YoungCR Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Finally getting around to my update from Saturday. So to make sure I had the core support lined up in the right spot I mocked up the front end by attaching the fenders to the body and then attaching the core support to the fenders. I had a little bit more cutting to do and turns out I trimmed out too much on the drivers side. Since none of this is structural and the only purpose of the core support is to hold the radiator in place along with the headlights, strength is not needed. Done the road this body work will be taken care of properly but for now its minimal effort where needed to get this on the road. Driver's Side Passenger Side Passenger side Seam between the frame and core support matching up perfectly This is with the hood mocked up. She looks like a car again!

YoungCR Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Where does one find euro e28 headlights I really want them on my e28 I've seen sets of grills and headlights going for $250 on ebay pretty consistently, although I'll see if I can get some shipped over cheaper. Cool, I offered the PO $500 for that car 5 years ago. At the time it was down near UWM. Glad to see you bringing it back to life. Basically what I paid for the car minus the interior and rare euro parts That can all be replaced though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
