Sablage rapide pour enlever le chrome en surface pour que la peinture colle mieux

C'est tout pour aujourd'hui les amis! À la semaine prochaine

awesome work!

Good thing I speak French I must admit though, Canadian French sounds nothing like the one spoken here...

Seems like you devoted a lot of time on the car, keep it up...looking forward to seeing the final 'product'. I know nothing about car restoration...this provides some insight

Sweet! I love the blackness. Hurry up and post moooore.

Thanks guys!



Well, I don't know anything about car restoration either, this should be interesting!



As soon as I have time to work on my car I will!

Haha nice job Matt.

C'est quoi le forum francophone sur lequel tu te tient?

What do you plan to do with the car?
Your lisening to too much Rolling Stones btw

(Paint it Black. )

nice work, looks really good!

Je suis sur montrealracing.com (photoshopaddict).

I plan to mod the car to do lapping events and give a try at drifting at st-eu one night. I want to refresh the look of the car too, bbs wheels, 535is front valance, side skirts etc... It should look good!

btw, Rolling Stones? Why? I've never listen to any of their songs!




Thanks!

They have a song called "Paint it black"
Painting evrything black right now.
So I thought i'd make a little joke. Plus I was lisening to that song while reading your thread so.

Nice E28! Were you one of the Canadians that made it to 5er fest this year?

Loving the blackness - much better than the old chrome, well done!

I am inspired to do my own work on an oldskool Beamer..

I might get into it next year for my holidays.

J'aime bien le nouveau look noir mat pour remplacer le vieux chrome, par contre avec le gris de la voiture c'est peut-être pas du plus bel effet, une peinture complète noire ( ou rouge vin ) ferait un effet vraiment wow, avec des vitres teintées noires aussi. Mais bref ça c'est dans mes rêves

Belle job, à date

Wicked job, I absolutely love BMWs from that era...If I had a garage (stupid condominium!) I would be inspired to go find my own E28!

wow that's old!

Here's an update: dropped 2k$ of reparation on the car, so no update for a long time!

Shit, I didn't even realize this was a massive bump!

It wasn't you that bumped though, so don't worry. BarcaGaffer beat you to it.

Reparation?

the act of putting something in working order again

There's a similar car in my parents neighborhood. I saw it, and had to pull over to admire it. It's in beautiful shape,

So...what cost 2 grand?

amazing work dude , your car must be loving it...

New rear suspension links (pitman rear arm), tie-rod, drive shaft's center bearing, transmission link, new exhaust flange, new winter tires, new european batterie, all the smalls things like gasket, oil, etc... + hourly rate for the mechanic (70$/hr) = 1800ish$ = me no more money for anything...

Nothing fun . That's an old beemer for you .

Well it's kinda fun since the car is nice to drive now (no weird noise, doesn't pull to the right and rear subframe is stable) but no, no fun upgrade
