[Huff]

Bodywork? All i see is that wheel. Thats going to be nice!

Ha! Just catching up with this and that's what I saw too

Thanks! I need to take them off while I'm doing all this bodywork, but its sitting in the shop at work right now, so I have to see it all day long and its just so much easier to look at with the schnitzers on it compared to the 15's. I really do wish they were staggered though

[Dj Buttchug]

teach me your ways of bodywork art.

[Jb325is]

I wouldn't be much of a teacher, I have about two weeks experience.. Learning as I go. The older bodyman that's been helping me out has been at it for something like 30 years though. It's more about patience than anything else though

This is a sweet sweet thread.

You covered the panel with a plastic sheet once you applied the stripper, right?

I tried both covered and uncovered. The problem was just the amount of material on the hood, it had been painted over at least twice

Updates?

Not a whole lot, slow going right now with school. I've just been going panel by panel while I have free time at work. This picture was taken the other day, but since then I've 180'd down the pass rear door and quarter. Still need to do the roof, fix a couple more dents on the pass front door and work on the LR quarter which has some bondo work. Had some bad luck too last week, my co-worker dropped his FZ-6 while moving it and it landed on my LR quarter panel.



I'm also considering changing wheels already, not positive if I'm going to do it or not because it will require a lot of work.. But they are double staggered and really wide :)

Damn, I can't wait to see this in the parking deck at school.

Bummer about the bike falling on your QP.

I can't believe you are kicking those ACS wheels to the curb before they even rolled! Then again, the fact you are considering it means some pretty awesome replacements. Can't wait to see.

Also, tell your coworker with the FZ6 to get his shit together, it's not like he was pushing a Gold Wing.

Those schnitzer's look amazing on your E34 man! 100% approval. Kinda makes me want to consider a set for my E36

Slow going with the body work lately, been working 40+ hours and week and taking 10 hours of classes.. I've gotten all the easy bodywork finished though, now moving onto the tough stuff. Need to fix bondo'd fender and LR quarter, then roll and smooth the fenders





Here are the replacements for the schnitzers


Should be ready for primer soon
