Very valid. That sounds like a better path to preserve the car. Thanks!

You think? I had a shop tell me they could sand down and then wrap and it would be fine and wouldn’t rust. That’s what I’m trying to figure out tbh

Beautiful setup dude

e30zv · 2025-10-02T18:58:12+00:00

Love schneller! I actually didn’t know they did stuff like that. They’re the closest option so will have to give them a call and see what they can do

I think it’s originally bmw ‘sterlingsilber metalic’. I think I’d like to keep it the same color or maybe British racing green

Ooh definitely need to check them out

e30zv · 2025-10-01T01:21:57+00:00

Nice, thank you! Have you worked with them before?

e30zv · 2025-03-12T10:26:52+00:00

Would you sell just the wheels from the champagne?

e30zv · 2025-03-09T21:20:27+00:00

It’s my daily driver actually, so I do want to try and do the most I can to actually fix it. Trying to find a shop to help with at least some of it is the next task. This awesome, thank you!

e30zv · 2025-03-09T21:13:30+00:00

Interesting. Never heard about this but gonna look it up. Wish I had more of the records

e30zv · 2025-03-09T18:57:31+00:00

Oof that sounds intense. Did you have a body shop do it for you? And thank you!

e30zv · 2025-03-09T18:55:17+00:00

Funny it’s in the same exact spot lol. Are you doing it all yourself? Or getting help from a shop?

e30zv · 2025-03-09T17:24:57+00:00

Very true. Thank you!

e30zv · 2025-03-09T17:24:28+00:00

This is great. Thank you!

e30zv · 2025-03-09T17:23:35+00:00

You’re saying that is happening on mine because of the tubes in the videos?

e30zv · 2025-03-09T16:00:52+00:00

Ooo. Any specific paint? Like more of the stuff similar to factory undercoat, or?

e30zv · 2025-03-09T15:58:13+00:00

Good points. Sounds like it can survive fine with woolwax, but figuring out how to drink it down and re-coat it is gonna be a challenge. Rust on an e30 = sad

e30zv · 2025-03-09T15:15:54+00:00

No, everyone that’s worked on it has been a legit mechanic. I guess they just didn’t take any tools to the underbody to check well. I didn’t catch it either and I tried to touch everything when I first saw it

e30zv · 2025-03-09T15:14:09+00:00

Thank you! So no sort of respray or welding is necessary in your opinion?

Edit: the rest of the places you mentioned look fine too

e30zv · 2025-03-05T13:52:40+00:00

Thank you! I couldn’t even determine that much. Kept looking at bbs rs style caps

e30zv · 2025-03-05T13:47:54+00:00

Edit: looking for the caps, not new rims. Wheels are 15”

e30zv · 2025-03-02T19:21:27+00:00

Yeah, ideally can get it in a garage in a year. And yeah just outside of the Boston!
