E46 M3 track slag turned around in a day

billyboysm3 · 17-06-2014, 10:14 AM

So Adem and I picked a E46 M3 up bank holiday weekend in Scotland, BMW kindly lent me a new White M5 which made the journey shorter in time.

She has 54k miles on the clock and all OEM.

Sunday was our only day to fit intrax, AP's, change brake fluid, strip interior, fit seats, harnesses and geo before bedford on Monday.

The seats we ordered failed to get delivered on Friday so had to remove the seats out of the E36, drill new holes in the base and fit.

First removed interior:

Then had to fit door cards

Had to fit E36 seats

Didn't have time to fit short shifter.

Fitted AP's and Intrax

Ran out of time to fit new bonnet:

Bought some cups off here but rear was flat as a pancake and doesnt hold air so had to make last minute changes on Friday as wanted to arrive and drive on cups and didnt want to use my CSL rims with new cups for a shakedown at bedford.

Luckily been refurbing these 18's for the last week:
Before:

After some strong acid, shit loads of sanding, and cleaned with fairy liquid:

These were supposed to go neon but didnt have the time so a quick trip to halfords and decided to be gay and go boring black:

All rims fit in the back of the car perfectly for when Adem, Gareth and I go to Zaaaaaaannnnddddvort next month.

Time was now 3pm and didnt have time for some porridge:

Adem took the car to his garage to Geo, but had be someone's body guard at a wedding incase things got out of control, so only managed to Geo the car at 5am monday morning.

The alternator packed up so took two batteries to track and Ctek charger.

Car at Bedford:

Still got loads to do but that was the best we could do in such a short space of time.

Car handles well, just need square set up on cups - and solid bushes all round.
