Hi guys and girls,
I'm repairing some rust on my BMW e36 compact
I've got a repair panel for the inside section
and I've made up a bit of the sill and welded it on to the outside(needs a bit of tidying up but it's covered by a plastic sill so doesn't need to be perfect)
But my problem is how to form the cup section in front of axle stand in this pic? I looked into buying a new sill with this section in it but it was listed on realoem as $374 which I thought was a bit steep. So I'd like to try making the section myself, unless anyone knows a cheaper way to get hold of this section? I was debating cutting it out of a scrap car but I don't have any cordless cutting implements, apart from a hack saw.
Currently I have cut the worst of the rust out and I'm left with this
Any advice/tips for forming this metal cup?
Thanks
Ben
