The 5 Year Restoration - E30 M3 Reborn

[M-technik-3]

At that point prices will hit ludicrious speed and insurance well on on dry days and 25 mile limits. Hope that is not coming.

Digging the race deck. Was debating getting some but I have two buildings that would need it so I am thinking epoxy.



Nice updates, think it will be done before the end of summer. Hope it does not become a garage queen and you don't get to enjoy it.

Thanks. I looked at epoxy too but was afraid of hot tire pickup on the DIY kits and a pro job was as much as the race deck. Plus if I move I can take race deck with me.

I wouldn't hold out for end of summer completion. Not planning to rebuild the engine until early 2017. Spreading out the expenses.

$29 each for the small tags. Bigger ones were more. Vacuum Routing diagram was $80 and yes they did the swirl cuts just like the original has. Larger ones are generally more expensive. Worth it to preserve originality, and therefore the car's value though.

Nice thing is they have a satisfaction guarantee. I marked up their first batch using PowerPoint and text boxes to direct changes and they remade for free.

Ballpark cost for the VIN labels?
Did they do the swirl cuts in the emissions one?
What documentation did they need to start the process?

I've got a collection of stickers already, but there is a -tiny- typo on one of them, and I didn't get any of the body panel or door jamb VINs.
(Actually, it might be fun to use my typo sticker and just see how many people spot it)

Man, your car is looking good! Can't wait to see it start reassembly.

Ha! Hey at least it's an appreciating asset. My wife calls my car the "Mistress" - guess she just got a new red dress

The process is very rewarding, and this didn't hurt either...

Thread should be labeled NSFW.

"If I'm not in a hurry and I have the room..." My M3 has been a garage queen for 10 years, so I'm obviously not in a hurry. As for the room, yeah, I've got that...except my wife insists on calling it a 'bed room'.

Thanks for pushing me down the slippery slope.

This is some serious inspiration! Can't wait to see it rolling again
