A former colleague used to say 'When you see that it will happen, don't mind to break. Pull in your legs.'


Nja, maybe better not to think of it too much. After the road piracy yesterday of the crazy swedes, I'm happy that I and my car survived

Today I began to cut out the rusty Areas on the right enginebeam. There is too much rust - so I decided to change the whole beam. After cutting out i also decided to Change the left one also. So i ordered two new beams today

[uwbuurman]

Nasty spot. You are a man with a need for a new part.

[Jeroen]

going to be fine again with fresh metal!

I think I have this spot to investigate further on my car, but not before winter! I shall watch with interest. It's great that threads like this give an almost assembly line idea of how the car is constructed.

[BuschBertl]

Today i didn´t get ready with welding but the most thing is done: the first beam is fitted

[uwbuurman]

Cool!! One down, one to go!!

My own BB-Carworks 1:1 Model Kit

[uwbuurman]

Hahaha, those kits are the best. I have the 1978 edition.

[BuschBertl]

First side is done! And i did some rust converter (Fertan) into the folds of the front Panel

[uwbuurman]

Great! No rust on that car, the next few years!

[BuschBertl]

Yesterday i cut out the other side - it wasn´t realy rusty anymore but done ist done!

The new part from BMW isn´t welded together?!?! Before i install the new part i have to weld it together

[uwbuurman]

Thats a strange part, must be a failure. But anyway, nice progress again!!!

[Jeff323]

Mine came the same way, not sure why it comes that way?

[BuschBertl]

Today i welded the frontbeam together and did some primer on the inside! I also rebuild the brakepipeholder with new srewshells.









After that i began to adjust the sideskirt and checked the clearences!
