I am ashamed to say this is my m3. I went through a few different phases over the last 3 years. I had a Dinan supercharger on it for a while then blew the head gasket(all before it sat). About 3 years ago I decided that I wanted 650whp and built the motor with forged bits, machining and parts and a gt35r kit. Decided to invest that money into my biz and sold the engine and turbo parts. Bought another engine and rebuilt it. Now the car is running again and it's time to straighten up the paint.

The clay was really ugly when I finished. After 3+ years of sitting, big surprise right?

Doing bits and parts of the detail when I have time.
Before:



I am doing my best but it has tons of pitting and rock chips.

More progress.

The front is off so I can polish up areas that are difficult to get easily otherwise.

Cleaned up the inside as well. This isn't really necessary. But with it off and as filthy as it was and clean at the paint now was I figured it couldn't hurt.




More to come as progress is made.
