fallen in love with this convertible... also RUST SIGNS??

[m4xos]

i purchased a 2.5 cab from a friend who left it for dead in his garden,

just needs new hub and new petrol tank,

drove it earlier and its AMAZING!

just has 2 dents in the rear wings....

i did plan to break it but since sitting in it, smelling it, i absolutely love it, I LOVE IT!!

just need to find someone whos breaking a cab with mint rear wings to cut off!!

i never thought of myself driving a convertible as always thought its girly, but im impressed! the engine is MINT!!

Where is the common signs of rust on a cab? i cant see any rust apart from where the paint has flaked off from the dent!!

What are going to do with the interior Max lol

[m4xos]

well dont want the front seats/ steering wheel etc,

its just toooo good to break and then scrap!!! im sure there are many e30zone members that would be happy with this decision!!

The cab I had was 90% rust free but had a rust patch under one of the rear lights,sills dont seem to rust much,but most of the ones I have seen rust in most of the same places any e30 rust like the arches and a couple of bits in the engine bay

[Rodderz]

No! You go with it! It wont be long and it will be spring!

the sills were done on this 5 months ago and are mint!!

[m4xos]

Whoaa! Lamp post action!

lol, i was behind him when he did it!! 5 mph into a lampost resulted in that!!

Damn max, you seem to be getting a nice collection of e30s there

[m4xos]

yes im trying lol, only 21 and have had 8 e30's so far, kept all the decent 1's tho!

why not speak beardymat and see if he can recommend a way of straightening the panels that are there

[m4xos]

beardymat, pm him yeah?

he's the "kiddie" when it comes to panel beating then?

[steerfromtherear]

Im pretty sure he'd say cut and replace them. Its not really a diy job imo but do-able.

more like the Daddy... but you've got the idea

[madaboutthe30]

Yhh as far as I understand he has his own bodyshop or am I mistaken. He has an awesome thread where he restored a 325i sport that was wrecked.

Found it below:

Let us know what he says, Im quiet curious how he would tackle that.
