A year ago, I've bought this...

Wow great job! Was this a barn find? That’s some restore work you did!

This was an aution car.. the car was in very bad conditions, but no rust and accident free too.

Wow, I thought my starting point was bad.

Beautiful work.

I found some m5 style 5 wheels.. 16x7.5 et20

Now, on BBS RS!

Great rescue man. I hope there's other m3's like that waiting to be found.

I'm sure there's a safer way to recycle the old gas, but hey it came from the ground at some point.

very nice!

[federal]

Also, I went from this...



To this..

[federal]

Some pictueres with the new wheels

[federal]

Thanks buddy..

The wheels came back from the shop.. I really like the way they look now. Also, the redrill was very well made!







Now, I'm getting some tires.. What size do you guys recommend?

[steve68]

Nice save! great info too, I need a front bumper for my car its there but ugly!

[federal]

I'm back.. And got some news!
I scored a set of BBS RG059. They are 17x7.5 et30 5x114.

They were on a Toyota Camry





I took of the tires and gave them a wash..



I'm gonna redrill to 5x120 and then take the wheels to rhe refinish shop!

That's the way they should look like after refinish..

nice!

Love the build and the seats will look great once they are recovered in interior matching material. As someone who owns an ITR, the seats are great but the boy-racer red is the stumbling point in your beautiful M3.

Amazing considering it looked like someone was murdered inside it and then submerged in sea-water. You did an amazing job.

How long did it take and under what circumstances did you find it?

Lol... thanks! It took me a year to take the car out of the mechanic. And the big issue was the cost of M3 parts!
But I'm always spending some money on the car... recently I bought a set of silicone hoses kit from Mishimoto (great kit!). I'll take a pic of my engine bay soon...
