    Another few weekends and some semi-solid progress on the E36 :rocker: I'm not sure why blue carpet was was so popular in the 90s? Removed carpet from the E36, suprisingly very minimal rust spots (usual surface rust around the seat mounting bolts and that's it) I first hit it with black Rit...

    Yeah sorry none yet, totally forgot to. We’re just getting the running gear sorted and ready for rego at this stage. It’ll be a firewood collector for the winter before probably some more mods into a camper/toy hauler. Cheers

    Another weekend and some QST! :D Work continues on subframe mounts, strippped rubber back and weld-thru primed ready for plates suprising no existing cracks so i'm taking the less is more approach to the subframe reinforcement. More welding = more heat stress and could possibly make things...

    Yeah the bathtub will always haunt me. Shovelling what must be 300-600kg of concrete into the skip on a hot day wasn’t fun either. Glad you like the e36. I’ve had mixed reviews so far :/ Painter has spent a lot of time hating me for changing my mind about how the fenders are blended. This is...
