Do something about the collapsing side of the drivers seat, c hange the rubber shifter boot, remove the seat covers and clean the interior, and get that fucking tow hitch off. The tow hitch is still on. I think it’s sawzall time.

Not fancy...but it works for now

Also, my friend gave me his Nardi he hasn’t been using for a few years to use for a while. Just need a hub, since it’s on a hub for an E34.

Bonus: It has Bilsteins in the back. Also both boots on the left axle are torn. Yay.

Nice looking E28 up on BAT right now... bid is still under $1000. I want it but in no way need it.

Please talk me out of bidding on it.

That is a good body. Shame about the shape of the front seats, cardinal red leather is the best on these. It’s not a bad price if you have a donor drivetrain, or don’t mind buying another car with a better drivetrain to be a donor.

They are fun toys...and now are nearly as portable as battery powered angle grinders.

Why do you want the hitch gone?  It just bugs you aesthetically? I’d think it’d be nice to have just in case.

It’s mounted in a way I don’t trust, and I can’t even get the hitch out of the receiver it’s so rusted. I might leave it if I could get the hitch itself out, but I’ll never use it, I’ll just bang my shins on it or punch someone’s bumper with it. The Raider also has a hitch if I ever need to tow something.

Yeah, I’ve got a low miles M52TUB20 from an E46 we swapped, so the premise was to buy this, use it as a shell, and put the modern motor in it.

But I need another project like I need another hole in my head.

I don’t know if theyr e any good but a while ago I noticed rockauto has some stupidly cheap axles for the e28 like under 50$.

Perfect opportunity for a manual swap of course. If only that wasn’t a really major undertaking
