Never realized how much work a total restoration on a modern car.

evdok · 12-24-2016, 06:10 AM

Love the colour.

buddalun · 12-24-2016, 12:04 PM

Incredible work and dedication.

sygazelle · 12-24-2016, 12:21 PM

I bought an E28 new back in 1988, drove it for 150,000 miles and then passed it on to my son who put another 100k+ miles on it. Loved that car. Even with only 125 hp, it was a blast to drive.

Its great that people are restoring these beautiful examples of BMW yesteryear.

Is that a 6 figure restoration?

ando · 12-24-2016, 05:15 PM

Amazing work. I'll take one for Christmas

Fundguy1 · 12-24-2016, 05:23 PM

Cool car but 58 minutes?

Looks like you have a dedicated crew helping you out with the build!?
Lucky you.
From your pictures the car looks glorious and well deserving of the trophies.

Congrats on saving another clean, straight chassis!

I can now officially say that I have watched an hour long PowerPoint presentation while listening to the same song for an entire hour.

In all seriousness, the car looks simply stunning! Love the look of the color. What is the name of it/color code?

He did this mainly by himself in his own garage.

Here's the original build thread. It's in Norwegian, but I've linked it through Google Translate.

A lot of work but an amazing final result!

@ 52:04 what exactly is he doing to the car?

Needbmwpartzz · 12-25-2016, 04:27 PM

That's one beautiful machine....I wonder how many man hours went into this restoration...and money.

Congrats on the build. Love the colour, lover the look of the car!

ohhh AMAZING car!

raysspl · 12-27-2016, 02:29 PM

Simply beautiful

buzzard · 12-29-2016, 02:02 PM

Beautiful car. Doesn't look like it started out as an Alpina. Is this a replica? Red subframe and suspension? Was that really OEM?
