Another full day of work on the Roundie. I am dreaming of the day that I finish the body work on this car! So ready to have that behind me. Found another hidden glob of filler that was hiding a good sized dent in the door, so that sucked. Anyways, here we go.

Thought this looked kind of cool:



Got it down to bare metal:



Holes welded up:



Ground smooth:



Filler applied:



I forgot to snap a picture after I was done smoothing the filler, so here's how it looked after primer. Still needs some work:



Although I was a little discouraged and frustrated today working on the '02 thinking about how much more body work I have ahead of me, I cheered myself up by taking a step back and realizing how lucky I am to have an awesome work space in an amazing location where I get to work on my dream cars. I'm a very fortunate dude:

Damnit... you're making me want E38 Style 5's again...

Builds like this is the exact reason why I want to find a 2002 to rebuild, you say filler work isn't your forte yet the final product looks pretty damn good

To be perfectly honest, it looks better in the pictures than in real life. There are several flaws that need to be addressed before paint. Thank you though!

The work you are doing is fantastic and one can see that your skills are getting better at each phase of the project.

Thanks, it's all a matter of practice and experience. I have a lot more confidence tackling projects now since I have more practice.

Love it! Great work. Can't wait to see it finished

Thanks! Me too.

i like your flares, they look oe.
good work

That's the plan, thank you!

the type of story everyone enjoys,

great, great job man

Appreciate it man, thank you.

Mmm that E30 is perfect in my mind. I think everything being clean is boring, gotta have that clear coat failure. You will have two very bad ass cars once your done, good work sir.

Haha a part of me loves the rugged look, and a part of me wants to repaint it and make it look cherry. I haven't had much motivation to work on it lately as all my focus is on the '02 so we'll see what happens!

Thanks dudes, the comments are always appreciated.

Inspiring.

I've convinced myself that starting next summer I'm going to strip my E30 down and address all of the rust and imperfections. I've never done any body work but I'm going to force myself to learn, and do as much as I possibly can on my own.

Do it! I didn't know what I was doing when I first started, but it all came in time. It's a great learning experience and a lot of fun, I say go for it!
