 325i sedan. I really liked the car but it was TOO small. I always felt cramped. It was great in all other regards and a blast to drive. It was in that car that I received my only speeding ticket in the last 15 years. I remember doing 55 and downshifting and rev matching into third and "Holy Crap" did that thing pull. I do miss it for that reason alone. I have a sweet spot for my E28's. I guess I am getting old but still have some class

Then when I got home before the game on thursday I saw this in my alley. Friend of a neighbor's. I told him about WIBimmers. I hope he will chime in here soon.
Not a BMW but cool. I guy builds these things a few blocks from my house.

I saw this in Bay View the other day.
This thing was beautiful! I would have gotten some interior shots but I did not feel it was right. The interior was just as stunning as the exterior.

Welcome

I just ordered new bushings and should have them in a week. I have never done it but I have access to a press and will be removing the sub-frame. Is there a need for the tool if I do it this way?

Anyone here know what a stall converter is/was in an automatic transmission?
Old school launch control
Lets you rev up so you can launch higher I think. But automatics are evil and a thing to be swapped into the scrap pile!
Not all automatics.....I had a turbo 400 with a manual shift valve body and a torque converter from a Vega and man did that thing shift. Sideways shifting into second at 60.

Plans have changed. I am taking my M30 and 5 speed out of my 533 and running the seta this winter. I figure it will be plug and play since the pedals are in it and the car had a M30. I plan on bringing this car to the party next month
