oh8sti Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Can I get the first right of refusal when you want to sell in the next decade or ever? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Mart Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Everything is for sale at the right price. Unfortunately, what I would want out of the car is probably more than most are willing to pay. Either way, it would be best for everyone for me to finish it then explore other options.

C-Mart Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well after getting side tracked parting out an M5 the M3 is back on the chopping block. Motor is getting pulled so I can send it to paint. Leaning heavily towards white, specifically Porsche Glacier White. The car was originally silver and was painted red (poorly) in the 90s. Doing it right this time IE removing all the glass, trim, etc. Did some further inspection of the car and it is in really great shape rust wise so I am happy about that. Should be in paint within 2 weeks so I will keep this thread updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Looking good sir. I'll bet that was fun shoehorning that in there. Are you planning for natural aspiration or turbo set up in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Mart Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I have learned the hard way to not modify a motor before the swap is completed. Plan is to get the LS1 running well and go from there. May go LS3 - may supercharge it - not 100% sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Mart Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Progress will look slow for the next few steps. Needs work on the fuel system plumbed, wiring, radiator/hoses, power steering, and brake/clutch lines. Not as fun seeing progress on these. After that the body panels/trim/interior will start going back on/in. Mechanically it is 98% done. I am considering beefing up the trans mount. Despite being done by a well known fabricator I am not sold that it is a well designed mount. Also, I need to drop the exhaust off at a fab shop and have them weld in some flanges to be able to bolt a cat on for emissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Mart Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not much progress outside of making parts lists and collecting parts. Here are some fun goodies though: [/url] [/url] [/url] Set closest to the camera have trashed tires. Going to replace them some some street DRs. Set farther has a set of basically new 235/40/17 Toyo Proxes RRs (perfect e30 M3 fitment), which should make for some fun autoX. Cameo of the mutt.
