E30 Rust Restoration Around NYC

Convenience Collision in Bangor, PA

That's the one I was thinking about. My guess is it won't be cheap, but having some experience with having body work done, my humble recommendation would be to pay more to have it done right the first time than to attempt to do it on a budget and have regrets later.

Ask on the NJ BMW CCA forum also (you do not need to be a CCA member to create a login); those guys are very well-connected and will point you in the right direction. (There's a highly regarded shop in PA but I forget the name.)

Cool, will do. Also found a place in NJ called Tyspeed that looks cool... if anyone has had any experience there that would be helpful too. Thanks.

damn that stinks. I would 100% make sure a reputable shop gets this done, unless someone is very meticulous and skilled. good luck man. Shops i know that are reputable, but not sure if they do this kind of work:

Guten Parts
OMG

good luck

Thanks, I've actually been in touch with both guys.

Levent @ Guten has been very helpful — he pointed me to Convenience Collision in Bangor, PA and I've reached out.

Denis @ OMG has worked on my car 1st-hand and is a great guy to work with in general - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone's mechanic needs but does not handle rust-repair.

Still open to any other suggestions — I agree, it should be an E30 specialist.

Thanks.

Looks great, drives great, but has rust hidden beneath. Tourings are so hard to come by so I have to try and save it.

So far, what I know is is the rear spring perches are GONE.I also had a dead pedal last year, but now it's mush. I still weekend drive it as-is, but I know my days are numbered.

Would like to get someone that knows E30s, specifically regarding new spring perch fabrication or welding in ones from a donor car? Would also need to check extent of rust elsewhere and fix while we're at it.

Local recommendations appreciated, and any thoughts from experience, thanks.
