    Damn did the car even need to be painted? Sure looked pretty damn good from what youve posted up previously.

      I'm only going to give teasers/hints of what was done exterior wise. Interior will be revealed later when its all back together. Nothing extravagant... but worthwhile.

      Fielding, it didn't "need" to be repainted as per'se... but I'm a bit OCD, and this car is worth being a bit retentive about.

      Below the radar...

          :zzz:

          You're posting, UNCLE, but I'm not reading. :mrgreen:

          Let me guess. M3 seats with leopard spandex in the center, trimmed out with burgandy alligator on the bolsters. Amirite?

          Here's my serious guess. $650 worth of anthrazit carpeting.

            Car already has the right carpet. ;)

            It was actually non-sport 318 seats, with velouer bolsters and gucci knock off fabric for the centers and white aligator outter bolsters.

                              What type of paint did you use?

                              I also had full use of our own body shop.
