Yeah maybe

In the meantime:

Oh man.... Nice!!!

Porn!

Those seats look stunning. Great quality leather too by the looks,of,it.

WOW love the seats

Thanks. They are very nice. Can't wait to get them in.



OEM recaro brackets make it sit a little high, so will see if I use some of polov8 ideas on DIY brackets.

It's going to be a while though, currently car is looking a little shabby



Update coming. It involves rust.

Oops, you ran into a rusty floor pan then? Bummer! On a lighter note, then you don't need these wonderful seats so you can leave them with me

So........who ordered RUST?!

Lets take a look at the right corner first. As you know I knew there was something there from the state of the corner of the wing, so no suprises when the carpet came out:



Not too bad at all really, but needs to be taken care of before it gets out of hand. I have already had the rear subframe of and everything under there looked in really good shape. A few small brown patches that I will take a look at, but that was it.

Looks like someone liked the idea of jacking it up here..





Always more then you want to believe - once you start looking you shall find:









Only a few small patches that need to be looked at under the wing though, so thats good news.






Cutting out the bad, trying to think smart and not cut too much:





I'm way out of my depth here and learing a ton - luckly MortenM has offered me some help and guidance!

You made a good start on repairing! Keep it up! Just take a look in my 323 topic, under 6cilinder.

Man - I can tell you you are my mentor - you just didn't know it

Wha, always ready for questions mate!

Good luck man, even though these are the known E21 rust spots it means there's work to be done.

Thanks guys

Been making plenty of progress, and Morten has been showing of his welding skills.

Got the right side cut out and cleaned up:


Draining holes or whatever they are before and after. Luckily only superficial rust!




Abit of the sill around the jacking point coming out:





Over to the left side, which doesn't look too bad at all around the corner...well at least most of it is still there:







Looks grim:







A little more damage inside the wheel arch:






Changed the plans for the seats.......................................got something real special...




Got check into a warm hospital room:

Will you sell the leather seats?
