This is a long shot, but does anybody know where to get replacement floor panels or pieces from for an e30? Just need a couple of small pieces
Thanks

Hi Bob, no one makes repair sections, and I'm not sure you can get whole panels in these areas from BMW. I could cut some sectoins out for you, but not the front corners (under the accelerator, and corresponding opposite side) as these are shot on the shells I have.
HTH, cheers Byron

At what point does a car become a patchwork quilt?
Nice handywork.

An E30 that has not made friends with a welder is a very,very rare beast!

Are there any points on the car that are terminal if they have tin worm? Roof springs to mind, and what about the inner rear arches?
Expensive fixes or an indication of a motor in terminal decline?

Scuttle is difficult and expensive to sort properly,the bubbles/holes in the corners under the windscreen are just the start,the area under the fuse box really needs the fusebox(which is attached the the main body loom)removing to sort properly.
Roof?
Bubbles just to the rear of the sunroof mean the sunroof tray has rotted through to the roof skin,it is possible to replace the roof skin,but be seated when asking BMW for a parts price,and be prepared for a long hunt for a bodyman prepared to take the job on.
There are still out there E30's with decent,sound bodyshells,the problem is;
1,Finding them
2,Talking their owners into selling.

Cheers mate, thanks for the tips.
I've read the wiki buyers guide and plan to follow it to the letter, but this kind of advice is invaluable. I don't ever expect to have any money in my pocket when I finally get an E30, and this is becoming more an more obvious with every passing day.
It'll be fun.....

The reason it got that intense is that some idiots idea of repairing a bit of rot was to slam a patch over it from the inside and slapped a load of silicon on the outside.
So the rot just travelled into different areas,the only way to sort it is cut it out and rebuild it.
Got the other side to do this weekend.
It`s all good fun
