Hi all What are you guys using for repair panels. I've bought a couple off eBay now and I keep on ending up with the wrong ones, it says it will fit a preface lift convertible however they don't curve towards the rear as it does on the car. 20220302_190409.jpg The car's nearly ready to go to the bod...

So gently guide it out and then the same on putting it back in?

Hi all

I wanted to remove my windshield and the rubber as there is some surface rust around that area, do I need to remove the dash to take the seal out and to put it back in?

Thanks

Fuel breather. You can remove that hard line and terminate the breather up by the fuel filter. Just add a small piece of rubber hose there and job done

It's a job I've t do on mine shortly

What did you do with the tunnel it goes through towards the front

There has been some work done over the last few months, the front wings were removed and the sills were stripped of their paint which showed some areas of rust. I have used Bilt Hamber deox gel on them repeatedly. I am still waiting to paint them in etch as my compressor was playing up. https://lh3....

Thanks a lot guys, out it comes. What do I do with the hole it passes through near the front passenger side. Anyway of stopping any rust etc?

Hi all I have a metal pipe that goes from the fuel tank to the front of the car, at the front it joins to a rubber hose which does not go anywhere. It was sitting in the frame before I pulled it out. This connects to the fuel tank behind the filter. It's rusted more than the other lines so I was won...

Cool. So PP sounds like the kit Mr Bodykits sell. The have side skirts too. I did have a look at their website, it seems they do not have MT1 skirts for a convertible. And I think the postage would be higher compared to shipping from Europe. I have been cleaning the centre section, here are some be...

So they do 3 versions of the kit. They offer fiberglass, Plastiflex or PP plastic versions. They explained the difference between them Fiberglass is the least expensive but least well fitting of the 3, mainly used for motorsports or drift etc. 2. Plastiflex is a mix of kevlar and resin so much more ...

The car is finally back on the floor and had a taste of snow for the first time in 11 years. 20211113_192930.jpg 20211128_150118.jpg I started cleaning the underside in the middle section ready for new underseal. I broke out the steam cleaner and got to work, I removed all the old underseal that wou...

Hi all I've got some tech 1 skirts for a saloon/touring, I have a genuine rear spoiler and a genuine rear bumper. I got them with my convertible but after checking the part numbers for the skirts and trying to line then up on the car, they are nowhere near fitting my convertible. I'm not sure how mu...

Hi all

I know these are hard to find but does anyone have a tech 1 front bumper or skirts for sale

I did attack mine with a foam gun and a jet wash towards the end as it helps get it properly cleaned. The steam cleaner seems to shift the dirt around. I had a big clean up job after though but it wasn't too bad, just a lot of mopping

Hi all I'm in the process of refitting the back end, I've got the subframe back on, I've fitted the backing plates ,abs sensors. I'm hoping to get the hub and driveshafts in this weekend along with the handbrake shoes, discs , pads and callipers. I need to fit all the suspension and springs also. Th...

I started putting the rear subframe back together. I bolted the control arms to the subframe and am now waiting on the spacers from BMW and I need to spray the brackets that hold it before I can continue. 20211010_140707.jpg 20211010_140556.jpg I changed the propshaft centre bearing and the vibratio...

You’ve gotta laugh, or you’ll cry!!! Three weekends down and I’m still ‘cleaning’ the underside of the car, ready to re-do the under seal. DBA6858F-9320-43BE-90EF-20FAC85A656B.jpeg Haha I know the feeling. I think it took me about 3 months before I found the motivation to get back under it and stea...

So the week is nearly over. I've got the small bits of rust on the underside wire brushed, treated with Bilt Hamber deox gel, then epoxy primer and black hammerite sprayed on top. The next step will be to undercoat with some wurth stoneguard which will finish it off. 20211001_153410.jpg I got around...

Ready for drives in 2022

Rust bits don't look too bad on the back. Might be able to get chassis cuts for those to save having to form pieces.

I definitely hope so, fingers crossed

I've got back to work on the E30, I have a week off to get it back on the ground. IMG-20210928-WA0007.jpeg The rear is currently stripped, I bought a brake and fuel line kit made out of kunifer from eBay to replace all the lines whilst I'm there. I started bending the rear control arm lines and it s...

The E30 hasn't had much progress for the last month, I've been busy with work and bought another project so hopefully I'm going to be back on the E30 pretty soon.

A before and after, not much progress, I'm hoping to get the rest of the parts blasted this weekend. One control arm, one bracket and the large heat shield left to do.

Rear subframe is out and majority has been blasted. The rear subframe is gonna need to be cleaned up by a wire wheel and take it from there. Here are some before and after jetwashing and some 50\50 blasting. I never got any pictures after finishing the control Arms and heat shields. 20210530_163605....

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go. If I'm honest, I've been around cars since I was about 5. My uncles have garages and work on cars and commercial vehicles. I've always been interested on working on cars and restoring older cars but never really had a chance and didn't want to take that risk with ...

\[insta\]https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOuZfVLwp1/?)/\[/insta\] So I tried to get the pictures uploaded a few different ways but was unable to. I've got a new phone and the pictures are about 15 to 20mb each so they won't upload as an attachment. If anyone has any better ways. Please let me know. Any...

I cleaned the arches out yesterday and there was a huge amount of dust and dirt from the car sitting in a body shop. I did try to clean as much of the undercarriage as possible as well. IMG_20210522_172841.jpg IMG_20210522_172837.jpg I got the majority of the rear suspension off today. I wasn't plan...

Everything went back onto the front end. Not too eventful really. Now just brakes left on the front end. I'm going to move onto the rear next weekend. Starting by jet washing the arches outside as the fronts were caked in dried mud and dirt. IMG_20210516_141044.jpg IMG_20210516_141053.jpg Still a bi...

Got the arches cleaned a bit more and the suspension parts sprayed up. I'm hoping to get it back together this weekend and the car back on the ground. IMG_20210502_171007.jpg IMG_20210502_170946.jpg IMG_20210502_170952.jpg After this, I only have the braking system to refresh on the front and the Z3...

Send me a pm with a price. Thanks

Nice update

Loving the azev's, my own personal rim of choice, they look like a staggered set?

Yeah 10j rears. Once I've got the rear suspension on, I'm going to have to test fit. Will possibly need a gentle roll

Hi all. Got a bit done on the E30, all the front suspension bits are blasted and ready to be sprayed with epoxy primer and then black hammerite. Hopefully done next weekend so I can get the front suspension back together. image.jpg I've got my Z3 rack and the spacers, however I'm not sure I want to ...
