Today i cut out the right sideskirt. Not so rusty like the left side.

Inner sill looks ok! Nice progress!

Nice work!

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

On the last pic you can see the old repair

OMG @ last pic!!!!

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

Many layers make strong wheel arches. Yes it looks terrible

I use 1mm and 1,2mm!!!

Now the inside and outside fender are cut out. Next time i do some repairs and weld in the new one.

That floor doesn't look to bad at all

Yes it is a little bit better then the other side but there are some rustholes.

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.

Agree, and not too bad at all this side
