You know me and estates...

Engine is the least of my worries at the moment.

Did your e21 ever get finished?

Back up to Tickman's for a super duper day of bodywork sorting.

First up, a look at the task ahead - it was pretty obvious we needed to go heavy on this.



In for a penny, in for a pound, so out with the grinder.



Time for more of an inspection.

The lack of mid- sill and inner sill was problematic,



We got the edges all cleaned and trimmed up - the car had at least 4 layers of patches in areas, so plenty time was lost chopping out crap.

We made up some panels to join the mod sill to the bottom seam where all 3 meet.

I did my first ever welding on a car -



We had to make fairly small panels, to allow us to support and straighten the bottom sill joins.

Eventually we got them all in place



The next thing to do was fit the outer sill we had made







To get this far took approx 6hrs working.

There's progress on the e21and my current wagon of choice is a dodge magnum SRT8 which is a touch heaver on fuel than the e36 touring was.

Sounds good on all fronts!
