    Took this one before I put the new Roundels on, and before I finished trimming out the windows, AND before I got the lower grill installed... but anyway, still thought it might be fun to show. I have ordered new lower window seals, new rear window seals, door handles, Roundels, windshield cowl, interior mirror covers, and a few more items. That should all be here tuesday.

    We spent a good 5 hours buffing last night. The result is fantastic! I have found a few spots that still need touched up, and I need to detail it to remove all the compound, but it's looking good.






    I also converted it over to studs and lug nuts... 80mm studs to give me plenty of room for spacers and neochrome lug nuts. Those stupid BMW lug studs drive me insane, and I ALWAYS end up dropping one while trying to balance the wheel and insert the stud bolt and scratching the wheel.





    I'm talking with a couple buddies... we are trying to organize a photoshoot soon. My photography skills are seriously lacking.

    Sorry for the lack of updates! We've been busy at work though. I'll be taking a few photo's tomorrow, and completing the re-trim of the car, but for tonight... here's a quick shot of her back home in the garage.

    Fresh paint should come with a force field that deflects rocks and dick slaps those that would leave parking lot destruction behind. I mean literally a visible field of energy would take the shape of a Wang and pummel assholes that are reckless with their doors.

    From the vehicles shown in your sig, I'd have to say YOU are boss! But thank you, im dying to have it reassembled. Then again i'm terrified to drive it too. That first rock chip is going to have me spitting and cussing for sure.

    Thanks man! Im not sure if I should just update this thread when its done, start a new one in the showroom, or both. I've got a few buddies who want to do up a photoshoot, so we'll see.

    Dude, you can do it. I've never done bodywork before in my life. I live in an HOA community. It was my daily driver, and its taken me 6 months... if I can do it, anyone can.

    I found it difficult to find an OEM bumper. When I did, the owner was unwilling to ship. So I opted for the DDM Bumper. It fits perfectly! Its the only non-um piece on the car, and you'd never know.
