As most of the BMW lover know , the major issue for the E30 prefacelift model is the RUST issue .......

Since i decided to rebuilt the car (Maybe the last BMW tat i going to rebuilt) , i decided to restore the WHOLE fire wall .........

Started with the driver side ........The firewall and also the floor was fully removed and replaced with new metal plate ......
