New 89 325i

[Dirtboy]

Some updates....

Things are going sloooooow. Body shop is finding rust everywhere. In addition to the new quaterpanels and sunroof, they had to cut off the bumper (accident had bumper wedged is so tight, bolts were seized) to get at the rear trunk panel. Then they had to cut out the rear trunk panel and replace that!:crazy: Too much rust and damage to salvage. Also, rust was found in the front footwells where the front sunroof drains are. Patched that all up. So I'm thinking another two weeks before I get her back. Anyway, on with the pics (sorry for the crappy iphone pics):

Here's how she's sitting now.





Here's the damaged/rusted rear trunk panel and the cut bumper. They broke two bits trying to get the bolts out. The bumper was F'ed up anyway; got a used one for a good price.



Here's a shot of the BRAND NEW rear trunk panel in. Yummy....



Both rear fenders had to be rebuilt cuz of the rust. Frikkin German winters...





'nother shot of the ass. :pimp:




So that's how she sits right now. Wheels should be coming back pretty soon. Oh, and since that last shot of parts guess what came in... MORE PARTS!!!!!!:-D

Yeah, no kidding. It's like pulling teeth to get in contact with Steve. Did he get a job yet or is he still moochin' around the house? He told me he wanted to sell the 330... or put a small block 350 in it...
