I'm more than willing to muck in- be it trying to sort an m40, or cabletying on spoilers

Currently trying to move to the Borders, so up in the air at the moment. and I dont have either of my e30's on the road

give me a month or so,and it'll all be a-ok!

the arch ..... ive ordered a repair panel but it's not arrived yet "it's only been 4 week's!"

[riklusby]

Im in Kirkcaldy, ive got a not bad selection of tools and hammers/various prybars and a mig, ive also got a dry lock up with a calor gas heater if anyone needs things doing in this weather ?? my cars stored in there too so it would have to be evenings or weekends but i usually have time. ive got experience in most things mechanical on E30 apart from stripping engine/gearbox and ive replaced a few panels and scuttles in my time too

you would need to strip that back to see where the rust stops and the decent metel starts to get an idea of how much welding is involved in it but it is easily done though if a bit time consuming.

i dont mind doing welding for anybody its no problem.

the inner arch is a bit easier to do as it dosent need to be as pretty as the outer bodywork does

doing the full rear quarter isnt something to take lightly as its a bit tricky to do and get the old one off without damaging anything else underneath.

[320iAN]

Wullie, i'm waiting on a lower arch/quarter repair panel, the rust look's/feel's like it stop's just about 20mm along under the paint, ive had the rear inside trim out and it does'nt affect the rear inner arch, look's like a section of about 3" could be ground off and a section cut from the repair panel, peiced back in?

all going to plan, it should be mot'd this month and i'll beable to use it for the meet in feb?

yeah if its just the outside its good news and a pretty easy repair using some of the new metal from the repair panel

[riklusby]

Had a look at a thread a while back on replacing rear quarter parts, didnt look too hard to do, same as with most jobs though, 80% of the work is in the measuring and prepping of the job ! dont have this problem with mine anymore, i cut all my arches off and welded the rear outers and inners together again further up then sealed and waxoiled

its not the hardest job in the world its getting it spot on thats the hard bit.

[riklusby]

Without blowing my own trumpet, ive been fitting kitchens for over 15 years now (not that its got anything to do with welding) but working to the millimeter is everyday stuff as is measure 10 times and cut once but dont worry guys, if i dont think im up to the job ill say so

im fairly flexiable work from home at the moment so im there 99% of the time plus im studying so im never far away

[e30mtech]

there is a chance i may be getting an entire 325 in the near future, the shell is rotten supposedly but engine should be fine, would anyone be into lending a hand and space to do the conversion if possible as not really clued up when it comes to bmw's.

[jbh]

if you can get it over to my end im willing to lend a hand

[wullie325i]

yeah me too!

[jbh]

thought youd be up for that awell wullie btw just to let scottish zoners know i can get cheap car transport and recovery in the central area my mates got a couple of wagons plus hell take away scrapers

[garyp_E30_325i]

I may have some welding to do in a few weeks (when my roll cage arrives), I'm trying to get a friend (who's a welder) to do a homer, if that doesn't work out I'll be looking for an alternative. If so, I'll give you a shout.
