Well sent my car to Owen Ferry in Paisley to have a look over the car and a service amongst other things.
Well he had a look over it and found more of the dreaded rot ![]() So he has put me onto a guy he has recommended and after a wee chat and a price the car is booked in on 9th June. It will be MIA for 10 days. I'll keep you updated with the progress |

Rear of front arches and front of one of the rears. It's going to need repair panels. A lot of cutting out and new panels out in. A bit like wheeler dealers I think

Buy a welder and gear and learn how to weld. Works out much cheaper in the long run. I would want a factory finish for that much wonga.

There is no way the government would allow me anywhere a welder for public safety worries. LOL
The finish/repair I have been assured will be invisible |

Well got my car back yesterday.
Here are the pics of the car when it was stripped. Bearing in mind this area was supposed to have been done in 2007/08 ![]() ![]() ![]() BMW do not do repair panels so the bodyshop had to fabricate their own. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The jacking points were goosed as well. So new ones were also fabricated ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The car was MOT'd today and a new battery fitted. I have spent a bloody fortune on it in the past 3 months. Fooking cars |
