Out of interest, just having a look to see who can do rust repairs on e30s in the southern parts of uk

When i say rust, a little neglect on my touring and its slightly rotten
I need the floor (up to drivers door piller) to the front chassis leg (lollipop mouting) replaced.

Anyone have any experience in this?

What you're describing is the infamous Jacking Points (which aren't at all.) Probably the most common rust spot on an E30.

Any half decent welder will be able to sort that.

EDIT: Pages 2 and 3 of my Resto thread have photos of floor repairs.
