Glad you've decided to persevere with it, and it looks great in those outdoor photos
Love your garage to, I reckon I could happily spend all weekend in there rummaging round

Fantastic as always Tony, a real pleasure to see you at work ;D CAn I ask where you got your Roloc holder to fit on the Grinder ? I have a Roloc holder for an angle Die grinder but not one for the Electric angle grinder ? They are just a magic invention, can get in so many places that you just cant hit with anything else to blend out ;D Wish I had the air supply in the unit to use one, but an attachment for an angle grinder would be a good comprimise Can't remember exactly where I got it from, just put a search on the internet for the 3M part number as this catalogue.3m.eu/en_GB/GB-ASD/Accessories/Roloc_Accessories/Rubber_Back-Up_Pad/Rubber_Back-Up_Pad%7E84998Not much done again this weekend, had to work again on Saturday But in answer to Lincoln Danny's question, I formed the recess over the end of a bit of pipe, as that was the nearest thing I had to the right diameter. Then I painted the inside of the chassis leg and tacked the new closing plate on Welded Check for penetration and clean off Made a new front mounting point it goes here but it also needs this support making, so popped down to my friend Neils, to measure his from his E24 6 series, as they share the same floor pan as the E28's Could only measure the other side, so need to make the reverse of what I drew then all welded in and cleaned off and thats it for this weekend, but at least thats the front of this side done, just the rear subframe bits to sort out now

Great work again Tony, can I ask why you made a new piece for the floor, the piece you cut out looked quite good? Claymore I was going to try to clean it up and use it again, but when I hammered it flat a few holes started appearing between where the spot welds were, so thought it better to make a new piece

Little bit more done this afternoon Scraped off the Underseal from the chassis leg and knocked the dents out Welded on the chassis leg flange, ground out an signs of rust and applied a liberal coating Of Bilt Hamber Rust converter to the inside Used the bit I cut out as template To make this Thats all I had time for today, need to leave the rust converter to dry before applying some zinc rich primer to the inside

Booooooooooohh How dare you have life. Only joking. don't worry Broadie, only a temporary Glitch Although I did have to go into work this morning so only got a couple of hours done this afternoon Added some etch primer to the bare metal on the sills Scraped off the sound deadening pad, and cleaned up the floor with a bit of thinners Then marked out the floor to cut out to repair the chassis flange noticed earlier, decided to cut out a wide enough section to expose the inside of the chassis leg, as its got a few battle scars and needs some dents knocking out Glad I did, as it was looking a bit crusty inside Then my tummy started rumbling and I knew it was time for tea

tonybmw - I have read all your posts regarding panel beating & panel forming and would like to thank you, this info has greatly improved my understanding of metal working. Thank you very much also for posting all the pictures they are a great guide & reference. Thanks Brams, I hope to get over to Gordons again soon and get an update on the reassembly

Thanks Guys, you've been a great help along the way Teaboy - Inexplicably, No they don't seem to have used that shot, I guess my modelling career will have to wait a little longer ;D ;D ;D
