i don't really know anything about the price of spare parts and stuff have you found it expensive??

There are a heap of wreckers around Brisbane that have plenty of stock, but from my experience it's still pretty expensive. BMWreckers in Rocklea and there's a new one on the Gold Coast somewhere that seems to have pretty good stock.

i am looking at the exact same model but in gold over here in aus.

You're making me want to go fix the dents in my wagon. Amazing work so far!

[Zic]

Oyght, so i don't have any pictures when the lower corners were welded back on. But i have some after there was filler applied.

Lower right corner, welded and filler applied. Sorry for the shaky photo.


Lower left corner, here a section of metal was replaced as well. Due to rust.


A photo showing the work done on the quarter panel. This is not final yet, non of the bondo work is done yet.


And of course, if you noticed something from the last page. I like test fitting stuff, to make sure everything is correct. This is just him holding it in place.


Here is the old tail panel, it's standing vertically those two holes are for the bumper mounting. So all of this weird rust was under the bumper.


Here he is working out the dent on the hood. This was done about 5days ago.


Another view. A friend came by, so he helped me in removal of the heater core.


After he knocked the dent down, he applied a light coat of filler.


Sanding it down even.


And the hood was done. After this photo i applied some primer on the metal spots.


I bought two new oem front fenders. And of course they had to be rolled flat. Her he is, hammering them.


Before we started, i measured them. At around 8-9mm.


As mentioned, this was all done by a hammer. He went very slowly from one end to the other. after a few passes the lip was all the way down. The best part about it, is he didn't even bend the outside even a little bit. So its all oem looking and no filler was added. Can't ask for more than that.


And i had to measure again, a shitty photo i know. But its around 3mm now. So 5 to 6mm clearance was added to the front.


Then i hit them up with primer.


A little bit on the outside of the fender as well.


Here is a picture, where you can see the transition from rolled to normal. If you look at the top then downwards you can see the transition point. Big difference in clearance, fender was not rolled all the way down, to avoid the potential of it getting warped.


This here also was about 5days ago. I stated to take out the interior to check for rust. I labeled all of the wires as well.


Carpet out, oh boy was it soaking wet. And I know that means trouble.


I noticed a few places, three to be exact that did not look too good. So i hit them with a hammer a few times, and YAAAAAAAAAAAAY what do you know. Holes. And another blurry/shaky photo. this is the left front corner.



You can just make out were the hole is. Its by the wires.



That is pretty much were I am with the car at the moment. So tomorrow I'm either gonna start fixing the holes in the floor. Or removing the exhaust, so i can get better access to start sealing up everything in the rear and the front fenders. We will see what I'm in the mood for.

good work.

Thanks man.

Great work man. You would never have guess it was so rusty from the pics, looked so clean. Glad you're taking care of it now though, will be so nice when you're finished!

Thanks man. Yeah some of the rust that I've found, surprised me.
