After sitting in a shed for the last ten years this car is in for a full strip down and rebuild
Engine bay looking a little tired
Strip down begins
Mounted to a trolley
Front panel is removed and paint strip begins
New front panel fitted, wings and doors trial fitted
Genuine BMW panels used
Starting to cut out the rust
New panel in place
Next onto the rust in the front floor / bulkhead
Onto the lower rear wing area- rusted area cut away
New panel clamped in place
And welded in
Front lower rear wing / sill
Passenger sill had rotted around the trim mounting holes but was otherwise in great shape with just a little surface rust, so localised repairs are carried out
Passenger side floor / bulkhead had been plated previously and required similar repairs to the drivers side.
Once finished the underside is coated with epoxy mastic and then an anti-stonechip coating ready for paint.
