Paint is coming along. Only the driver side front fender and firewall to go. Then on to the roof and interior.

Well Im glad BB went to a good home!! And from the looks of it you have some great ideas on finishing her up and making it nice!!

 

[Mrk1]

this is what she looks like now, still undecided on a roof color. I can never make up my mind

Im glad to see you kept the bottle opener!!

Im glad to see you kept the bottle opener!!

That's the trucks character, or yours, kinda one and the same. The 8 ball transfer case knob is still there as well. I plan to keep as many of the stickers as I can. May need to get a hold of a new Explore NH for the back. Im also going to leave the galvanized trim the way it is.

[Mrk1]

[greatdivide91]

Soo hows it coming?

 

[Mrk1]

Slow, the subi needs a bunch of work so its sucking funds. Really would like to be making progress on it. Driving my M3 in the winter isn't cool.

 

[killahaas@gmail.com]

what kind of M3 do you have?

 

[greatdivide91]

Whats up with the subie?? You know that im a subie master tech. Let me know if ya need and help or info.

 

[Mrk1]

Its an E46 M3 with 265 tires all the way around.

My subi has been trying to run with full blast fuel pressure, it keeps popping lines off or find places to spring leaks. Talking to some shops I've found that the 08 sti fuel pressure/damper setup doesn't go well when paired with larger pumps and injectors. So I am installing an Aeromotive adjustable regulator and some 2007 sti dampers. Also going to change the trim of the turbo, chasing some odd behavior in the 2-4k rev range. A speed density tune is also in the works.

Put the roof on, got sick of walking around it on the floor. Also some of the lights in. Not amazing progress. The top will end up being painted at some point, seeing it like this makes me like the white on white. I need to get my hands on some new hinges for the rear door then that can go on.
