Forum member "GoBlue" and I first met about 3 years ago when I corrected his S52 M Roadster. Since then Todd and I have stayed in touch, and when he picked up this '88 HennaRot M3, it was scheduled for a bit of TLC. This car is almost 26 years old, and is nearing 200,000 miles on the odometer. It's spent it's recent life as a track car, and sports a Euro S50B32 motor. The exterior had seen better days and was heavily oxidized. After going over our options, Todd decided on a single stage paint correction to rid the surface of oxidation, clean up some of the swirling, and substantially punch up the gloss! I also fully degreased and cleaned up the engine bay while the car was in.

50/50s on the hood, for some reason the light didn't turn out well. The in person results were DRAMATIC, though the photos don't exactly show it

Such a nice car. I love those first gen M3's.

It looks great, and you can see the 50/50's pretty well. Amazing difference.
 
The respect your elders sticker is great! Especially with the euro s50, must be a monster. You made that car into more of a gem.
 
:drool: Oh Ma Lawd that thing looks AMAZING! And with an S50 swap. Practically my dream e30.

Amazing job! The owner is one lucky guy! If he finds it gone one day it wasn't me…. :D
