M3 race car build

[spewy555]

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

[spewy555]

All underseal removed and then seam welded.

[spewy555]

New FIA cage tig welded in.


Painted inside and underneath.

[spewy555]

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

Awesome ! thats a lot of work

where did you get the spit roller from ?

[death]

awesome

[spewy555]

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!!!!!

[JimM3]

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.

[spewy555]

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!

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

Great project!

[spewy555]

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

[capri_rob]

Quite bonkers but I like it

[E30BeemerLad]

That's cool

[glenn]

wow!
bmw art

[chewy320]

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

Either way its going to be a fine machine!

[e30topless]

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...

[Sanchez]

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.

[DanThe]

Looks it will stand out, which is the motive

[e301988325i]

ooh, a new art car. . .

[Cotty]

I like the wrap but I actually preffered it white

[rix313]

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

[ricey46]

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

[spewy555]

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

[mrLEE30]

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

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

[spewy555]

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.

[spewy555]

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