Unbolt your front wing and use a hammer to remove that dent.

[GrindCulture]

Take it all to pieces, make a picture on the grass Art Attack style, put it back together, hope it still works.

break it and sell the bits on ebay 1. it gives you something to do and 2. you earn some cash the only downside to this plan is you havent got a car to get you to your new job

if you intend to keep it for a long time start finding and attacking the rust the starting point when looking for work on any e30!

you can just give everything a bit of a clean up mate, like back to clack the bumpers, paint the chrome window edgingas black, dying the carpet, sparay the steelies black, theres loads of little things mate

[silverE30]

im never out of a job to long, if so i always deal my way through till one pops up, i will be honest with you lot ive had 15 cars in 2yrs non ive recked i just get bored and move on i never seem to keep a car for no longer than 3 months, my parents seem to think i have a serious problem lol, but im gonna try my hardest to keep this one. so stripping it is of the list im afraid david lol, btw there no rust at the mo and shudnt be as ive just coated her with Tetra Schutz underbody protection. so fingers crossed, oh were the most likely parts to rust on it aswell just to make sure ive got the coated

cheers springy

[david106]

I want to sort my rust out only surface at the moment do you just paint over with schultz or do you have to prep it first

[silverE30]

sand it down first mate the slap that all over it

[david106]

will it stop the rust spreading

[Brianmoooore]

Don't use schultz on a BMW!! That stuff's intended for Fords, Vauxhalls and French shite!
Hardens after a few years, then forms an all over water trap.
Polyurethane sealant (PU) is what you need for an E30.

Is this like the gray stuff that you can spray on and it stays as a strange rubbery deep textured thing?

I think the bloke that did the wings on my jeep used this. i'd love to know where it came from.

[silverE30]

cheers for that info brain the stuff does seem abit pants but i used it as it was free from a mate, will let the shultz sink in for a month then give it a coat of PU. lol

[Brianmoooore]

Once you've put Schultz on, nothing else with take on it, other than other oil based stuff. Every trace of it has to come off. If I find that stuff on an E30 for sale, my chances of buying it are zero.

[silverE30]

well the car had underbody protection b4 on it some sort of Tar looking stuff i just put schutz on top just to make sure there was gonna be no rust in the future

[stevo]

for cheap diy's, you could take the sticker off the rear screen and remove the 3**i badge?

[silverE30]
