              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.

                                          I heard parts dont clean as well unless you make faces at them.  Appears to be true :P
