never start your car in gear while stiking your body through the passenger side :rofl:

Nice. I have been wanting to do that to my floor badly. Which product did you use, and what did you do to clean the cement? Just power wash it?

sorry to hear about your wrecked E30, good luck with this one. Judging by the shape of your garage, the car will be a looker too :)

i thought about it...surprisingly it only took me about a half hour to calm her down. my dad didnt care he loves my cars they're like toys to us.

1 tandem coming up! this build should be quick specially in summer time.

black and red e30's are my favorite we'll see where this goes...i'll start by getting plastic bumpers!

Yes, details please.

rented a concrete grinder for $125. This removed like 3 coats of paints and shaved the very top layer of the concrete. its a really dusty process, once said and done i had 3 dust bags weighting roughly 35-40lbs each!! ~ 6hrs. Removed any exess paint with paint stripper (ie corners etc)

Once cleaned and hosed off (no pressure cleaning) i applied an acid to etch the floor. really cool ~ once dry i applied paint as per these instructions:

Armorclad epoxy paint instructions:

http://www.armorcladepoxy.com/ArmorcladInstructions.html

expensive, but the paint coat is very thick (only applied 1) i already tested the coat and its going to hold up unlike that Behr epoxy paint i had that flaked.

oh forgot to add...this paint takes 5days to cure.

[bimmer_E30]

if u can i will buy it.
