318I project - wedling

[Eadiemcreadie]

Hi All

I got given my grandparents 1991 E30 318I when then they stopped driving.

Upon stripping bits down to look at the body work, i've found the entire shell needs a lot of welding work to make it MOT worthy again. All four wings/wheel arches, holes in the floor and boot, pretty much all the common places are now holes. The boot even had a puddle in it.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do as, whilst i can do mechanical, i cant do/dont trust myself with body work.

If i'm keeping it, I'd like to keep the car original and at the very least get i though an MOT. Any good welders in the Nottingham area?

Or sell it for parts?

Ideas please

Tom

depends on what the value is emotionaly
Personally i would strip it and buy another with less rot as yours sounds to be very bad

Thats the thought process i'm on. Grandparents don't have much of an attatchment to it and the costs out weigh the finished car i'd say.

Might be advertising parts on here soon then
