time for an update. been a couple of weeks but have done a fair bit. the foot well is welded up mostly got a few bits to finish and my rear hub bearings are done. rear brakes are all rebuilt with handbrake working both sides. also bought a new bonnet from a nice chap only cost £20 :!: so that was a ...

Ok another weekend down and some more hours put into the car. thanks guys i tried real hard to keep everything neat, just a hangover from work. everything has is place etc etc... so my forehead is a bit burned where i managed to get showered by sparks lol but the car is starting to come together. my...

cheers for the advice i will definitely be getting some pro-15 then and snipping my wire. i didn't know about the primer till my mate handed me a can. all the guides I've read about mig welding say to weld to bare metal. but I've been assured the primer is the mutts nuts. good luck with the rest of ...

thanks for all the good comments! its time for a quick update. i have been chipping away at the foot well a bit more over the last week or so have started to fabricate the metal also all the shiny good metal is now primed and ready. slowly getting there. its a shame as the weather has not helped one...

Looking good there mate. I'm getting ready to weld up my IS. The earlier post where you did the jacking point is that what the end of the sill should look like? I need some reference to make sure it's right on mine. I've primed all my bare metal with etch weld primer. Which is a zinc based weld thro...

Congrats on the car! Dont let that rust scare you! I bought a '91 318iS last august... been working on it ever since! Build thread here if you're interested: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=243594 thanks mate. yeah I've been looking at your thread. its very impressiv...

I do, that would be cool I'm going away for a week soon. Ok to PM you when I get back?
What would want for it?

Righty ho got my grinder out and cut all the rusty holes out of the drivers footwell today. also got practicing with the welder I'm still a bit rubbish but i can lay a weld now. only problem is i used all my gas just practicing. hopefully tomorrow i'll have enough time to cut some metal to plug the ...

time for an update on the rusty dawg as I'm now calling the old motor. i have replaced the fan heater motor and got the blowers working on all four speeds again. my resistor is a bit rusty (surprise!) much like the rest of the car. so i cleaned that up a bit and now its now back in business. also ha...

Lol at your build. I remember that kitchen! The things we painted in there. I also remember sanding a spoiler on your coffee table lol. I need to get in a weld up my floor! Awesome car.

so after yesterdays festivities and this mornings hangover i had a couple of hours this afternoon to do more exploratory surgery on the car. Chris came over with some shiny tools and we got to work on a couple of bits n bobs. so we cleaned up the foot well a bit more and you can see the chassis memb...

No bearing going to sort that out next week after I've got paid etc.
I doubt I'll be able to do anything Saturday I've other crap to sort in the morning.

Great stuff Mike.:cool: I'm envious of those who have the skills/tools/space to do all their own work. Haha! I have the space but not sure about the other two lol. Cheers bud! I've not had the quarters out yet ran out of time. If we're not busy at work I'll see if I can take a half day. Take a look...

Looking good much more progress than my turd.

ok so i aquired a half inch socket set today (don't worry Chris i got you a present too!), which meant i could get the carpet out. found evidence of previous repairs and a BIG hole in the driver side foot well. the carpet was actually fused to the rusted metal. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c228...

Yes mate that's one of the reasons I snapped this one up. I well remember the nightmare Chris has sorting his out. I don't think it was to bad compared to some we'd seen previous. Your car is awesome btw. I guess it'll be tough to find a non sunroof that someone wants to break. Cheers for looking - ...

Wrong tyres again though lol. Not much done today.
Disconnected towbar wiring jacked up rear on to stands.
Changed front wheels. Discovered more rust and broken parts. Blah.

Cheers mate looks like I'm gonna need all the luck I can get

Hello! So I've been looking for a project and my mate Chris (aka goosiegander) has been twisting my arm forever about getting an e30. So I was trawling the Bay of dreams and happened upon a 318is non sunroof in Diamondscwhartz. It was also pretty cheap but had a lot of problems. Cut a long story sho...
