I'd post this in the Photography Forum but these aren't really photos of any value. Just pics of my latest winter beater. 1993 BMW 525i. Only 118K miles. Smooth as silk. Interior is pretty tight. 5 speed. Aftermarket rims. Brand new Dunlop winter tires.
Now...Is there any displaced body guy on here that wants to do a side job. There is rust on the bottom door edges. Not terrible but I'd like to nip it in the bud. If we can, I might keep this longer than Spring. I'd like to. Behind the front wheels there is some rust under the plastic cladding on the drivers side and significant rust on the passenger side. I think it might be possible to build up something underneath that cladding to attach it to without replacing the whole fender. I did find a fender on eBay for $100 including shipping, but I'd rather not try to respray the whole fender and match everything.
I'm looking to keep this skinny. Maybe fiberglass and a respray from the trim line down. Any takers?
