    The start of a new look

    well, today was the first day of plenty that I will be spending with my M3. I am tearing it apart, and it is going to get a full respray. I am not going to say what color it will be till a later time-= but it is a BMW color, unlike whats on it now. The pics from today really SUK, but I will get better ones in the very near future. I plan on really taking a billion pics of the process, and will post them every once in a while here.
    so on to the crappy pics.

    arriving at the home of my M3- a buddys barn that I rent- the eta race machine is now my new truck to bring crap back and forth. unfortunately the barn is about a 30 min. drive from my house.


    huh, whats behind door number 1?


    so there it is, in my not so clean and orderly garage. Dave???? (j/k)- i did get a lot straighted out after the pic, gonna need a bit of room. I spy some of the parts of red rocket!!, a few M42s and even a M50 layin around.


    an ass shot before the massacre begins. How many of you have carpet for your cars?


    easy exit


    a few more things missing.


    even pulled some of the front apart too. A friend showed up, so he started taking the front apart while i took apart the rear.


    rockin a e60 17" snow tire. the offset is actually really nice, just the center bore is a tad to small.


    even emptied out the doors.

        I always thought it would be cool to go exploring and find a really old barn (not point intended), open it and see a car that has only a couple miles on it and be just sitting there.
        Kinda what you did but you already knew it was there so its not as exciting haha. Good luck with the rebuild!

                    You may want to invest in a tripod if you are planning on taking a lot of pictures of this project. Blur-ey! :D

                    Sounds like a fun project. I have always loved your M3 and can't wait to see how it turns out.

                      Mike , your paint has always appeared flawless in the pics you post up .

                      Are you getting it painted purely to change the color ?


                      Oh and nice barn layout .
