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 ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e30/sportevo.html" rel="nofollow - E30 M3 Sport Evo III |

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 ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e30/sportevo.html" rel="nofollow - E30 M3 Sport Evo III |

| 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 ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e30/sportevo.html" rel="nofollow - E30 M3 Sport Evo III |
