Just wanted to share some photos....








Some parts from the paintshop






First assembly was the covers on the C-pillar..












Nice? Finally we are on the right track here...



Just needed to see how the rear lights looked on the car







Hood covers









Hushmat to reduce noise








Remember the infamous "spoooiinnngg" sound when you are shutting the doors on the E28? Here is the sinner:





In position.





I just used a shrink tube.






Mounted







New clips






Broken door lock





just a few more shots...












There will be more soon...

Had a couple of pics also that I wanted to share.. It suddenly started to rain a couple of days ago, so here we go:






Auch, so much water....






The kids' playground was all of a sudden a swimmingpool..







One not too happy Beemer with all this water....







And here is one even less happy....






15 cm (6 inches) of dirtwater flooding my garage......

Got everything dried out, and wanted to save the drowning window motor





Still pouring some water





Dismantled:








Flushed the gearbox, was alot of dirt in there





Motor in pieces





A little heat earlier?





With some loving hands, it looks better now





More dirt:






As good as new





Assembled again





Pay attention during assembling to the rotating bearing, as seen here in the hole





All lubricated






With a good help from my buddies:





Adjusting the window by using the screw in the center of the pic





Lines up like this






Alot of small details...





I almost forgot this little fellow





New seals around the hinges





New screws (before - after)








More details:





With this as a result











Did the same with the rear door, but no need to double up the pics, right?





More pics:












Just a crappy photoshoot:












Ready for the next side





Thats it for today


So here it is, how it looks like right now...
