awesome work Jean.

I think I missed it, whats the plan for the exhaust tip(s)?

Yeah Jean does all the work, yeah that's it.

I'll be making a custom tip for it when Jean get's me some stainless, don't worry he'll do what he does best and take pictures.:D

Need a few more cans of SEM to strip the old paint, waiting for some parts from blunt to mount them and they'll be on.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Nice. Skirts, when?

[Jean]

Alright, one step closer to being done. Replaced the stock a/c fan with a spal pusher fan, and replaced an old fuel hose under the car as I was starting to smell fuel.

Spal fan, nice and quiet at half speed and moves LOTS of air on full speed and still quiter than the stock a/c fan.


Mounting the fogs to the valance


And the rest of the trim


Front is on, came out pretty good for a first time doing prep work. Big thanks to Pinepig for shooting the paint/clear!

George - I f-ing wish! lol

I'm impressed with your work. The car is really starting to come along!

And to think it's all being funded from the court winnings from that guy who hit your car with his bike. Man, you must have really taken them to the cleaners.

It's a learning process, but as I was telling Charlie (pinepig) I have newfound respect for high quality body/paint work. Prep work is not easy..... and I probably could have done more sanding etc...but I had to call it "good enough" and let him spray paint.

I hear that, bud. The most intensive part of bodywork/painting is the prep. You could easily drain a 40 hour work week into just the valances. I'd have ended with wet sanding on 600 grit, but honestly, both pieces look fantastic! Can't wait to see it all put together with that mean m30 lurking behind the 318i badge ;)
