Picked up my car from the body shop after getting the side mirrors, rear spoiler as well as upper and lower trims redone
Thank you to [mention]LSB4Me [/mention]for recommending ABS Auto Body in El Monte, they did a first rate job with everything
Once the car is ready i'll post some pics. I have not been posting pictures as I am waiting for my build thread to be recovered from the old forums. Im not going to make another one as that one was really big and detailed.
Busy weekend:
Coolant flush, new thermostat, new hoses, wolfanator o-rings - def recommend
oil change, plugs, coils
cf driveshaft, which turned into poly diff bushings and reinstalling the rear subframe to inspect for any new damage
Taped my shark fin antenna back on my 05 M3. If anyone has a used shark fin antenna (base and cover), please message me! Part is no longer available. Thanks!
installed the correct hardware for the rear shock mount, including adding the reinforcement plate that was missing. then I made the final ride height adjustments on my new ohlins and got things set right at the usual 13.5F/13R.
My cars are at the Panama Canal now, about another month until they land in Germany. Then my guess is 1-2 weeks for the cars and all our household goods to clear customs, get on a truck, and be delivered to us in southern Germany. We are in a small town about 2hrs from the Ring. I found a ~1000 sq/ft workshop that we can move into May 1st, that will act as our garage and work space.
Depending on how much time and money I can throw at the cars, I think I can be registered and on the road legally by June, maybe sooner! My goal is to do it as cheap as possible, getting them legal first and then later reproaching any new upgrades or mods. There’s a decent amount of parts that will have to be changed in order for me to register the cars for road use here.
Want to give a shoutout to Altaran for fielding my endless wave of questions about TÜV and other general questions about Germany! We got some good people in this forum!
Here are some excellent photos courtesy of the shipping company lol.
