Forums Forums Ste: BMW E30 325i

Bit of a mission getting that tank out but great when it eventually gave up the fight. Sorry about the finger - my fault

Lol no worries dd, thanks for the help.
Still on the ramp today, dillys dreading doing it.

Your brave letting Dilly near it!!! LOL
He ok, havent seen him for years, well last time i did your steering pipe!

And it was an excellent job too, still perfect

Yes he's great, he would prefer me too scrap this so he doesn't have to weld it lol but everything's scrap to him you know what he's like haha.

He's on this site but I'm not sure who he is as I've never asked him lol.

Lol nice finger, what's your plans when billy has finish playing with it are kid?

After making it look pretty underneath I'll be getting it painted and selling it.

Going to see if I can get an F or G reg one.

This ones got too low a mileage for me to wreck by modding.

Was down your place today doing the cab tilt ram for Pete.
Dilly did say scrap it after a good rant!! LOL

What sort of price will you be after?

Nice one

Haha I was sitting in the big ugly blue transit motorhome wannabee outside the garage waving at you.

Petes done well with that truck, looks ten times better.

I looked after that when it belonged to Peoples Ford in Bootle. Had the whole hydraulics system rebuilt at a good cost!!

That paintwork looks amazing, I need one of those machine polishers! I've done the sides on mine but don't have the time or energy to polish it to that level by hand!

You do 80% of it by hand Dave using the wet n dry, once that's done it's a quick buff n polish

Heres a photo of the petrol tank damage, surprisingly once the "fibreglass filler " was taken off there are just 2 tiny holes, less than the size of a matchstick head so the tank is worth repairing.
Whoever tried repairing it obviously didn`t take it off otherwise it would of been done properly.

Also, when removing the carpet for welding i came acrossthe ECU which looks as though it has been chipped, one of the lads down our yard said it may just of had a replacement so i`ll look into it to see if it has or not.
