M Tech I really is the high life. I'm gonna make one of your shots my background.

That looks awesome. I'm in the process of building Delphin MT1 car. Just got it back from the body shop and just need to find the time to install the bumpers, skirts, and other goodies. S52 block is going to the machine shop on Friday to get bored out for some custom MM pistons.

The only thing that concerns me is drilling the side skirt mounting holes. Did you make a template or do you have any advice?

Don't drill-use 3M trim tape. It's the only way to go.

Here's a good thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...=skirt+install

Interior Progress

I only get to work on this car about 6 hours a week, but I made progress on the interior today. Fit the Recaro SRDs and M3 rear seat. Using Janderson's adapters with stock sliders for passenger and the bmw mounts from the sport evo for the driver seat. I have had srd's covered in leather locally before, but I purchased these seats completed from jeanm3. The color is a creamy beige that is actually a bmw color, but not E30 leather. It is a little lighter than pearl beige. I'm having a local upholstery shop cover my door cards in a vinyl that matches the seat leather color and grain perfectly. Will use the BMW Individual pattern for the cards.

Here is a teaser:

Nice bump ;)

Here she is today. Still my daily driver...although I will admit my commute is less than 2 miles and I leave it home when the roads have snow or salt on them. Not much has changed since I completed the build. Just typical maintenance and repairs.
