So after rushing to get the car running for some races last year and not loving the new paint job I decided to take it all apart - get it painted - and put it back together again when I have time on my side.

 

I went with 964 911 mint green. Its a lot of green right now, but all of my trim was recently done in SEM trim flat black + lots of carbon fiber I think it that will really help offset it.

As usual, things are getting out of hand.

 

Cleaning up some overspray (from a previous paint job) on the front subframe/suspension, which is all brand new. Rear subframe/suspension had some parts that I had not addressed (bushings mainly). New gas tank with a fuel pump I have a little more faith in. After this the car should have all new parts within the last 100 miles. Track days in this month... I also picked up a sandblast unit, which is helping me clean up parts and prep them for weld in reinforcements.

Did I miss what tear end setup your going with ?

 

Just a medium case diff for now.

 

Waiting to see if I break anything before over building it. I won't be launching this car its a track car.

One of my buddies from college is getting his racing license in my E30 this weekend so I have been burning the candle at both ends getting it back together from paint and fixing a bunch of little issues that I rushed through last year. More photos to come.
