    BOOST OR BUST | Matt Russell's Turbo M Tech II



    Had a chance to take some snaps of my Matt's car a while back. Never had the chance to share them, so here they are. There are few words to explain the sheer presence this car has in person. I tried my best to capture the Cosmos Schwarz paint, C&C appreciated. I've also had the opportunity to drive this car, and although I can't share that experience through the computer screen, I can tell you that it makes me want to boost my M20 every single time I do.







    Amazing piece of machinery that Matt has built over the course of nearly a decade. They say cars are extensions of one self, having sold the car in 2006 he described what felt like a part of him was missing in the time frame the car was owned by someone else. He purchased the car back from the new owner from the east coast, had it shipped back home, and completed the unfinished project that he had once let go.





    Here it is in all its glory, and although he still has yet to finish his MTech interior and install a few other goodies, the car speaks for itself. Since then, he has installed 17" Hartge three piece wheels, which calls for a new shoot that will be shared on the Garage Welt site soon!

      Very nice throwback.

              Back when we shot this set he didn't have it yet. But when we do the next set with the new wheels we won't miss the cluster! Love your work btw, would love a custom GW cluster for our white M3!
