Thought you might like to have a look at whats happened to Jasons old M3!

All underseal removed and then seam welded.

New FIA cage tig welded in.


Painted inside and underneath.

..and now on the way to the graphics company for a full wrap.

I like where this is going.

same here

Awesome ! thats a lot of work

where did you get the spit roller from ?

awesome

The spit is one we use a lot I just make up the brackets depending on the car.

Nice build and looking forward to the end of this project. Just one criticism, RHD!!!!!

Just out of interest, what did you use to get all the underseal off from underneath?
It's something I have to do shortly and was just wondering if you had found an easier way of doing it!?
Cheers,
Jim.

I normally use some heat and a scraper or a knotted wire head on a grinder.

This car is for the Mrs, she insisted leaving it RHD until after I`d done all the work! However I have all the LHD parts so can convert it back later.

I use the knotted wire wheels on a grinder and used a gas torch on the bits you can`t get to afterwards. Best way to be honest is an acid dip or oven bake but I didn`t want to loose the sealant from the seams as we intend to keep the car for some time, still lost around 30kgs though!

Looking good

Wicked Looking forward to updates!

It's always great to see a shell stripped back that far!

Great project!

Back from the graphics company now.. starting to go back together.

Quite bonkers but I like it

That's cool

wow!
bmw art

White would have been a bit more subtle....

Either way its going to be a fine machine!

it's not my thing but it certainly will stand out in the crowd

if i had a white car as a base it would have to be a warsteiner wrap...

I had a 'nice' ride in that M3 1st and only time in a moving one
Glad to see it put to good use, loving the wrap.

Looks it will stand out, which is the motive

ooh, a new art car. . .

I like the wrap but I actually preffered it white

Think thats actualy awsome Whats with the random bit on the door?

Wow very impressive, is that Jason Lyness old M3??

We all like different things , Yes it`s Jasons old car, hope to have the engine back this week, I`m sure most will like that

also what i was wondering, it would really annoy me as the rest of the car follows the same lines/colours

There`s very little of the car that follows the same lines if you look closer! We mocked it up before it was fitted and it dosn`t look very nice if you keep the lines constant. You have to remember there is door numbers and sponsors decals etc that need to go on yet.

Anyway... a bit more of the build.

... and a few engine bits, should have it in the car in the next week or so.

I like where this is going,
