    Thats pretty much the end off the summer 2011. Install an AA track pipe and Gen 3 cat back and store it.
    During winter I made a trip to Albany pick-up these.

    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.


    IMG_0329 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr

    Started to sand the cage and add tire to the meister


    IMG_0386 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr

    Sand more...

    IMG_0585 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr

    Ending up pretty shiny


    IMG_0587 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr

    The process was not super fun but Im happy with the result.

    I love it. I think I preferred it a bit more before the last drop, but love it regardless. Great wheel choice.

    I think it looks best on the ac schnitzers and the work wheels! But it's definitly a sick build, in for more!

    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.


    IMG_1101 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr

    I put TMS underdrive pulley at the same time

    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

    Smoke light all around, added rear mudflap and apex arc 8 with 245/35.(mostly track wheels)


    IMG_2104 par Philippe Gélinas, sur Flickr

    This was at eurokracy 2013. Put the meister back on
