Hi, I'm my name is Martin. I picked up this crashed Arctic Silver 98 4Dr M3 for basically free, car has some damage from a previous collision but is mechanically flawless and the interior is flawless. Only 80000 miles on the car and it has been well maintained throughout its life. I'm looking to restore it to its former glory. I'm 22 and will be attending law school at the end of this summer. This is my 3rd vehicle, my other two projects are below. I've paid for everything myself, so don't think I'm some spoiled kid that mommy and daddy buy everything for.

Plan:
-Fix body damage, really just waiting on a new fender at this point and eventually a new hood.
-poly bushings all around
-Bilstein PSS9s
-upgrade the cooling
-who knows from then on
-get some OEM 17s for it rather than the E46 wheels on it, if anyone wants to trade I'll do so gladly.

my 99 galant, which is my daily/track slut/snowboarding rig, etc, went from this

to this



full suspension( custom coils, sway bars, endlinks, etc), 5spd swap, CF body panels, LSD, mounts, bushings, uprated cooling, seat, harness bar, etcthe works

Also my 91 miata, which was bought for 625 dollars and is being turned into a beater track car that me and my friends can really tinker and experiment with
if any of you have ventured to the miata forums you may have seen it as project Lazarus. Car is visually horrid but mechanically solid and handles exceptionally well and is under 2000 pounds with a full tank of gas and a roll bar added, sitting on E30 BMW BBS wheels :) Mods are coils that I built myself from various parts, sway bars, bushings, full exhaust, and massive weight savings




So here is the M3




and here's a shot of the 3 together



hopefully I didn't bore you guys to death with the long intro, I hope to be an active member of the community and pick you brains for advice along the way.
