Car: BMW 318
Colour: Blue Metallic

History:
Restored for a friend of mine who runs an independant BMW Repair business
This car had been well bodged in the past, plenty of filler covering the usual trouble spots, It had failed the MOT on some welding, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. This was another one which needed, wings, rear arches, sill repairs, lower corners and front valance repairs as well as several patches underneath

Thoughts:
It was nice to save another one

To the untrained eye these arches looked ok before, with just a few rust blisters

But with the filler ground out they were not so good

All the typical areas were affected to some degree

Front panel was away in places

Along with inner wings

Repaired and painted

Hole to door also needed sorting

Lots of primer and prep needed

Final preparation to rear arches

This was another friends garage where I could spray in, beats doing it outside in the rain

Fresh from paint, needs polishing, detailing and putting back together

Reflections are nice and straight

It lives to fight another day
