    I had a lovely portable drive failure. That means the XLS with forum name and which forum of people requesting parts was lost.

    I am starting to sell parts off the E90 M3 and the E46 M3. If you are interested in parts, please email directly at norcal.drivers@gmail.com. I know some parts have been claimed but I lost your PM so please email me so I don't have technical failure again. I will post images in the for sale thread and link back to this post.

    I know this is a odd request but please help where you can letting people know about parts. The sooner I can sell most of the item the faster I can get this project done and share how to replicate the process.

    Here are parts I know that are for sale at the moment. I am willing to ship parts but you of course have to pay for the shipping. If you want to estimate shipping use starting zip of 95662.

    **For those in the Bay Area or with in a hour of Sacramento, I have a truck and deliver large items directly to you if you pay for fuel**

    OK So the updates have taken a while to get done, sorry about that. With the help of some M3 forum members we have completely stripped down the E90 M3 to just its shell. We also started a little on the E46 to being that tear down and prep. The M3 sadly is in VERY bad shape, more so than I thought. Hopefully it is not so bad I can still use it.

    Look at what Mr FedExaclause dropped off for me to take over to the shop. Large box with fragile written all over it. I wonder what it could be.....

    What's with the white on the E46 - car was originally gray... looks like it was plasti-dipped?

    Yes the last owner plastidiped the car. Very poorly I might add

    Plasti-dipping a whole car - ugh! I guess at least that's relatively easy to un-do, but - what a nuisance! Hope the rest of the project is progressing as planned!

    Apparently I like pain or just need to be busy.

    GTR project reboot. New chassis car acquired and new thread will be stared.

    Long over due update. I will add more images but chassis car has been de-motored and donor car FINALLY was acquired and is in route from Baltimore. More images to come.

    Here is the chassis car as a rally edition E46 M3. Look at all that clearance.

    Sorry have not been posting here. More in depth here on build in link below.

    Basic notes.

    Use a 2001-2002 to do the project as where DSC module is, is better
    You will need a custom steering shaft
    Use of a Z3 Steering rack
    Custom mounts
    Notch the lower brace
    Different F CABS
    Extra oil cooler to act as trans cooler

    More to come as we work out issues as we make them HAHA
