Looks like "Long Term" projects are popping up everywhere
E30's will be here for another 20+ years

Especially north of the wall.

All projects little scrapping up here.

[scott10]

Fingers crossed I can save this one. Alot of time and a lot of welding

[jimbom30cab]

Great project there, well done mate, hope to see lots of progress on here

[shedrool83]

It's all fixable will just take time and effort and £££, but if you see it out it you will be able to look back and say i did that.

[Robbo-80]

Good luck, as Jack says it'll be good to see it coming together.

[scott10]

I will keep updating with everything I do. Goin to start it 2mrw

[jimbom30cab]

my advise for what it's worth is get stuck in there mate, cut out all that rusty stuff and then fabricate and weld in new metal. Then send it off to the body boys to make it look like new

Surprised you didn't mention M30

Looks like an adventure to me not a project...in a good way.

I would just change the front valance, I think magpie or adit on here may have some floating around would be tonnes easier for you and it might be in the right colour as well and/or post in wanted section...

Bit of t-cut should cut it lol.

Best of Luck and keep the updates coming...

[scott10]

I'm goin to get stuck in and then do all the body work myself as done a bit of painting in the past and not too bad at it

[scott10]

I'm going to be fitting 2 new sills 2 rear arches 2 wings and new valance then in to paint

That's good, is that all the rust on the car? Or just so far??

Its not a Motorsport is it? Otherwise there would be holes in the sides for the skirting.

Nice colour as well.

[scott10]

There is holes in the side for skirting

[Tan91]

Ah yes I've seen them now.

Buddy - get a breaker / wanted add on here, and get another pedal mount that's not rusty or rust hidden under it, cut it out - then re fabricate it in to your floor and totally eradicate that rust, its not too hard a job , don't do all the hard work and patch up bits like that leaving rust lurking, get the whole car finished before you do paint, your gonna need a lot more than them cple of panels you listed , take your time, but good luck with it looks like a great project and fair play for saving it , and get stacks if new bolts and fittings etc for the re build don't do all that hard work and put rusty fittings back on, my car was no where near as rusty as that but still blown 600 off on fittings n small parts

[scott10]

Well got the rear bumper off to day to find a small hole and got the dash out to find some more holes but one good thing I no the car will be gd when I get her finished
