Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
I built a wooden stand with which I can turn the car to its side. I tried to wash the bottom a bit but still need to wash better. This position makes it easier to weld, paint and massage the bottom of the car.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
Very clever. I bet it was a little scary the first time you tipped it over.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
It was pretty scary to turn for the first time, but luckily my brother came to help and things went well.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
That rotisserie is very cool. You have it built so that it can't turn over more than ninety degrees which is great. I would never have thought to make my own.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
Thank you Russell Ashley! I have liked this rotisserie because I don't have to be afraid that the car will fall on me. I have started welding the bottom of the car.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
It's been a long time since I last posted pictures because I've been pretty lazy with this car. Now I have to hurry to get this in driving condition for next summer. Here are some pictures of what I have done.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
The engine bay is now painted. My friend painted it on Monday. I like the color tone (Diamantschwarz metallic) and that it is now finally painted.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
It won't be long before the fun begins. That is bolting on parts that will stay on the car.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
I still have to weld the rest of the bottom (back) and prime and install the SIKA 529AT. After that I can put the parts in place. Then the fun can begin.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
Here are two pictures of the bottom. Not much visible mark, but there are many small repair points.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
After half a year's break, some small progress. the wheel housings (hopefully the correct word) are now welded.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
Yesterday the car was turned back the right way. Now I was able to start fixing the rear parts.

New sheet metal to replace the rusted ones.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
very nice work, and I like the rotisserie. I saw a guy on Youtube tip his Camaro and it seemed to work well.
keep up the great work, and keep the pics coming

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
Hi Ilkka, I was thinking about your projects and was glad to find this again. I was not on the website for about a year. You have made great progress and the car is looking good. What are you using to make the replacement pieces? They are very precise.

Re: BMW 325i 1989 restoration
Thanks a lot Tempest67! I have been satisfied with the rotisserie, it is sturdy and does not take up much space.

I use normal sheet metal and basic tools and anything what I can find in my garage. I have a Dremel multi tool and I like it a lot. I don't have any fancy tools, for example an English wheel, a bordering machnine.
