Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 1, 2009 haha I say that because most BMW owners want the finest job possible. He is a car painter not a panel beater so if you take a damaged car to him he will source it out He is a good car Painter ,easy to deal with and his pricing is very reasonable.

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Update time..... So the time has come where i have this Saturday and Sunday with nothing to do This weekend im going to finish the swap over and do the... guibo joint? rubber bit on the back of the gearbox replace joints on shifter to get rid of the sloppiness secure the bodykit, the door pods like to move in the wind put the 3.64 diff in, getting sick of the 4.4 put the rear sway bar in, its got the loosest as in town and do something with the front and rear suspension now im looking to spend ~$500 on the suspension, can anyone point me in the direction of some secondhand shocks and springs that will make it sit a bit lower and stiffen it up? as its currently like a bouncy castle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) So this weekend i painted the pods, still need a few more coats, also sprayed the plastics black and the indicators got the thinnest coat of black just to make them look the part. also put in some suspension i bought off ray, also put in the rear sway bar then gave it a good clean ready for the cruise tomorrow Edited May 31, 2009 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
