We have found that the O/s/f door has been replaced at some time, its been painted without any primer.

We have had to paint strip it. ( ref photos no primer only the black e-coat )




Wacko This is never ending lol

Your going to have a rather hefty bill in the end but,to have a mint M3 evo saloon is pretty much a rareity so all be worth it in the end. I believe if your going to do a job then do it right first time and that saves any revisiting and its always better in the long run.

Looking forward to seeing the car on June 1st John.

No not ones have i been to see the car, Alan at BMW has been giving me all the up dates and pics

Only ones went to BMW to give Alan the new Steering Wheel and left never had time to look at the body shop? 

Its hard when your getting all that work done, i had to just sit back and trust them to get on with the work..

To the rest thanks for all the nice words on how its looking just need to wait and see this in the flesh.
And then i am going to have to give the car a detail, clean up seal the paint work all the wheels need to come off and be cleaned waxed 

Then oil service brakes need to be looked at MOT, Tax and all this for Sunday Shocked mmmmm its going to be close Cry
