Found a center to rebuild the schnitzers but since I bought the meister I sold them. Another trip to pennsylvania to deliver the wheels and pick-up the cage.

Started to sand the cage and add tire to the meister

I think it looks best on the ac schnitzers and the work wheels! But it's definitly a sick build, in for more!
great looking car!
perfect!
I thought the roll bar was chrome. how'd you get it like that?
Thanks guys!

I polish it basically like you'd polish anything. Sand from 220 to 2000-2500 grid and after I apply a polishing cream. It was blue magic but I think any product would work. I have tried to clear it but it really kills the shinny effect, I have removed the clear and now it's just steel polished.
Not long after bimmerfest I blew a coolant hose
IMG_1009 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr
My car was around 70k miles, I knew E36 coolant system start to fail at that millage so I did a overhaul with a ZM3 S54 3 core rad, stewart waterpump, samco hoses.

During winter I bought Status Carbon ring gt seats
IMG_1719 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr
IMG_1740 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr
I made a panel delete to clean the interior
started with cardboard
IMG_1723 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr
After that, I use the cardboard as a template and cut the panel
I used a plastic panel I bought at home depot.
IMG_1728 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr
I used subwoofer audio material to cover the panel. Stick it with spray glue
IMG_1734 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr
looks like this
