    My experience with their color coat is that it's close but not exact (it was for a silver Mazda 3). Their clear coat is abysmal and their instructions are garbage. I had the clear coat start cracking after a few months, they sent a new can and I followed their directions closely. Same result. Their touch-up in a tube (base coat only) is OK but never will I use their spray products ever again.

    Hey, I currently am doing the same swap as you and your videos have been huge help throughout the project so far. Right now I am just trying to source the finnaly parts needed to get this thing driving. I just want some clarification on what drive shaft you are using because there is litteraly NO helpful info on this online. My transmission is a ZF S5D 320Z, it is a five speed and if you could help me figure out the driveshaft that I need that would be great! Thank you, AJ

    • @ProjectRacecar2
      @ProjectRacecar2 Місяць тому

      Hey man! That zf is from an e36? If it is you would use the same e36 driveshaft so either a 328i or m3 driveshaft, but you will swap out the center support bearing with an e30 one, it fits right up! No mods to the chassis or the diff and transmission

It will be very grateful to show the full list of parts and detail cost of every single part and labor hours, plus money spend on tools so we get a better idea of how much money we are talking about. I know it must be quite a large sum after adding up all the parts, labor and tools. That is including the Car, upholstery, and all the cometic parts that come along with the exterior and interior. Maybe at least a large Sum total of what has been spend up to today. and then add potentially the remaining cost to finish it.
