Perhaps I am biased, but old BMW's do have a certain appeal, just a shame that the early ones rust so much
Look forward to another E12 project if you do

Perhaps I am biased, but old BMW's do have a certain appeal, just a shame that the early ones rust so much They really do. I don't know what it is about them, but I love the E3, E9, E12, E23, E24 and E28. This whole era of BMWs are all absolutely lovely cars. E3 is even harder to get hold of but I do like them My uncle had a 2500 and a 3.0si in the '70s. I was only a small kid at the time but I loved them! I haven't seen one for a decade though. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) David

curse word steamed up camra from the cold is is metalic sliver gray same as original, no satin black on this car ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Hi john hopeing to take it to Limes on 19th if I can get it finished in time ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) All done with a small calor gas heater and a hot air paint stripper gun to heat panels before painting. Tony you should feel guilty it was your M353 and a few others on here that made me want a BMW in the first place ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Thanks mate only ripping through it due to snow on roofs so carn't do much work ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . So today I wanted to finish the welding, started with the front inner wing started like this ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture061-2.jpg) moved everything out of the way and it finished up like this ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture111.jpg) drivers side inner arch, bigger patch than expected ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture112.jpg) Then went to look at the passenger side sill front, it had a 2p size hole in it so I cut it back to good metal ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture107-1.jpg) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture108-1.jpg) Ended up alot bigger than planned so started to weld it up, first plate on ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture109-1.jpg) On the plus side the colour match seems good ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture110-1.jpg) even with the heater the garage is still cold ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) So list of jobs to do looks like this .hand brake still jamming (Passenger side sorted) .drivers side carpet needs fitting .front of passengers sill needs rebuilding (started) .drivers side carpet needs fitting .wheel refurb .Paint (started) .MOT I think the list is getting smaller ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
