What do u guys think, isnt she a beauty? Donated by Urbancowboy a few months ago.

Yeah its stunning mate.
what you got planned for it,petrol and lighter?

Would make a good soap box car.

No its not!

Makes the one behind it look like a reall sh***r. lol

It WILL BE REPAIRED...... Watch this space over the next 10 years, haha!!!

Give it a drop, put some alpina reps on and your nearly there!

the o/s doors still shiny, i like that bit of the car the most!!!!! It also has more leg room due to lack of anything at all inside. Oh and the log book says its a lux model.... I guess thats what the 1 inch deep puddle is for in the footwell, makes a lovely footspa!

Scuttle repair panel needed, anyone got one???

saw something similar on scrapheap chalenge

has the roof been diped in sea water for 20 years

brand new scuttle panel from bmw with the chasis number ingraved in for you costs £45

thanks mate, will give them a buzz on payday (spent too much this month on skips to get all the shit out of the garage. so i can get round it....) then the real sweat and blood will start..... URBANCOWBOY better get his arse over here and help me rub/weld and paint this heap he gave me or i will post pics on here of his new beamer and make him the most unpopular person on E30 zone.

It would be cheaper to buy buy a good shell surely ?

But far less fun

possibly, but wheres the fun it that?????

Its in the garage and the roof is done now, i ground the corrosion away on the top of the roof and hammered the areas down to make large dents. I mig welded patches in and fibreglassed over the top. On the underside i rubbed down the corrosion and used a dremil multitool to grind away those awkward areas. Next i painted the inner roof with zinc primer and then a coat of hammerite to seal everything. Need a new roof lining though, i want a non sunroof lining as i may do away with the sunroof altogether and weld a plate in. Then fireglass again.
sorry took no pictures as the garage was full of rubbish and i didnt have space to breath.

Been talking with a guy from work who i got the car off, think we decided on tech 2 bodykit, painted white with warsteiner graghics. As its only a 316 a rover v8 conversion is on the books but havent made our minds up yet. (we work in a landrover garage)

P.S. We dont like our jobs !!!!!!!!

What a turd!

Pacerpete would be proud of the ingenuity

Now that IS a minter!

F##k me - someone's been on the brave pills!!

Got my garage emptied over the weekend so im ready to rock and roll. Im picking up my new welder and compressor tomorrow as my old ones have seen better days. Its not as big a job as it looks, i was a mechanic for 11 years and now i run the workshop so i know what im doing honest.....
Watch this space, work starts tomorrow.

scottidog

You are a sick, sick man scottidog

Thats just cosmetic rust compared to the 1957 Plymouth im doing, I nicked named her Flintstone as there was no floor, boot or cills to speak of and that was the better bits of the car lol Have fun will be worth it in the end.

will it be ready for pod?

domt worry mate, its all under control

I take my hat off to you Scottidog - you've got vision, confidence and massive balls!! Can't wait to see the finished article.

Thanks jim its good to see not everyone thinks im crazy, tool supplier let me down, i now have to wait til next week for my new mig Gutted and dont want to go no further without it. Promise more pics next week with progress. Things will move much quicker with my new mig and compressor.

the garage is nearly ready, decided to throw more junk out at the back and move the workbench on the left to the back wall. also the boxes on the left are wheels for an mx5 so need to get them fitted on the other car bofore i carry on to make more space also.




plenty of room in there for a little old e30, also have a large shed in the back garden for parts storage and insect contamination.

URBAN COWBOY I GOT THIS CAR FOR FREE OFF YOU. HOWEVER ITS COST ME A FORTUNE IN SKIPS TO CLEAR THIS GARAGE OUT. I KNOW YOUR WATCHING SILENTLY.

I think he must live in a salt mine or something looking at the corrosion haha (its not as bad as it looks)

Every 'real' man should have a Black and Decker workbench in their garage, even if it's seldom used - you've got two! Grrrrrrrrr..
