I am not really partial to edging between fenders and flares. It looks goofy.

I prefer exposed rivets...

Would you be allowed to drive it? I mean, something that pristine most people would be scared to drive.

Yeah, that looks almost too good to drive.

I'd drive it to car shows, cruise nights, and such. It's really clean, but I couldn't keep it in the garage. I'd keep it as clean as possible though.

+1. Tim, that sounds like a comment on BAT, not GRM. I don't understand too nice to drive....it is a car. There is no too nice to drive, but there is too nice to not drive.

Well, it would be annoying to have stone chips and all that. I know it would annoy me.

OTOH I like Jay Leno's idea of making it a 100 point resto, then drive it down to 80...

was just looking at it again. That colour red could support chrome very well. I would not have shot the rear bumper and gas cap body coloured.

I for one, 100% disagree with you, I love the blacked out theme, dechromed FTW

Kind of, but food rots pretty fast.

it is. I had my Ti off the road for the winter. Engine mounts turned to mush and the glovebox took weeks to stop falling open when hitting bad bumps.

The waterpump died a month after getting the car back on the road too

my e28 got 10x worse just from sitting a month or so when I had a concussion and wasn't allowed to drive. and it attracted ants. lol.
Therm went out almost immediately after I started driving again, trans mounts went to hell, etc etc ad infinitum. I miss it though

My e28's been sitting for months . Starts up first twist of the key, though. Still, I'd better take it for a drive!
