    Rust repair

    The time has come to repair rust on my E30. I buy two new front wings, rear two cutting edges and left/right sills. Work will take about 10-15 days.

    Some photos of problem spots :

    I hope it will last longer. I will use some good protection for the floor and some another parts. That will protect him from water/rain and salts which are sprinkled in winter on streets.

    the salt is my problem. I live about 1/3 or 1/2 mile from the ocean, on a peninsula, so no escaping the ocean salt in the air

    I have been spraying the back side of where the metal repair is with a thin grease out of a undercoating gun and this has been working good. the greasing tends to stay and cling on for much longer than just spraying motor oil.

    Dang, you might have to just wire brush, treat, and paint while you look for replacements. That looks harder to stop and fix since its a thin seam
