[nosmonkey]

Ok, more interior pictures needed of your M3's interior please.

Will have to take the covers off and get some photos of the wood as photos really don't do it justice

Colour starting to go down!

Black cloth, but it's either hard top or roof down!

Looking really good!

Colour is down, waiting for it to cure before final flatting and polish

 

[nosmonkey]

So after the bodyshop sending me photos last night I had to go look for myself. Really happy with how it's looking, sides look nice and sharp and the colour is stunning, cannot wait to see it in the sunlight

Embossing stamp done for the seats, will try it on a piece of scrap leather before committing just to see if it suits or not

 

[nosmonkey]

Engine bay re done as my painter is rather ocd and wasn't happy with it. Paint down on all panels, flat and polish will be done the next few days and should be ready for collection middle of next week

That is one hell of a good reflection off the lower A Pillar and door!
So many things have to be right to achieve such reflections.

I'm just working on a rear quarter patch panels, and man; it is difficult to get the metal straight.

 

[nosmonkey]

Interior done!

 

[nosmonkey]

And she's back from paint! Will benefit from a final flat and polish when it's mostly reassembled, but for now, enjoy the colour. It really is stunning, light blue when natural light hits it and black on panels out of direct light, with a purple hue under some certain lighting.

 

[nosmonkey]

That's quite a lot of leather!

 

[nosmonkey]

Sure is nice to have her back home after 8 months.

Front subframe refurbished and rebuilt. Gone with BC racing coilovers. Spent more time fitting the lokaris into the arches than actually bolting up the front end! Still have a little bit left to make them seal 100% but we are getting there. Also got a bit bored and decided to reassemble the indicator housings as they also came back from the chrome shop.

Find a chrome Phillips screw for your lenses.

 

[nosmonkey]

I'll grab some chrome hex head/security torx at some point, not a fan of exposed Phillips screws on external bodywork

Looking like a car! And yes, I know there is still some final flatting and polishing on the sides
