Hi Carl got your pm

Hi Moz there are a few alternatives available on the market
My leather is I fair condition except heavy cracking and a tear... Hoping its savable really
Would like to see your pictures if you could find them

Cheers

Hey Ricardo That maybe an option or maybe find replacement oem second hand repair sections but the main thing is to keep costs down as i have a lot more to buy for the car yet so need to keep funds back for that unfortunately I live in Norfolk so not too far for me with Newton Commercial so possibly...

Bought myself a sports interior for my touring The seats are in fairly good condition but have a few storage dents which i can get out with a heat gun/hairdryer? my biggest one is i want to change the colour from silver to pearlbeige and also fill cracks and fix a tear , i looked at furniture clinic...

That would be very helpful thanks

Hi no worries thanks for replying
Love to put some back on mine to make it more original
I'm I bit of a weirdo when it comes to little details like that
I'll have to try and dig some measurements off the net somewhere

Andrew

I will take a look at your build
I suppose if its being ragged around a track its structural thats the priority

14 years.... must be perfect when done
Yeh im really heading for the rolling restoration. It will be a weekend car so i suppose no rush?

Hi mate love the details!
Did you make the factory jacking point or buy it?
If you made it do you have any deatails on how you made it and placement?

Thanks

Im in Norfolk i started doing bodywork myself... I have done the front floor but now losing interest in doing the bodywork as its on my gravel driveway and its annoying dragging tools out every time i want to do some welding etc 3 years seems a long time i was hoping a year max. Maybe ill get it roa...

I have a restoration shop near me that says they do work and take payments as and when they do it
My question is has anyone got experience with how this works as im wondering if thats the best option for me

TIA

I used 1.2 mm for underneath with .8 wire

Looks like this will be looked after

Hey looks good Now I have seen how you have broken it down it looks a lot clearer and feel a bit more confident What seam sealer are you using? I need to get some really as at the moment I'm just spraying with zinc primer and using 3m underseal spray which I'm concerned hasn't sealed it properly Tha...

Just a small update and looking for some advice Bought Some good second hand panels from Brutus on here ready for when the welding is finished IMG_20191005_160600.jpg IMG_20191005_160613.jpg IMG_20191005_160637.jpg 2 genuine wings in excellent conition also a valance in ecellent condition Plus a bon...

Nice one... your getting along nicely...
Havnt had a chance to look at mine for a couple of weeks because of weather

Yours is going to be a nice tidy car in the end

Yeh know the feeling
I'm thinking if getting a rechargable work light so I can at least do something after work to push things along

I might have a big day of cutting out Saturday so i can at least do a bit of welding in the evenings maybe

Your doing a grand job
My problem is I don't clean as I go and end up working in a mess

I'm enjoying your build as we are at similar points but I see you steaming ahead soon as I only get Saturdays to work on it

Keep going it gives me drive

just bought those off ebay under 4 quid for 20
I just searched "BMW E30 plastic nuts" funnily enough worked out

I did grind them down a lot to make them look something

need a bit more practice before outer bodywork

I was thinking maybe get some thin screws then cutting the head off then tacking them on then cutting to length.... maybe that will work

Hey dan!! Yeh im going to try and recreate all neccessary fixing points for the wings Also need to fix some little suds that the inner liner fixes too ... them little threaded studs because mine all came off Like yourself i feel this becoming a long journey Was hoping to have this on the road by the...

I took my arch liners out from the front and the little studs with the plastic nuts all snapped off How have people fixed this?.. Im thinking maybe get some screws then cut the head off then tack on? Then cut to length when fixed in place? It may sound crazy but just trying to think on my feet :mad:
