Lots of good stuff to do.

Interior wall covering
Roof mount storage
Roof display mount
Roof speaker mount
wiring
A/C ducting
Strip vinyl
Buff/wax exterior

No experiance necessary, just willing hands. Heat gun/plastic scraper a plus. My driveway, 9am.

Here's what I think we should put on the walls.

I'm going to stop at HD sometime today to see what they have.

I'll be there. I have even more free time now since I've wrecked my race car

You can't just toss info like this out w/ no details. Are you OK?

Looks nice but may be overkill. If we decide to use this or some cheaper carpeting (I saw plenty of suitable stuff at Lowes), then we don't need paneling, just thin plywood.

I'm fine now. I was driving down the 15 fwy south on Saturday just past Temecular. The rain started coming down really hard (it was dry while I drove through Temecular), I felt the back end behave funny so I slowed down from 65 mph to 45 mph and started to move towards the slowest lane, I remember making the first lane change after that the car spun out and just started spining, felt like forever.

Lucky for me it was early in the morning and other cars where able to avoid me, I ended up left corner hard into the center guard rail bounced off and slammed back into it again with the rear. Such a helpless feeling.

On the plus side I now have like -20 deg camber

Trying to figure out what it is from that snapshot. From the BIG rocker below the door... BMW 3 series?

Yup, autox cars typically don't make great drives in the rain. The weekend we were rained out, I drove the Honda out in pouring rain. It was frighting. I saw at least 8 wrecks in the one hour drive, several single car wrecks just like yours. Glad you weren't hurt. Looks like the car will live to see another day.

Craig, yes 3 series BMW. E36 with no traction control

George, I hope it sees another day.

Bump. Kj is already on his way...

Big thanks to Kj, Rick, and George.

T&S walls insulated and plywood covered, ready for wall covering.
Display/speaker boxes mounted on CTV roof. Special kudos to George for doing this dirty job on the roof in the rain.
T&S patch panels built.

Rick is planning on coming back tomorrow afternoon so if anyone wants to help come on over.
