Ep. 24 - My BMW E30 Restoration - Major Touring Tailgate Rust Repairs + DIY Spray Booth Prep
Carrying on with the panel prep for before the respray; I tackled the tailgate, these are notorious for rust in very tricky areas.
I purchased this as ‘mint condition’ but as you will see it was far from it, but much better than my original piece.
Starting with a complete strip down to find all the places that need repairing, after a lot of careful cutting out it needed 6 repair patches to replace the rotten areas.
A lot of complex shapes were needed and it really tested my fabrication skills, but once they were all welded in and cleaned up, I put up a ‘DIY spray booth’ and applied the epoxy primer to the whole tail gate to seal it.

The heater fan box is something that may be missed during a restoration, however I thought it would be best to strip it down and inspect.

Ep. 21 My BMW E30 Restoration - Sound Deadening Installation
มุมมอง 6K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Now it was quite the shame to cover up the recent respray however sound deadening is a must for me. I decided to cover the whole floor compared the factory as I want to dampen as much of the drivetrain/road noise as possible, the difference in weight is only around 10kg more. I won't be using the factory engine bay insulation as I don't have the clearance around the engine, so I installed the s...
