You and I had the same issue, I tried everything. I ended up having a friend in Germany buy it and send it to me. I bet Markus on here would do that for you, heck, he probably knows the guy...Leave a comment:

Some part scores!
Made a trip up to OH for a bike race and borrowed my mom's Subaru to pick up M3 interior and Mike's BBS wheels. I later bought the plenum from Mike too (can't recall his...Leave a comment:

A few more photos of received condition. I don't want to count how many hours I had into sanding rust, treating, then priming. I used stuff from Eastwood which is great stuff. Pics of that later....Leave a comment:

I decided rather than buying a ton of patch panels, I would purchase a donor car for metal and everything else I'd need. The photo of the parts in my garage shows how much I needed to source. Good thing...Leave a comment:

Nick's 89 M3...quite the project
Now that the car is at the paint shop, I guess it's time to tell the story. Here goes. I've put in over a year of work on it.
I probably shouldn't have bought the car...I mean the shell...
