Well I think the weather cursed me today, I cut some rust out of the driver floor board and nipped the frame rail. So thats more work for me.

But I drive a 97 Bmw 740, slightly lowered. I have been to a few bmw meets and stuff but I dont get up to Atl that often.

Short update today.

I pulled up the carpet on the drivers side and found very little rust, no big deal. So I was rushing a little and cut it out. After I was done I noticed that not only had I cut the frame rail but I cut a hard fuel line. Remember, always look before you cut.

Pics of the frame welded back up and the hole I cut out.





I need to clean up the welds tomorrow and then make a filler plate, Im pretty pissed at myself now. FFFUUUUUUUU

Today I made a plate to tie the frame back to the floor board, and welded that in.



After that made a plate to fill in the hole that was left.



Thats about it, I was going to prep my spare well but my sandblaster is acting up. But I think this is next.



Boring update I know but its getting pretty close to paint, and then its all downhill from there.
