The bronzit Bomber

[atle36m3]

Win! for another bronzit repaint.

I will finally get mine back from paint after too too long.

Ill have new pics up next week. My body guy took out over 120 dings and small and medium dents. The car looks like the day it came from the factory.

+1 on the euro bumper trim...

Wohoo! Clean bronzits are rare, I think they look pretty good. Any plans for the motor?

Awesome, Can't wait to see the final product. Keep us updated!

At least i don't need to compensate for anything.

Your fascination with my genitalia is somewhat understandable, but still creepy.

Yeah well my repaint was suppose to take two weeks its rounding on 6. The guy who is doing it, has found more and more problems he wanted to smooth out. But i don't care because we agreed on a set price for the whole thing.

As for this summer no. The restoration sucked a lot of money out of me. But next summer probably rebuild turbo or something.

Funny how that always happens...

mine was in for 3 weeks the first round (had to get it back for vintage at the vineyards). Then it went back in for almost 5 weeks to fix the little spots they screwed up rushing to get it done the first go around.

I had to bite my tongue since i was getting the friends and family deal.

patience is really a virtue when dealing with body guys!

I have been stuck driving my m3 for like 8 weeks :(

good choice!

I think the name "bronzit bomber" has been taken. The original probably doesn't care since his car is sold, but the label has been used before.

4 Hours to properly adjust coilovers? Lay off the heroin, crack, meth, and jenkem dude.

Oh wayt, I guess it would take that long for tuning in a wind tunnel.

Four hours is a little high, but it's not an easy process, especially without scales. When you're trying to balance front/rear grip on a powerful e30 it takes a few tries to get it right. There are times when I'd rather just live with what H&R tells me to live with, but fortunately I have access to some highly knowledgeable chaps so I can live with what they tell me to live with instead. :-) For a daily though, I'd never recommend coilovers to a customer, even though I'd be making money on labor every time they came in for setup.
