Fcuking mud trapping rust holes!!! - FIXED!!! YIPPEE

[Widge]

Found this on my car, looked ok cos of the underseal etc. seems mud gets between the wheel arch liner and sits in the bottom, then as there is a drain hole too it fills up with water from around the door
AAAhhhhhhhhgggggggg


Oh well out to the shed to make a repair panel from an old bisley filing cabinet!! At least it's not a whol wing job, and yes I have checked!!

[dj]

Yep been there dude!! First time I washed my new pride and joy I ended up with two large holes in the same place!! Still I thought..Thinks could be worse!!! then about a month later someone pulled out in front of me and complety smashed the wing to bits!!!! ha.ha ) ( I can laugh about it now!!)

[bullitt]

Would it not be a better idea to replace the wing instead of bodging it..

Powerwash all the muck traps treat with rust inhibitor and plenty of waxoyl...

[Widge]

How much is a new wing?? Just thought Id' do it on the cheap cos I is a student

[Simon13]

get one from a scrappy or breaker thats not rusty and wait for funds to get them sprayed

[Martinaston]

Peanuts Ԛ£21 but they can be a pain to get the shut lines spot on.

[Widge]

Where do I get one for Ԛ£21??????!!!!!!
Most of the ones in the scrappy rusty, and not many E30's to choose from in my scrappy.

[Widge]

Just been on the GSF web sit and th front wings are Ԛ£21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For that I think I'll buy one and just chop off the bit I need so I don't have to have the whole wing resprayed.

[Simon13]

pattern wings are sh!te, but if painted well should last a fair amount of time

[craigieeb]

i got 2 replacment wings from E.C.P never again i tell you, the amount of time i spent on each wing trying to get it to fit right with a rubber mallet was totaly rediculess, talk about a bad fit, some of the holes that bolt it to the car still dont match up properly.

[Widge]

I'm not going to bother replacing the whole wing I'll just chop some repair panels out of itnstead of making shitty ones my self and having to cover it in filler.

[Widge]

Right got a wing from GSF it was dented too so I got a discount!!
Cut out the cancer, it was unbelieveibly rusty but only in odd patches strange. Why didn't they galavinise them like the Audis.
THE BAD

THE GOOD!

Not bad and won't be seen much anyway, luckily the other side is not rusty at all.

And no I didn't, that patch on the wing was there when I bought it!! Can't be bothered to cut it off and tidy it up though, another time maybe.

[Simon13]

it's the wrong colour

[Widge]

Ha fcuking Ha you joker.
I was going to have some bits of paint work touched up any way.

[Simon13]

he he. Um whats the link to the mini steering wheel all about aswell?! obviously selling it, have u got an adaptor too, so it fits on an E30?

[Widge]

Nope I'm afraid it only fits a mini, couldn't be bothered to find an adaptor and its quite small any way would make parking quite difficult (when I disconnect my power steering) There's a guy called 1275 somthing on here who has minis too, thought he might be interested.

[Demlotcrew]

Get some paint on there, and post the pics!

[Widge]

Will do, its fcuking raining and my car is blocked by an ITV film crew in so I can't get it to the sprayers today.
