If you buy cheap circular saws you dont cut very long.
So i cant finish cutting out sidepanel

TIP use the very thin cutting discs, you'll grind much less material away and the thin discs last much longer/ cut more meters per disc

Re: BB-Carworks 323 S-Edition restauration
Of course. All e21 have rust between those seams. All. Even the ones that only have 1000km on the counter. Even the ones at the bmw classic centre.
But given that fact, and given the rest of the condition of your car, this is in very good condition.
