After the gas pedal on my E30 fell through the floor board, I made the discovery of substantial rust. I purchased replacement panels from Valcas garage and got to work.
Here is a video of my struggles replacing the rusted areas and discovering even MORE RUST.

Looks great, man.. I did this to my suzuki Sidekick a couple of years ago.. then fit and cut and fit and cut.. and then 4500 tacks takes forrrrrever. You done awesome. They do make a body seam sealer. I used to cover the seams and small pin holes..

Wow thanks so much for this video. I'm about to tackle this same project and seeing someone else walk through it makes it seem much more manageable! Did you purchase the listing from Valcas titled E30 front corners FULL repair kit? Looks like the only way to get that outer piece is to buy the full kit

@zackellis23 6 ай бұрын

Im glad it helped! And I bought each piece individually from Valcas garage.

I’ve got to do about the same repair on my E30. The battery tray is rotted out, part of the firewall, RF floor pan, and patch both rear pans. Driver pan is fine and i can’t find any other rot on the car. Almost bought the floor pan set like you but ended up finding a parts car that I’m gonna cut from. I’ll have a video on my channel as well - feel free to check it out

Sounds like we have pretty much identical rust issues. I just subbed to your channel to follow along!

@@zackellis23definitely! Was kinda gutted at the unexpected rot being its a southern car. Guess I’ll get to learn my new welder! Plan is to m54b30 swap it. Maybe make it my auto-x car tho my 330ci will get jealous.

@@robsweekendgarage mine came from New Hampshire so I knew it was coming. BUT an E30 is a great auto X car. I currently use my SRT4 for track days and autoX. I was positive my e30 was going to be a fun “drive to work” car but once I carved a few back roads…. I think I have to autoX this car lol.

I think i missed it but where did you order your floor pans from?

@zackellis23 8 ай бұрын

I got them from Valcas garage. I paid like $800 for front floor pans, rear floor pans, both jack points and the front fender bottom portion. I ordered them and received them 3 days later.
