Look what parting out an E36 can do for you!

Looking good man, nice work. How much you sell the m52 for anyway?

[Bishop]

Are you using an machine to polish or doing it by hand?

[almostM]

I sold the M52 pretty complete for 800 shipped

I have done most of the paint restoration by hand. It is taking forever, but the buffer kept flinging product all over me and the car and I was tired of it. Here's a update shot, I still haven't done much to it but the paint is coming along. Spring will bring new things.

It has taken me a year and a half to find it, you should of seen some of the rust buckets here. Almost all seem to be pretty base E30s, with tons of Napa parts on them.

I live in Nassawadox, VA on the shore, Virginia's detached penis.

No real updates, I'm still gathering parts for the spring, which is creepin up on me. I did replace the antenna seal, and the taillight seals. I think I've got the rear of the car pretty sealed. There are a couple nasty rust spots behind the taillights, hopefully I can get them taken care of soon.

Here is the spot where it was full of water. All of the rust came from the jack, there is actually no rust on the car itself. I need to clean it up, but I have been monitoring for water droplets.



Pushed her in to get a good cleaning, she's been out in the snow and rain:(





The goal is H20 in September. Its about an hour and a half drive each way, hopefully she'll drive under her own power and maybe have some wheels and low.

Looks great, and amazing progress!
I can't wait to see how this turns out.
