          I was just looking through old pictures yesterday and found a few that I don't think I ever posted. I cannot wait for the car to have a fresh coat of black=) I should have also cut my bumpstops way back when. It definitely sat too high. Definitely needed spacers too. Oh well=)

            It's crazy how different the car is going to be once this is all done. And I thought it was cool in the pictures you just posted 0.o

                        You make it sound like I actually like heated leather and nice speakers.....

                        Besides, no car can climb snowbanks like the mk3.  And I mean...  NO car.

                              The e46 is basically a tow truck anyway.

                                  I finally got my rear subframe parts all painted up=) I didn't take any final pictures like I thought though=/ I also realised that one of the wheel bearings is really bad and needs to be changed.

                                  I ended up getting all of the carbon off of the pistons, but yet again I didn't take any pictures. Here are the only pictures that I took:

                                  Before clearcoat:

                                  IMAG0985zps5c198793.jpg

                                  Sprayed the brake shields and hubs:

                                  IMAG0986zps04ca92da.jpg

                                  Painted the diff black:

                                  IMAG0987zpsc2f34606.jpg

                                  Wednesday I will take pictures of them all finished. I will be pressing in the new bushings too hopefully. It is supposed to be warm for once, so I should be able to get some primer and paint on the block finally.

                                    Looks fantastic! I'm dying to see those wheels come together. One day I will do a suspension overhaul like this with my car

                                        Thank you sir. The suspense is killing me as well.
