that's almost quality work, joggled edge's are amateur an looks as if the lip was left bare metal and now can't be coated, and removing a 1/4 panel without bracing the door jamb is silly same as front panel, then loading it up with parts while the structure is weakened , if a car hasn't bean fully blasted bare or been on a rotisserie it was done half arsed,325is is a lovely car the 6cyl howl with janspeed system is epic, first car I ever drove that felt powerful,
rust tends to begin between panels/seams in cavity's on all cars/vans/panels my advice for dealing with rust is don't bother, there is a lot of money involved in doing it right. anywhere that has fast turnaround times aint doing it right because it isn't profitable
How much are 325i Sports (E30) price wise these days for ?

Mine is mechanically very good condition as I have must have spent a lot of money past few years getting it how I wanted including oil cooler, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, gearbox rattle fixed, insp II, radiator, exhaust gasket, prop donut, rear top mounts, springs, shocks, illuminated M-Technic Gearknob, rebuilt LSD (40% lock), New exhaust Which is Scorpion, dynoed at 168bhp including print out, front bushes E30 M3 eccentric, rear bushes are Powerflex though, new fuse box lid, new cambelt, new water pump, new handbrake cables, new fan, new fan shroud, KDS wheel alignment, New Alpine Sound System, prop donut and bolts, Bosch battery, brake hoses from Goodridge, 4x premium branded tyres,
This is mostly OEM except Powerflex rear bushes, exhaust, brake hoses are Goodridge
Rust is the main thing to watch for
Get pre purchase inspection before buying
Another recommendation for bss325i or PacerPete from E30 Zone for these
I made the mistake of buying first one I saw. Also mechanically I went a little OTT as didn't need new springs and new shocks
