You can stop by the shop anytime and check it out, since you're right across the river... my shop is in Hummelstown.

This project is so epic it drew you out of hiding huh


Looks awesome, love the clean work going into it

I am interested to see how the M60 works out. Those fenders look like a ton of work to get fitted right.

This is relevant to my interests. Sub'd

Thanks everybody, I kind of thought this forum would dig the project... I joined r3v last June, but they never activated my account, so I couldn't post anything until this week. That sucked... but, it's posted now, so we'll just move forward. For those Ohio people and especially mtechrisII, I grew up in Bexley and now live in Pennsylvania. There are some crazy BMW people/builds coming from Pa, so it's a good place to be, Lol! Never thought I'd run into a Bexley alumnus on r3v, but hey, that's pretty damn cool. I won't have anything new until Sunday to show, but I should get a full day in on it then, so stay tuned... can't wait to start the cage...

Great work so far. Can't wait to see more of your craftsmanship.

Ha... look at your info, I grew up in Bexley! Small world...

The rear quarter panels were $400 a piece, the fronts were $230 a piece, trunks go for $200 and up, bumpers $350 and up each, skirts $250 and up a pair, rear wings $200 and up. The sail panel/rear window frame is the holy grail of M3 parts, though. Finding just that part is becoming impossible... you almost have to buy a wrecked shell, nowadays. That's what I had to do, anyways...

Yep it took us a long time to find a wrecked m3 to take of the saill/rear window panel for our project car! We also did the exactnthing with the roof skin from a 318! Its allot of work!

Looks really nice!!!!!!

Yes, it took me about 8 months to find the wrecked M3 shell for my rear end parts. Sad way for an M3 to die, but part of it still lives on! Speaking of wrecked M3s, a customer of mine dropped his off(actually, the rollback brought it)today, all banged up. It's not an E30, but a 95 E36 M3, in Dakar... he drove it into a ditch in the foul weather we had here this week. Bent the right wishbone into a U, basically tore up the whole front end... and it still has a temporary tag in the rear window... Ouch! I'll get it fixed up, though...
