Here’s a few pictures of me redoing some of my floors, rust wasn’t super bad but definitely had some holes I could put a few fingers in.

Just fiberglassed the holes after OSPHO Etching, 2k epoxy primer, then rusty metal primer, then rustoleum underbody rust reformed the whole floorboard. If this thing ever tries to rust again I’d be surprised lmao.

Measured both sound deadening materials so ya’ll know what thickness to buy or upgrade for replacements! I’m doing 80mil (2mm) Amazon Butyl, 3mm thermafiber “open cell” taped around edges and seems, and 394mil (10mm) closed cell” on top before putting the refurbished carpet ontop. Converted the gas pedal to a floating one and have a new metal foot rest on the way.

Gonna finish it up tomorrow, removing old insulation and checking for rust before it’s all redone

Hey ya’ll my wife and I found a neat lil 1985 E30 318i that starts with starter fluid for $600 mostly original as her project car. The fuel pump relay is the singular 7 pin absolutely wailing with the key in the ON/ACC position but no fuel flow/prime. I’ll be troubleshooting incase it’s just low voltage etc, but, wondering if the relay is bad has anyone converted from the singular relay to the newer 3 relay set up? Thanks!

Just picked this ole girl up yesterday, started tearing body down to check for damage and well… there’s damage lol. 1985 535i 3rd owner here 🤙
