Hi,
Has anyone ever got their jacking points repair/replaced. How much welding is needed and do I need to remove MTech side panels and inside interior. Just wondering how much I need to do myself before getting the welding done. I realise I put the new sill cover on and probably should not have until this was done.
Happy New Year by the way!
Regards
Richard

What jacking points are you referring to? The front jacking points normally referred to on here are the ones where the front bulkhead curves to become the floorpan, which have no further practical use after the car left the factory production line. These can be totally removed and the area repaired with smooth metal with no ill effect, or can be reconstructed if you wish to preserve the OE look.

If you mean the ones Brian's referring to then have a look at valcas garage (Norway) they do repoduction ones amongst other various e30 body panels.
But as Brian says they are useless now so if they need replacement then just plate it up smooth & your good to go.

if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
