Thanks dude. Still needs a lot but im stoked on the progress. No problem! glad it went to you.



Keep it! youll regret it. Thanks man!






Im so glad I took the time to check it and fix it. Took maybe two hours running to the parts store back and forth but so worth it. Lol your paint and body is better


Fixed my coolant leak and gave her a bath. Literally such a small gasket. Leaked on my old car and realized these two pictures may have been taken fixing the same issue. some things never change.

Tried the Airtex in tank pump, but the hard fuel lines that come out the top of it hit the stock sending unit, which doesn't allow the sending unit to seal completely, so now if I fill up all the way gas spews out of the top of the fuel pump.

Damn dude. I have yet to have an issue with my vega pump. Not sure if its different for a 6 series, or even a m30 vs m20, but it hasnt died on me like it did before since i replaced it.

Okay I know ive talked about fixing the quarter panel for almost a year now. Well its finally happening. To an extent anyway. It will be primed until I can get the paint somewhat matched and have that quarter sprayed but knowing it will be fixed alone will make me so damn happy. It has gotten much worse since I bought the car a little over a year ago and its really starting to show. So getting it dealt with before the snow and all makes it better as well. I went out and took some pics. Talked to the guy who is doing it locally as well and felt way better about it after going into detail with the plan. Seems that he is going to have to sand/break it all off and reapply. It sounds like we may try pushing the panel a little farther out too. My biggest concern was rust forming underneath but we popped a small piece off and it looks much better than I expected. He will sand off the surface rust that im sure has formed somewhat and then go to work fixing it. Thatll take place the first weekend of next month.


here is the piece we popped off




underneath. really curious to see the shape of the metal after its all off. I see some surface rust but this piece in particular is bubbled out making me think that water would sit inside that pocket causing that.


















There is also a small spot by the rear window. I pulled up the seal and sanded/primed underneath. Hoping we can fix this as well but not concerned as much as the quarter. This can wait and I think I could take this spot on alone if he doesnt do it.





The trunk had a huge spot as well that I dont think I posted a while back. It was spread along the trunk for maybe 16 inches. I took the DA I have and went to sand town on it. Threw some primer on that as well and checked it out last night. Doesnt look like anything is spreading since I did it so thats good its hard to see but you can make out the spot with the primer.








also took some iphone pics of the interior since I feel like I never post it.


















And gave her one last goood bath before the bad weather rolls in. even though ill probably wash it again in a week.

[BrandonMcKiernan]

took some pics of my buddys e36 and my car as well. His came out wayyyyy more clear. Here are a few anyway.

[SnazzyQ]

Holy shit that e36 is amazing.

[OEM+ sluts]

I'll be watching the progress on that quarter panel...
unfortunately I'll be performing a very similar repair in the near future

[cblock406]

Not feeling your buddy's E36, your car on the other hand looks Great! Enjoyed going through your thread, great work and good luck on the QP!

Some cars arent for everyone. it happens to be one of my favs. Thanks dude! hoping it turns out okay. Really curious to see the damage underneath the bondo.



Halloween means black and white photos right?

[BrandonMcKiernan]

After a full year and a half almost, i finally nutted up and got the body work started from a buddy. For the size of the area, I felt very uncomfortable doing it myself. The buddy im having to it for me works for a body shop and the progress shows within that. But of course, we had to break some off for fun before it started to get fixed.

The dynamat I thought was just there for no reason before was actually behind a spot that was cut and welded on the car, im assuming from when it was fixed the first time.





you can see the spot here.







He sent me progress pics this morning and i stole the black and white one off his snapchat.













Im hoping to have it back tomorrow with primer SO SO happy its getting done. Going to take one of the huge chunks that we broke off into a local paint specialties location and have them get the color matched as close as possible and then try to get it painted in the next few months. Will post more progress later!

[Robitussin]

I'm so glad to see you're finally getting that fixed. Hope you can get the paint matched good. Also, i sent you a PM.
