Ah true, but should be relatively minor. Don't have plans to drop the subframe, the diff bushings are already done. Just need to do the control arm bushings, and the pillow balls. I also have toe links and trailing arms on order, so we won't have to deal with those bushings.

Yea I like the idea of dropping painting etc, but since no one will ever see it I'm not inclined to put in the effort if I'm honest

Would probably like to clean/paint the control arms though.

Word. Send me a text next week to remind me.

That's all fine and good if you are willing to ruin the lugs. I have the wheel locks keys, I just didn't have them up there when we needed them last time. I don't plan to ruin nice lugs for no reason.

Well it was another weekend of long hours and a lot of work. Once again gotta thank Brian for putting in the unnatural hours with me. Going to sleep at 7am is getting old

Started with glaze and sand, glaze and sand, glaze and sand for what seemed like eternity. Brian and Pete inspected/measured/stacked a short block in the time I spent sanding









At the end though the work paid off. Nothing like rubbing your hand (or other appendages ) accross some freshly 400 grit sanded glaze

Once again the paint gun was giving us fits. A fresh rebuild kit seemed to make things worse! A wrong parts diagram, two stripped fasteners, a removed seal, and a lot of cussing later we had a functional gun.

With the gun working as it should Brian laid down some more beautiful paint work. Which turned out to be the biggest cock tease ever. More on that later, let's enjoy it while we can.







So why was the paint a cock tease? Because it's the wrong fucking color
The shop that painted my car specifically told me the color was called Frozen Grey Metallic from BMW. So that's what we got. Unfortunately it is several shades darker than the paint on the car. BMW also has a color called Frozen Silver Metallic which looks lighter and what I'm guessing is the actual color of the car. Soo ~$400 worth of paint wasted. Not to mention the time and effort.

At least there will be much less to prep for the next go around. And silver lining pun intended Brian and I both really like the Frozen Grey Metallic color so it may appear on something in the future
