[SpecM]

can I have your stock m3 front springs?

Hmm....maybe I should have sold my Superleggeras to you instead. Good luck yo.

Any updates?

i should know more tonight. Work has been crazy this week so i have had no time to even look at the car.

that looks like a fun car..what wheels are you going to run ?

it is sitting on some pretty gangster CHROME contours right now. Just had them laying around so i might paint them a random color for fun while i am working on it.

I am thinking about grabbing another set of style 5's...1 piece, or the 2 piece 17's i am not sure. They are kind of overdone though imo.

anybody got suggestions? i always wanted to mount a set of OZ superleggera's up just to see what they looked like.

Curious as to why you just didnt have it painted when it was a shell? Still a sweet project.

would have been the best way to do it, but i time was really a factor. needed to find out if the drivetrain was all in working order.

Get on it son! :)

its getting there...suspension is getting buttoned up tonight. Also going to get the driveline and diff bolted in.

i want some more pictures!!!!

i will post some tonight of the suspension etc. The car isn't much to look at right now. any pic requests?

Cool project. Is it flat black, or is the paint just hammered? I think you should do it King of the Mountain style....all business.

the paint is really hammered. it was a bad respray over silver. The car Is really straight though so thats a plus. i grinded all the extra tabs and brackets and then just sprayed the engine bay with semi gloss. I wasn't too worried about it being perfect, but it looks decent.

like i said before this car isn't ever going to be a perfect show car...It will be a car that i can drive like it was intended to be driven without being scared of pulling it out of the garage. That being said, it doesn't mean it won't look Amazing when its done!
