Well Iwas supposed to be lining a chimney and fitting a stove today but was snowed off ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) so went into the garage and did some more on this ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The problem is it almost as big as the garage it is in so it hanges out of the door when we work on it, very cold -1 most of the day then it got colder ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) So first thing first had a look at the hole on the inner wing then left it. ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture061-2.jpg) Then moved on to cutting out more rust in rear arch ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture062-2.jpg) and welding was started ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture065-2.jpg) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture064-2.jpg) then some body panels ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture067-2.jpg) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture066-2.jpg) then try rear bumper to make sure home made panels fit ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture068-1.jpg) not to bad test of the new wheels ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture069-1.jpg) my mate doing his best pimping pose ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture071-1.jpg) bit more welding up, grinding and started some filling ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture075-1.jpg) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture074.jpg) ![](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/rustypatrol/Picture076.jpg) Also fitted a few bits of under dash trim as well. All in all a good day that makes it a bit closer to the road ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Yes, it was an ebay bargain (I hope!) - it's being MOT'd this week so hopefully nothing major to do (for now). Always liked these since I had a ride in a 732i as a lad. My uncle had a nice red 525e back in the '80's too. I'll give it a good look over, thanks. Pics will be posted too, of course.

This is gonna look gorgeous when it's done. There was an immaculate one for sale last year just up the road from me, I was sorely tempted ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) I had a later model 740i a few years ago, there's just something about a big autobahn stormer, I love em ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Can't wait to see this rolling on theose rims ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Good work. Just sold an SE version on Ebay - well sort of' - which was a minter. Sadly too many cars meant it had to go. Had I kept it I would have gone for banded steels and 3 inch drop.

I did think of banded steels, using range rover space savers as they are the same PCD and are 19" which I think would of looked great powder coates black. May still do this in the future you never know ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) .

I'd have liked to do a manual conversion too! They're just such a nice car to drive.
