Body
Finally the e30 is sent to lacquering :D :D
Finally I got time and money to Finnish up the bodywork and paint on my E30, I have waited a long time for this and I hope everyone will like the color and extras on the car! 2 years an still lot¨s to do!
Next!
Rebuild the car, interior and exterior.
Fix electrical problems and make all the electronics work.
Reinstall the intake and valve cover! (Vacuum lines)
Take the car to a shop to Finnish up the brake lines and bleed the clutch.
Take her to EU approval and get the plates back on 😀
Few more hours
In a few weeks the IX will be ready for painting, the only parts left rubbing down is the front fenders and the front and the rear bumpers and the doors.
I have ordered some parts: Intake hose, cooling hose kit, left right blinkers, clutch pedal stopper and some other small parts not worth mentioning 🙂
Welding is done
The only rust hole left is in the battery box, but it is not a concern as it easy to get to. There is more than enough to do before i start welding again… But i love it and I am so ready for it to see the roads again.
Some pics of the finished welding.
Stay Tuned 😀 😀
Removal of the windows
It was surprisingly easy to remove the windows.
Took about ten minutes.
All of the windows are in grate condition, exept for the rear windows, looks like someone has touched it with the grinder…
I am going to replace all of the rubber seals, some was painted on and someone has seen their better days.
More bad paintwork revealed…
New Rocker Panels
The past week i have been looking for new rocker panels without any luck, but yesterday i found out that Koed.no actually has some unoriginal ones to 1000,- Nok about 130,- USD. So I ordered those. Atm. The panels are in transit. I also talk to one of the teachers on the “mechanic line” on my school if they could change them for me cheap and one of them are coming over to look at the IX the next week.
He will also weld the big hole that is left in the floor. after the welding is done, me and some friends are going to change the brake lines and bleed the clutch line.
