I am not sure if this is the best section for this post but if not the mods can move it.



I have been detailing cars since I got my learners and have always used the money for my addiction, Racing! I started auto crossing when I got my learners and moved up to high performance driving the next season on full road courses. I have been making my way up the driving education levels and plan on going for my road racing license this season. I have built up a 1989 BMW 325i for Nasa's spece30 class and finally got some extra money to paint the car. A good friend of mine and myself sanded and painted the car in a weekend in his garage and without further rambling here are a few pictures of the process.



Here is the car before at VIR:

Yes I know a chevy trailer, but you can't complain when you get to borrow a trailer whenever you want.

That is a sweet choice for a 4 door sedan race car. Paint looks fantastic!



Tell us more...whats the drivetrain? Suspension / Brakes?
