Restoration > 1974 BMW 3.0 CS
Here we have a shot of the passenger side inner wheel arch after the wing was carefully cut off.
The rust in this area is very serious, most cars in this condition get scrapped. The other side is infact a little worse.
Some of the corrosion removed and a few plates welded
Starting to look better already.
More work towards the front of the car, the remaining rust will be cut out and repaired when i re hang the wings.
A few coats of zinc rich weld thru primer on the areas to be covered with more steel.
Test fitting of the wing to make sure it all lines up perfect. You can see the holes drilled in the heavy gauge top plate ready for plug welding.
Top plate and inner gusset welded.
