Not unless I flat bed it there [emoji16]
Looks like engine build is going to be toward end of year. Spreading out expenses and such.
More plating action

I make it to Ashville a good bit. This car will definitely be there at some point. May 2018 seems like a good objective.Comment

Thanks. No Pukar doesnt sell the VIN tags. The company is called ECS VIN. They say they are the only factory authorized VIN reproduction company (presumably in the U.S., but not sure). The tags they made me are great. I had to turn a set of comments to them first to get them perfect though. PM me if you place an order and I can send you the powerpoint deck (not joking) that i sent them with corrections to their first try, so that they do it right for you the first time around. http://www.ecsvin.com/Comment

Correct. You might be able to strip down the new versions and replate them. Counterproductive since the new coating is more resilient, but yellow is better for originality.
At least we dont have to deal with any of those awful aluminum bolts on e30s. Those things are everywhere on my e90 and they snap easier than a safe space snowflake college studentComment

At the detailer for engine bay coating. I guess it's in good company.

Also more shiny

I want to replicate this sticker. Too bad I peeled off the one on the other side years ago. Anyone have one still on their car?

Painting these windows is going to be tough. Looks like they're glued or stuck together with adhesive tape. Leaning toward taping off the glass and painting the trim in place


As you can see, the old trim is faded compared to the repainted pieces

The M3 is probably worth the cost of the service on the F40 alone!Comment
