Update: Sills, chassis legs, rear strut tops and inner wings repaired. As previously mentioned I swapped a rotton mini clubman with my friend if he did most of the welding on the car, I'm glad he did as I'm not the welding king and I have no time, at all. Here it is anyway, to quote him...
so its had sills, most of the inners and outers and strengtheners.....
butted the sills on just under the lower swage for a good fit and seam welded for strength.
thats the rear inner under where the petrol tank lives
both front floorpan/A-posts look like this now.
some chassis leg action.
theres something missing here....
stuck in some sufficiently thick plate in, welded inside and out. its the side of an old forklift
all buttoned up tonight
flitch panel/drip rail was fecked too ::)
not any more. other side only needed a small repair

Well I got a spare 5 minutes...
M50 bolted onto the 323i subframe with 323i engine mounts
Bolted up to the 323i transmission with no mods, no custom gear linkages/props for me
Clears the servo, and not in shot the 328i exhaust manifolds
One of the areas needing attention, but I have a few ideas.
This was when the engine was bolted into my 316. The other area maybe needing attention
Exhaust clearance
Happy? Yes.
