nice job mate, very impressive, good to see another one saved
Thanks for the encouragement. It's failed the MOT on corroded rear brake lines. I'm having them rebuilt next Wednesday.
Bought a few bits ready for the job.

Angel eyes and clear lenses look rather nasty.mathew325 wrote:nice start mate im not a big fan off angel eyes on e30
I've put them on and quite like the look of the lenses. I'm not a fan of smoked ones but I guess it's all subjective. I know everything I do won't be met with approval

So long as you know that, it's all good, most people just get their knickers in a twist when they are told 'that looks rubbish'/'keep it standard'.Craggy73 wrote:I know everything I don't won't be met with approval

The work you have done so far looks spot on, keep up the hard work pal.

I was bored and decided to remove the body kit. O/S outer rear arch now added to the shopping list. The inner doesn't look too bad but the rain has postponed a proper investigation.

- Inner rear arch

That's all the usual suspect area's
Have you had a look at your inner arches yet?
What welder set up are you using? I'm no expert but you look like you are running out of gas with the action on the floor.
Cut it, grind it, burn it, weld it.

You mean the inner rear arches? The previous dodgy repair on the n/s is being replaced with a proper panel. Not checked the o/s properly yet.scott180gtb wrote:That's all the usual suspect area's

Yep, the gas has gone! I'm such a cowboy!
I was lucky and could cut just below the screen. Used a couple of 10p's to hold the seal out of the way.vish-mr2 wrote:Nice restore project dude! Did you have to remove the windscreen/seals to get that rust hole on the scuttle sorted?
I absolutely love it! Looks great manCraggy73 wrote:Having always liked the E30 I bought this in October.

Took off the n/s front wing today.
Fortunately, there were only a couple of rust spots.
I also vacuumed the carpet and gave it a good scrub. Plan on dying it black.
