This car is awesome, I love just how simple everything is... That 87 Graphite color example was great I like the Blue but your new choice is just as nice. Good luck with all the rust work, I haven't seen a build thread yet with such extensive photos and its actually nice to scroll through them all. Your english isnt bad either! #subscribed

After long time no updates I got a few, meanwhile i did also a lot of other things but I'm gonna post it when they are completely ready.
So, I'm gonna pick it up where I last left, did a visit to BMW for ordering panels.
I got the front from the previous owner but unfortunately it was not the right panel , the hole for the radiator is not correct, probably for a 4 cilinder.
As you can see:
Quick testfit:
And a right rear inner wheelhouse panel, left one I had already:
Also did a little trip to Netherlands after some secondhand parts:
And ordered products for the bodywork, welding primer, antirust primer, sealer kits and underbody coating:
Cut some other panels out too:
Then some rust repair:
Cut out:
Buyed a bunch of metal of another E12 to had the correct form for the repair panel:
Cut out what I need but the rust devil attacked it too:
Repaired:
Welded in, do not pay attention to the weldings, this is the first time that I do bodywork:
Weldings grinded flat:
Primered (also the edges with welding primer but not a pic of it) :
Treated the engine supports while it was open:
And extra protection with underbody coating, grey is welding primer:
New panel:
And welded in:
Till next time!

@ Suburuuh: Dank u!
Some more body updates, removed the glue of the sound isolations and kit on both wheelhouses in the engine bay:
(call me a freak )
then to the splash wall, at the bottom there was a little hole, cut it out and welded it up on the inside:
above the steering column there was much more rust:
the whole wall rustfree:
inside the car same story:
little repair on the frame rail:
many more rust attack will follow!

Damn, you've got lot's of things ahead of you
Respect for the effort, hard work and dedication!Lucas
