I took some pics of the weekend shannigans that took part at my shop. I had friends stop over for a detailing party, threw some brats and hotdogs on the grille, and even had to get under the rusty integra to replace the rear pads.

On our way to do some Work, someone is still a little sleepy...

Holy crap that's a lot of great stuff you have access to! Nice car collection, also. I'm jealous of and humbled by your shop skills.

Get your winter mats out of your car!

It's 73*F in Dayton right now...no need for them anymore!

Good work though, seems you have the OCD nature as I do.

Thanks Guys! It was a fun/productive weekend, the first of many to come here soon. Its getting closer and closer to spring, everyone wants their wheels on or mods installed.

My lab is the only one I can trust not to wonder off and explore things around the shop :)

lol, I got the porter cable treatment doing a friends car. I didn't do my own, I only washed it. I want to clay bar it and just didn't have time Sunday.

nice work man, I just never liked the look of the M3 bumpers on the facelifts, or the M tech II look on the prefacelifts.

Great work Kpro! The bumper looks to have great fitment. Interior looks really clean, and I'm guilty of the hair tie on the shifter (sometimes) too. Like your CF knob a lot.
Your wheel fitment is excellent and the wheels are sexy too! Great work all around!!!

Btw, what brand is your press? I broke mine from Northern Tool, so I need something more durable.

:biggrin I always kept hair ties around my shifter before I cut my hair. You need them with the windows down.

Ryan, I got the press at Harbor Freight, its a 20 ton...wasn't too expensive either :) Im thinking its a Central Pneumatic, not sure. I will be there tomorrow night for a bit, I'll check and PM ya :) Thanks for the compliments, I love my beatermobile!

Hair things on the shifter is typical on all my cars, the windows go down, the hair goes up!
