body restoration for my 1988 BMW 325 (e30)

<< Back to 325

Nov 2006. When I acquired my e30, it was close to rusting beyond what would have been worth saving. So my first major task with the car was a full restoration. I had the work done at Daniel's Auto in Cambridge, Ontario (519 624 7326).

Here's the car soon after I acquired it. There was a lot of rust all around, the bumpers were cracked and worn out, the sunroof was rusted through and barely moving, and the car needed a lot of mechanical attention.
