But rust removal has begun. Started grinding back the worst and measuring the couple small patches i need. Once i get a new angle grinder disc to remove some stubborn bolts both wings will be off ready for the new ones to be adjusted before paint. Things are happening.

On behalf of a mate of mine, I must remind you to not offroad the compact. He took his, also a base 316i, on the road crossing at a tank testingground, because it did not look that difficult. However the trenches got so deep, that the floor was stuck on the sand between them, with the wheels freewheeling in the air. They had to throw all kind of logs under the wheels to get it unstuck.

316i, I’m 22 so insurance is sizably different on the 318.

Is it going to take a bundle of cash to get it to pass MOT? Here is my Ohio area we only have to pass emissions tests. I wish we had a real inspection to get some of the junkers off the roads.

...When I was your age, I had a 4 year old e46 CPO with 240 HP. My insurance was probably terrible, but I was too stupid to notice.

Oh its already MOT worthy it currently has an almost fresh MOT on it. I just wanted to freshen it up and repair the small rust holes before they get worse.

Just a question and don’t take it wrong . Are you the Edd China of your neighborhood? I’m imagining you cutting , welding floor pans and such in the middle of the night, torches glowing.

Yeah, true, but not so if there is nothing to pull you loose

I'm jealous of your rust being mostly on the front fenders. Easy to remedy. Though I don't envy you working around that nose piece made of tinfoil.

Just wave at the nearest tank for assistance

Well theres rear arch too but despite appearances its only surface rust. And yes this panel is ridiculous, look at it funny and it bends. I tried to find an aftermarket plastic one with no luck.

Kinja'd!!!

Exactly! And then you get to see a cool tank rip the subframe out of a BMW

Didn’t check Oppo for 2 weeks and half of the BMW is missing! Where exactly is the rust?

Lower passenger wing, but im changing both since the drivers side was off a facelift car and didnt match. Little bit under the wing too that needs welding but its not bad, more me being picky.
