Two days of reassembly and a quick wash and detail will be better, I just couldn't wait that long before I shared a pic.

Sooo excited... Paint turned out incredible color changes from almost black to silver / charcoal / blue ... sometimes look like it has a slight purplish tint when the sun hits it a certain way.

Did a full color change including interior of hood and all jambs

stripped to metal, acid echted, 2 coats of color, 4 coats of clear...

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

it was getting painted

Post by **xns** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

lol thanks guys, the wheels are off cause its still getting everyhting put back together, (inlcuding the engine, still have to install b&m short throw [which i bought

] and the polished vavle cover [which was free]) so while thats going on, there is no need for the rimmies to be on

, Once more, thanks for the kind words everyone!

Good stuff xns...

What did you find out about the part we were discussing?

Post by **xns** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

by the whole dash do you mean the inclusion of the little under piece that goes underneath the steering column? and the dash? cause we only have the dashboard. Fully wrapped and ready to ship

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

That answers my question.

Hang onto it, I'll be emailing you in a couple days...

Post by **SunshineAcid** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

for a second i thought you turtled your 240.i was going to have to go for a drive and a slap. =P

Post by **xns** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

Currently the idle is set so low that the car nearly dies right after starting and during normal idle, second, it is running way too rich, third, zero power, it takes like 2 mins to get to 60, though this maybe just because of the richness though

Post by **hybrid_flyer** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

sounds easy enough to fix if you have the know-how.. I could probably fix it as long as parts are provided

Post by **MECPInstaller** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

very nice xns hope you get your problems fixed soon, also just curious but whats that paint color called, and who makes it, house of kolor by chance?

Post by **flyfishz** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:52 am

XNS's dad here... Car was swapped to DOHC. No tunning was done yet... back into the shop Monday for tunning... XNS will be there to learn. The color is BMW factory paint called Toledo Blue

Car will be running great by next Sat and XNS is planning on going to D1 I would Go but I am going to Vegas...

Hitman-- pretty sure we have the lower dash peice below the steering column...

XNS needs to post some current Pics cause the ones in this thread look nasty compared to how the car really looks...

Post decent PICS XNS!!
