Just plugging away on the E28. When I bought this car there was evidence of past episodes of a wet trunk. My big concern was did the sound deadener trap water and rust out the trunk floor? Only one way to find out; I pried up all the factory material - it's this weird super-dense asphalt stuff that weighed 50 pounds (seriously, I weighed it). To my relief, the floor is solid. I made some minor repairs, wire-brushed what little surface rust there was and put down a layer of POR15 (just in case). Today I finally had a sunny enough free day to cut and stick the fake dynamat.
Scrubbed the carpet pieces and they're hanging on a clothesline in the sun.
I don't know when or if this car will ever be done, but I enjoy making slow progress on something built this well and big enough for me to crawl around in.
edit - the seat bulkhead is heavily padded inside the cabin, but I had those two "L" shaped pieces left in the scraps and I just couldn't help myself.
