After the GTG, and the look under my car I realized I wanted a better ride and could do some constructive work on the car this summer..

MAN four new Boge shocks really made this a much better ride! Instead of being wallowey over bumps, its firm, without sacrificing the smooth ride. Much better than the $hitty Gabriels I put on the old 240D.

Next project is undercoating the chassis. I ordered some POR 15, and I really want to get to all the little areas under my car with this stuff. Not 100% sure how much I need, but it says a pint covers 25 square feet, so I figured that should be enough for at least the reverse sides of the rear quarter/trunk. If it works out nice, I can always bite the bullet and get more.

We'll have this bad boy up to snuff buy the time URI Fall 2006 rolls around..

Also car gets repainted on the week beggining July 17, to get rid of that orange peel/drips.

I'll definitely post pictures.

But WOW those shocks were a good investment...somewhat cheap too, ended up getting all four for around 135.
