I am also putting the Carl spring/bilstein set up on mine. I wish I had a picture of my wife last evening when she opened the oven door to find a painted strut tube curing in there!
Love the Xmas tree pic.

We garage dwellers see nothing wrong with that Steve, I did the same with freshly sprayed La Jolla camber plates, she's determined that the oven is ruined. I think it's a ploy. BTW, speaking of La Jolla, they told me no oil in the strut housing like the shop manual states....will blow the Bilsteins out at the bottom. I was minutes away from doing just that when they gently corrected me. FYI...
I figured something was wrong when I put oil in the tube and the insert wouldnt seat in the tube so I poured it all out so there is only a miniscule amount coating the tube - might make it easier when an alien finds my car in AD2111 and wants to put a new one in there.
Is that a wire brush in her hand? You have raised a fine child.
I washed MY E36 Forged wheels in the bathtub once, but what you describe would be a death sentence for me.

Thank you, and yes it's a wire brush. She even asked brass or stainless bristles, AND really wanted to know what the green dots were on the spring...sigh..

A dishwasher is great for cleaning pistons and the cylinderhead when you rebuild your engine. I used the oven to dry everything after washing. I also made sure that everything was cleaned up before my wife got home.

What kind of detergent did you use?
Steve,
I would've thought that the first clue you're wife noticed was at the driveway from the wafting paint fumes, much less when she hit the door and eyes were watering. That's what exhaust fans are for!
If there's a correlation between her tolerance, holiday gifts, and discretionary coupe spending; it might have a bearing this time of year.
Just a thought though.

I think I used to fly with that captain in your avatar. Gear up, flaps up, eyelids down.

Usually don't like to post pics like that, but we're literally less than ten minutes out of LaGuardia...:roll:
