    Non-Member Ride

    JParker recently polished this beauty. I have a couple more pics, but none are all that great. This paint was severely orange peeled, more like grapefruit peeled.



    JParker wetsanded the hell out of it then polished and waxed. MAJOR improvement, absolutely amazing.

    I pulled all the debris from a "big" stereo, installed by idiots...then unhacked the wiring, and returned the audio/wiring to original. The rear pillars had been upholstered, and a big hole chopped in the rear deck..I am sure it was "really cool" to someone.

    Reupholstered the rear deck he brought as replacement, then put together decent front and rear premium sound speakers:



    So happy with the outcome!

    Here is a shot of the shitty orange peel:



    Here is after the 13 hours of solid work:


    Such nice gloss that the camera would not focus, so thus the wash mitt.

    The owner was just thrilled with the final outcome...Great job, John!

    Damn that's a lot of work. Came out great though. Maybe the same idiot wired all my stuff in.

        His stance is weird, his taste is impeccable. Does he DD that car? Looks like a major improvement!

              Looks amazing, it sounds like quite a bit of work went into it.

              The interior looks minty as well.

                So it isn't just me that thinks the stance was off?

                All bone stock, on E38 (?) wheels, I think he said he wants spacers. Offset would help a bunch.

                This is basically his DD/beater....(don't I feel like a piece of crap now) he has a NICE red one at home.

                This thing was a buttload of work. So much wiring was just hacked, and for no damn reason. The paint was the same way...got a run? Spray more on top of it!

                Message is: Don't hack on an M3.

                Thanks for the comments, guys.
