Great job man! A tip: use neutral dish detergent or petroleum jelly to mount the rubbers instead of the grease. The grease attacks the rubber, it can cause a shortened service life (due to dryness of rubber).

It is interesting to note the differences and similarities between the E30 & E36. I had to change the rear wheel bearings on my E36 and one of the driveshafts was an absolute pig of a job to get out as it was stuck on the hub. In the end, I used the Clarke CHT240 hub puller to get it out. I had to replace my front lower control arms as well. A popular mod on the E36 is to fit E30 lower control arms. I just replaced like for like along with the "lollipop" bushes. This car will be like new once it is done and will add value to an already very desirable M3.

Amazing. Can't wait to see it done and running. For base primer have you considered a combo between etching primer and epoxy primer instead of high build primer on frame parts? In would say it is more important to have them protected than pretty. And as a small advice: never, i mean NEVER use regular grease/lubricants on rubber/poli bushes...or parts in a general way. It is well known that will attach and soften the material. Try to stick only to silicone base lubricants for these parts.

@@RestoreIt when i restored my car i did some research and the all 4 of them are quite different from what i understood. Etch primer uses a chemical mix to attack and attach the metal. Epoxy primer's super power is that it seals the metal very well preventing water and oxigen reaching the metal. Rust convertors are used to chemically remove rust from metal but has no power without proper protection (i tested that myself and it re-rusted in about a week High build primer is designed to fill an area that will be sanded in order to speed up the leveling process. Has none to little corosion protection. I might be wrong, but i see you dedicating and putting all that work, it would be a pity not to last forever (big words, i know) I really admire your work and patience

My man, you're using the same brand base and clear so don't hesitate to do this: Mix up your base as usual. Mix a little clear as usual. Mix them together thoroughly. Strain into your gun and shoot as single stage. This way you don't have a bunch of different paints kicking around your shop. By mixing the base and clear you are making your own single stage. You're gonna save a lot of time in the booth shooting underparts this way. Search "mixing base coat and clearcoat together" and lots of paint manufacturer how-to' pages will come up.
