Its just always such a battle between driving it and working on it. As frustrating as working on it can be, the truth is I love doing both.

Dude your in car paradise right now, live it up. Love to build it, love to drive, then love to break it and fix it. Your doing awesome work, keep it up!

loving the flares, keep this shit up mike. good work!!!

looks very nice mike.

I’m leaning towards the dzus fasteners and also the aerocatch pins on my car as well

Finally got the rear quarter panels fixed up. It turns out the gas line on the welder I was using was busted which is why I wasn’t able to get good welds before. I guess I’ll just show the good side for now:

i love this project! i want a set of those wheels for my car, they look awesome.

How do you like the digital gauges? I am looking at some too.

they’re great. no guesswork. wiring is a bit of work but I figure it can’t be worse than mechanical or analog gauges.

not bolted on yet (which is why its crooked)

still needs a little bit more sanding, primer, sanding, then finally can hit it up with the black and get the new lip for it.

just layed down a bit of primer on the bumper to check over the body work.

Still need to clean up the edges a bit and cut the bottom for IC clearance. then I can sand it one last time and lay down the color.

looks good! how long has this been off the road again?

too long… but now I have 4 cars that I own and can’t drive. I’m working on selling all but this one so I can finish it.

M3 race car
RS no motor
RS boosted STI motor

holy SHIT you still have the M3??!?!?!? i hate to ask what you’re asking for it now :frowning:

taking offers at this point. No one has even asked to come take a look at it to be honest.
