Hi. I recently purchased BMW E30 325i Cabriolet 1986. Running and driving project car you might say.
I found this problem from inside of trunk:
Small issue on bottom part of inner wheel arch:
And more difficult issue around outer part of inner wheel arch and fuel filler flap (picture from inside of wheel housing):
Small holes are where fuel feed support bracket is welded to:
Fabricated patch from several small pieces of 1 mm thick sheet, welded, primed and seam sealed:
Rusted metal cut out, new piece of sheet welded and bracket welded back to new piece. Primed and seam sealed:
This is how it looks from inside:
Notice old repairs done to bottom of side panel with added new primer and seam sealer
For last touch all outer parts were undercoated and inner parts painted with somewhat similar silver.
More repairs to come...
