          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.

                                        Just to give you guys an idea of exactly how my lips will look.

                                        This is Shaun Quills car. He is the one powdercoating my faces. We are both running Breytons. His are 11's in the back though. I need to find some 7.5" or 8" barrels to widen mine sometime this year.

                                        Hit him up if you guys need any powder needs met: https://www.facebook.com/ShaunsPowderCoating?ref=ts&fref=ts
