SURLY the Patina'd BMW E28 - Part 9 - Facial and Shoes

My E28 is on the ground and ready for the often previously neglected visual details. We build a bash bar support and brackets for the fiberglass euro bumper, and lose our fingernails polishing some... Pontiac wheels.

I love your cat.

Looks good

[@DoubbleAgent]

That’s the smartest thing I’ve seen! Awesome. Wheels look great!

[@alexmartinez280]

Love the spec on the wheels. Looks perfect

[@sparkeyjones6261]

That hood badge makes all the difference. First upgrade I did when I bought my e28 15 years ago. I think the car was actually faster with the new one.

Loved the "OEM" and I'm excited about the car's daybutt too...

[@Ciubaka]

Good content brother. What spring rates are on the GCs and how is the ride on those 16?

[@SamHurly]

Thanks man, running 430 front and 315lb rear, and at the height I have it it’s firm but not terribly shocking, though bump steer and heavy compression dont get treated super well. A lowered E28 crutch it seems, but regardless still very fun to drive.

Hey bro.. love the car man... what tire size you had on the pontiac wheels

[@SamHurly]

Thanks! 225/50r16

@@SamHurly ok kool... thanks.. I have two front and two rear...

[@freddierussell1190]

sweet video man. just a tip, youre running your welder too cold. tbh with MIG on steel as long as its got something of a bead its probably bonded but crank the heat up or the wire feed down and you should get a much nicer and stronger weld thjat looks more like a chamfer rather than a dome

[@SamHurly]

Appreciate the tip! This was my first or second time, and luckily felt like it wasnt going to be the highest stressed part- lots more practice to do before something a bit more serious. ✌🏼

[@thrty8street]

What type of wheels did you say those were?

[@SamHurly]

Theyre Pontiac GTA wheels, though just the et16 ones, as they normally come as a set with two et0 and two et16

[@bartoszkotowski8281]

I think you should have polished them before power coating

[@SamHurly]

I also think I shouldnt have allowed them to sandblast the lips but did. Could have been able to be less careful with keeping the powdercoat un-scratched but in the end wasn’t hard and was the same amount of work regardless of order- all good

What wheel stud are you running?

[@SamHurly]

Turner Motorsports

[@jaimediez7750]

@@SamHurly Thanks!, what length are they?

[@SamHurly]

@@jaimediez7750 I think the 90mm but not sure and my invoice doesnt list it, would have to measure- just ordered to have extra length for spacers!
