I understand it has a certain 'grassroots' aspect to it, I as I did not get a chance to 'tidy & clean' it up as I would have liked to (+ improvization in terms of certain hose type & placement) , but since it took so long to finally complete it, all I wanted to do is to get it on the road. | | | 01-29-2007, 02:05 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 | one more... | | | 01-29-2007, 02:16 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 | dont know about anyone else, but for us, this seemed the only semi comfortable position for most of the work that had to be done..

I will, at my own financial pace, off course, try and do most of what she has done. http://www.understeer.com/318ti.shtml Quote: Originally Posted by dabesteva thanx ,the cost was 4k for the paint job.

It looks so tacky! would have preffered to keep the box...
