Project 326i

[pic]

Hi for everyone. I'm start this project almost exactly 3 years ago. I want to introduce myself, and my car, listen and enjoy. I'm Gergő from Hungary, and my project car is a moderately rusty 323i with some modifying, but largely remaining in the original shape. I will try to present the story in chronological order, and slowly we get to the current stage. Only patience, please. So let's start at the beginning of this:

A project that requires patience, but also respect for the work done sofar mate! What's with the 2.6?

Thanks Jeroen! The engine is ready to assembly, i'm just waiting for the engine workshop, to start the work.

And it continues... After the shocktowers, the next to do is the back panel. I bought repair panel from the Ebay, made by van Wezel. Or what. Its not perfect, but after i took some care of, it was ok. So enjoy it.
Look, she is smiling.

But i erased her smile...

The rear corners redoing was the most difficult job on the whole car.

Some minor problem on the left jackstand/floorpan and under the gas pedal.



I doesn't find the after repair pictures from this.

Then we covered the car of the side, to take care of the bottom.


Washed that terrible stuff from the bottom. The car's bottom was in pretty nice condition, you can see the factory color under it.

And now, we came to the beautiful things.

Hey - good work. Never seen those kind of restoration methods before, but that's not to say they're not effective I'm sure!

Yes, I could say it was quite nomadic working, but the only way to go without a workshop.

After that, im painted the trunk...

The engine compartment....
