    -New front fenders (ordered)
    -New front bars, that hold the lights (ordered)
    -New cross bar (ordered)
    -New bumper (ordered)
    -Misc parts (ordered)
    etc etc, all bought from a BMW dealership.
    -Full respray

    DSC00785 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr

    DSC00783 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    Some before and after, take a wild guess on what is the after.


    DSC00782 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


    DSC00788 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    Parts car, you make know it from build thread v2
    Gonna use the control arm, that is about it. Tho using the front end parts to line up my car, then they are getting replaced with brand new oem parts.


    DSC00789 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    Parts taken off, car is headed for the scrapper.


    DSC00792 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    got the car on its front wheels, replaced the bent control arm. started doing the rear hand break.


    DSC00793 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


    DSC00804 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    rear breaks done, time to test fit the wheels. No rear camber was adjusted.

    Car up in the bench, you lock the car to the bench, then you take a measuring sled, slide it under. afterwards you build up these measuring points, shown in the next picture.
    You can also see how of the right side is.


    DSC00791 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    shown here, are the measurements, you set up a zero point, and everything works of there. You can either chose the front or the rear, in this case its the rear that is gonna be the zero point.


    DSC00817 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    with everything setup, its time to start pulling. you can see those vertical bars in front of the car, those are measuring points, you can see the right side not lining up.
    When the chain is tight and pulling the metal, you need to bash it with a hammer, to take out the stress in the metal.


    DSC00818 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


    DSC00819 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    test fitting the bar that hold the lights.


    DSC00823 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    why stop there right?


    DSC00821 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


    DSC00827 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    time to protect the bare metal.


    DSC00828 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


    DSC00829 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
    starting to work the rear fenders.


    DSC00830 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr

          DSC00844 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          Working the fender, since last photo i took a "insert correct word" and bent the metal down, afterwards went to work with a wire wheel, got all of the bmw oem sealer out, then sprayed it with red rust stopper / converter.


          DSC00842 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          Here you can see how large the fender lip is, Its NOT like that oem, its slanted up normally.


          DSC00845 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          Filled the edge with shit loads of body sealer.


          DSC00847 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          started hammering them, whilst holding another hammer on the out side, to prevent the outside metal moving to much.


          DSC00846 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          here you can see how much flatter it is, and its not even fully hammered.


          DSC00848 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          after the hammering was done, put on another layer of sealer.


          DSC00831 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          got the center back from the painter.


          DSC00832 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


          DSC00833 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          ready for sealer, used window sealer.


          DSC00834 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          sealer on.


          DSC00836 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          got the lips on, and tightened down. no good picture, but you can see the sealer here.


          DSC00835 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          one more picture because i like this one.


          DSC00862 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          got the tire on, and started test fitting.


          DSC00860 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


          DSC00856 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


          DSC00854 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          the man that owns the garage, he got my back, if i mess something up.


          DSC00851 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


          DSC00855 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr


          DSC00867 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          this is a picture with the rear spring in, its a 5" without adjuster and pads. this is gonna be close to the final ride height.


          DSC00865 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          this is why you need shorter shocks, this is a oem shock not compressed.


          DSC00866 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
          fully compressed. Its on the bump stop.
          it would hinder me from going lower, and it would ride like a doo doo. would be bouncing on the bump stops.

          enough picture whoring for the moment. will post more, as progress goes on.

                      Thanks for the kind words.
                      Dont have the brocks, one was bent when he crashed the car.

                      Got the other fender done, and sealed the front of the car.


                      DSC00871 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      A before picture, cant see the measuring tho its about 13-15mm


                      DSC00868 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr


                      DSC00872 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      mmm rust.


                      DSC00875 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      You can see from my thumb to the vertical part of the fender. Is a thick part of oem bmw sealer, when they rolled the fender before. they did not remove it, thus the fender being 15mm thick.


                      DSC00876 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr


                      DSC00877 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      started with the wire wheel.


                      DSC00879 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      getting cleaner.


                      DSC00878 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      cleaned, ready for rust stopper / converter.


                      DSC00880 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      sprayed.


                      DSC00881 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      found more rust were the rear bumper sits, what a perfect time to fix it.


                      DSC00883 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      started sealing the front. while the rear fender dried.


                      DSC00882 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr


                      DSC00884 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      smeared the body sealer were i removed the oem bmw sealer off. the oem sealer was removed off to do some metal work.


                      DSC00885 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      i also removed the sealer of on the right side, to inspect for rust. and there was non. So it got resprayed and sealed.


                      DSC00886 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      smearing the old rust spot.


                      DSC00887 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      here i have already smeared it on the inside fender lip, and formed the fender lip like a U. you can see how nicely the filler is in there, i inspected and decided to put more sealer in.


                      DSC00888 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      fender hammered flat. You can see the sealer got up and above the lip.


                      DSC00889 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      more sealer applied.


                      DSC00890 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      and smeared out.


                      DSC00891 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      fender is about 4-6mm now, success.


                      DSC00893 by J.Djurhuus, on Flickr
                      Who ever said progress is a slow process, wasn't talking about me. I'm a p i m p

                          Great job. Nice to see I'm not the only one who had to bend his fenders back and scrape out the sealing crap to get maximum clearance, lol.

                          You're doing great there. Can't wait to see where this goes.

                          Will the car get repainted once you're done with all the body work? What color?

                            Thanks.
                            It will get repainted in mauritus blau.

                            Got a loads of pictures to upload, but flicker wont allow me, keeps saying i need to upgrade the account, or else i wont be able to see the last 200 pictures, does anyone know if i can keep uploading, and my old pictures that i have already uploaded and linked in my thread will still be showing?

                            Tho, the new pictures include a huge hole in the floor and new parts that i got today, and will be test fitted as well.
