well i recently picked up a 95 M3 a friend found on craigslist, i had one before and it was a very fun car

so anyway here it
i knew it was red from the ad but when we got there we found out it was the rare MugelloRot
heres the pics from the ad

its a one owner car its been very well taken care of as far as mech, has the factory keyless and alarm, window sticker all 4 keys and 2 remotes!
only downside is that the paint is faded from sitting in the sun (mugello is factory single stage :cry:)
but here is some pics i took when i first got it

and at some point it had the fender replaced and they painted it and the door base clear

also the headlights were very yellow as most of them tend to be

but our buffer at work does wonders!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/3ad70227.jpg
so on to the good stuff
the factory exhaust was all rusty and such
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/0f8c34d2.jpg
so i picked up a nice catback for it
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/2b907472.jpg
and when it was on the lift i checked it out and i was amazed, all new bushings no leaks AT ALL
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/b0901fd5.jpg
then i sanded the flaking clear off the door and fender and fixed a couple door dings
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/d712c4cb.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/4d4a9290.jpg
then on to the hood, i was gonna replace it but it was almost 1000 for a oem m3 hood so after MUCH struggling, it got repaired

and while i was detriming it for paint and took the wing off i though "hmmm this looks much better without it so needless to say
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/786d0baf.jpg
holes welded
grinded down

then got everything all primed and ready for blocking

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/f5c80e41.jpg
then picked up a set of wheel
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/b18crxkid/28ffbf6c.jpg
and of course i had to do this

Superb! I would have left the wing myself, but thats all me, not my car :D

I love threads like these, they actually show someone cares and does f'n work when they get a car. Props to you man.
