The Alpina, as it appeared in European Car magazine (1991).  I purchased the car in 2002 and have not altered in any way.  I finally decided to embark on a complete paint job and refurbishment of some of the items for aesthetic reasons.  My goal is to retain that vintage look and maintain its originality - which I define as the way it look back in 2002.

Process starts in Jan. 2007.  First the easy stuff, a couple of minor dents on the hood.

All (4) Campignolo wheels plus two spares were sanded, primered and refinished with a vintage gray metallic, semi gloss clear.  A wheel is shown with polished lip - an experiment that didn't quite work out.

New OEM spare tire panel.  Original panel showed its age with several pin holes and cracks.
