Only the names have been changed /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Last time I replaced an entire trunkfloor, it was for a BJ8. It's good to stay in practice!

Photo album of entire project here (still a work in progress): https://www.rfdm.com/gallery/album73

The owner of this car (2002 Z3 3.0 Rdstr) asked me to change out his trunfloor (with spare tire well) to one from an ///M Rdstr that would accommodate a future dual exhaust conversion.

I just happened to have the needed part in my basement:

Remove the original differential mount & spare tire carrier pivot:

After drilling out the spotwelds holding in the floor:

This guy drove his car up from Corpus Christi (to Toledo, Ohio) for me to do this job.

The other two (2) cars in the garage are a car I just finished from Miami Beach www.rfdm.com/gallery/album72 and one I'll be doing next from Sarasota www.rfdm.com/gallery/album74

Well like I said ain't no fun to it. Its just like working on Jaguars. The only reason I do it is cos I can charge so much money. Most folks drive their cars to me too- cos they know they can't afford the car hauler and me too.--Keoke- /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

hay man that dooooods greatest decision is when he decides what style hair cut he should get, im a contractor so i see this type of "pooh pooh " all the time, ya want somthin good pay a good price, ya really do some nice work, talent is not something one can fake though some may try, while the "over spray" is the kind of thing most people would have overlooked it was something you had realized from the start of this project most would miss that detail, i think you should seek help!!!!!! love it!!!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bow.gif
