E28 Alpina Build - by Pedi

5 minute(s) of a 211 minute read

Due to that I am in the "final" stage in assembly now, there are so many small and not visible things that do not show. So therefore I have no assembly-photos today. The only pic I got is a pic of the rear where I applied some Tec-7 to ensure that no dirt can come between rear panel and the M-lists.. Boring picture, I know....






Yayy!!!



But something nice did I need to do, so I decided to do something most-wanted for a long time now:







Dyslectic-Pedi?



Not quite...



Not quite happy with this pic either, but it shows me on the day Alpina-stickers finally can see the daylight again....







The adhesive sticker was total crap, I had no problem understanding that - my guess is that this sticker is 25 years old. So I had to add glue...







NOW it is time to smile








The other side...








a couple more:










Tried to do some camera-stunts, but neither of me nor the camera was qualified for this kinda stunts....







That you for your attention!



Oh.... I got this photo that a friend took with his phone, so I can add that one too:

Saturday was yesterday, and I got a friend over for a nice visit. He is able to do something that I can not. Grinding and repolishing the paintwork.... Pictures do not do justice, sorry!






Half of the roof is grinded with 1500-paper, to take the "tops" in the structure of the paint...



First a round with 1500 paper, then 2000 and 4000-paper in the end.






I guess he used 3 hours on just the roof...


Hood:






Work in progress:







Just some pics...











Roof










Hmmm.....









No comments:







Now hood is done too... Picture taken with blitz..






Trunk, C-pillars and sides are remaining to another day. 6 hours just for roof/hood is enough for one day
