In this episode, I continue working on the chassis learning a lot as I go. A big thank you to everyone who got in contact with me. You were all very helpful. I now know what I'm doing wrong, I just need more practice and experience to know how to make my welds better.
I've been in contact with E30 Garage Norway, a company that makes exact replica pressed panels for E30's. After a lot of talking, I had a list of about 12 panels I needed to make my life a lot easier. The parts are on their way but before they arrive, I want to focus on all of the parts that a panel couldn't cover. This episode I remove three rust spots on the right sill and repair a patch on the rear bench. The first weld I did in the episode will be cut out and replaced with a panel from E30 garage Norway.
Join me next episode when I remove those nasty lap welds and prepare a few areas for new panels.
Thanks for watching.
