Saved a euro 316i

Looks like a great project, can't wait to see how it turns out!

BTW, if you haven't sold those rear Eibachs already, PM me when you do! They are the exact size and rates that I am looking for

What you're doing with the "rust converter" is you're basically covering it up. The corrosion underneath will continue, trust me..
And of course the paint wont stick.
Replacing the battery tray isn't as difficult as one might imagine (I managed to do that on my project shell so it can't be rocket science :P )

BTW I have one that looks a bit like your car. :)

I know a lot of people swear by similar products like rust bullet and such. I've had good results in the past with things like naval jelly and the duplicolor converter (basically a aerosol version of naval jelly). If it eats through or flakes i'll replace it.

i wanted to buy this car so bad but it was just on the wrong coast. can't wait to see what you do with it! reminds me of my old euro 325i (minus the mt1!)

Might get some MT1 love. Not sure. I hate the current lip. It does not fit the lines at all and the early i or eta lips don't fit the valence. The euro specific sport lips almost never pop up and when they do they cost major bucks.

They are on a friends car ATM. Should be coming off next week.

So glad you got this car. A while ago I was going to trade the guy my E30 for this, but I didn't have the balls. I like where it's headed. Mtech I?

I've been hoarding parts and dealing with registration issues. Previous owner would not complete the DMV paperwork and stopped responding to my PMs.
