Well my car passed inspection over a month ago and I was told about a spot of surface rust. Today I crawled under to see the spot and to fix it before it rotted through the floor. It was already to late. So the seats, center console and carpet came out. I used a wire wheel to clean the rust away to see how big the holes were. After that the rust was cut out, and new metal welded in place. It got 2 coats of paint and a few coats of bed liner to protect it. Also cleaned the carpet with a hot water extractor, it was a lot worse then I thought it was.

I finally replaced my sunroof headliner panel. I tore the old one when I installed it after painting was done, so its been way to long. I also bought the final pin(?) to hold up the knee panel under the steering wheel.
Out with the old torn one.
In with the not torn one. Still needs a little cleaning but it is way better then it was.
Just need to clean it up for the meet this coming Wednesday at a local Sonic and a meet this coming Saturday, 14th at BimmerBuddies.

Wrapped the faces of my rims with Arlon copper chrome vinyl. Then I repolished my front/rear bumpers and window trim. I decided to strip all the protectants off using ChemicalGuys clean slate soap, then put on a layer of Jet seal. All my scratches and swirls went away from stripping all the other crap I have pilled on over the last year.

Decided to mess around with light painting. First one is in my garage, I was getting the hang of it and it was also 1pm so not night time outside. The other 3 were from 5:40pm to 6:10pm.

Winter looks to be finally over. I went to pull my car out of the over winter trailer and found a huge area of transmission oil under it. Over winter with how the car was parked and the age of the oil pan gasket, it leaked out around 1 quart. So I drained the pan, removed and replaced the pan gasket, filter and filter o-ring. As I removed the 6 pan bolts, I found that 2 of them were almost loose and the drain plug was also loose. I got around 5.5 quarts out and put in about 6.5 quarts. It does drive better then I remember and also downshifts as I slow down like it did years ago.
The magnets have almost no metal shavings on them. The fluid is pretty dark and definitely needed changed.

A guy about 1 hour south west of my wanted to take photos of cars with his new camera setup so I offered my car and he said yes. So I spent around 6 hours detailing/cleaning it up for the photoshoot, my first one ever.
