good job mate, its nicer to have gen bmw metal and a proper job, look nicer in the history with the reciepts too, i bought parts 6 and 7 myself for mine
im not sure its possible to do that, or youd even want to, the way that inner part joins with the outer forming the "lip" rust starts in between the 2 laters and rusts from inside out, chances are if the inners need doing there will be some issues there even if its not showing yet, and to go to the trouble of doing the inners, you just aswell so the full job properly, or just plate the inners and wait for the outers to start going and do it thenCraggy73 wrote:I asked about those inner arches at my local dealership as well today. Definitely need to do my passenger side but ideally want to do it without tampering with the outer arch.
Keep up the good work!
I've ordered a pair of outer arches yesterday. Having seen some rust on the drivers side, I thought it best to do both. Get as much new metal on the car as I can.polsta wrote:im not sure its possible to do that, or youd even want to, the way that inner part joins with the outer forming the "lip" rust starts in between the 2 laters and rusts from inside out, chances are if the inners need doing there will be some issues there even if its not showing yet, and to go to the trouble of doing the inners, you just aswell so the full job properly, or just plate the inners and wait for the outers to start going and do it then
best way mate , i had to bite the bullet and do mine when 1 didnt really need doing and the other was on its way , the inners had had repairs, couldnt do a full job on the car and leave them like that so had to do it, least it will be like new

Sorry, not looking at selling it as it's getting the bodywork tidied up soon - if I can find the guy I'm after to do it.

Sadly I don't own one yet, I came on to look for common problems and try and find one that was owned in the pastpetchy wrote:aye ive got 3 e30's in south shields. dont go to jarra much for fear of getting car jacked at a set of traffic lights!!BFC wrote:i never noticed how many E30's kick about local to me i've noticed about 4 or 5 of you guys alone in this thread, i've only seen one 316i kicking about!!![]()

I'm hoping to have one by April/May,
I will steal one of yours if you ever drive through jarrow haha
Im offshore at the moment, but will have one for sale next time im home(mid feb - mid march). cheapy cheap- but does need some work. I only bought it a week before I came away so do not know the extent of work required- bought it on a whim when I really shouldnt have! so will be selling it on.BFC wrote: I'm hoping to have one by April/May,

You're getting yourself mixed up here Liam, that sort of thing happens in Hebburn.petchy wrote:dont go to jarra much for fear of getting car jacked at a set of traffic lights!!![]()

Maybe we should look at a Tyneside meet later in the year? These's never many at Teesside Park, but more turned up at the Sage a couple of years ago
