I bought the car in March of 2008 for $4900.00 When I bought it the cars exterior was in pretty rough condition with countless amounts of scratches on it but no rust or dents. Shortly After I bought the car I returned to Iraq and came back 4 months later. After narrowly avoiding a f5 tornado and floods in the summer of 08 I came back to my car in one piece. I went to work on it and buffed out most of the scratches on the car to the point where the paint looked like brand new. Later on as soon as I got to Washington 3 door dings on the passenger side door and a rock ship the size of a penny surfaced on the car.
What I plan on doing to the car is setting it up for auto cross so I will be mainly focused on suspension rather than engine performance.
Recently I just picked up a Super Sprint DTM M3 Exhaust valued at $900 new for $50 and a full M3 Interior valued at around $800 in good condition for $150.
Did a almost full color restoration on the M3 Interior since it was covered in mold from sitting in a salvage yard for years in washington rain snow and humidity.
