Morning, some of you may have seen the post on Facebook; after a 9 year hiatus I'm back working on my e30.

The car started life as a terminal rusty tech 1 sport that I re-shelled into a 'clean' £300 316i shell. That was something like 15 years ago, 9 of which the car has been stored in a barn in Cornwall. Safe to say, the clean shell is no longer as shiny...

Plan is to strip the whole car down to see what we have. Hopefully it savable, if not I guess another re-shell is on the cards.

Here's a few pics of some of the worst bits I've found so far (more in the next post):

One thing I am worried about is the roof/sunroof, I'll dig a few photos out.

More to follow, welcome anyone's thoughts on the rust!
