Rekpoint Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just the trim broke? Based on the marks it looks like it was either pulled or fell off. E36 life I guess. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm missing the same trim part. Bought a used one for 30$. Gonna use 3m tape and make sure it never falls off again. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Heat wave today. Decided to start working on my m3 front bumper! Before and after of the warp I worked out. I ended up heating the whole bumper with a heater then focused the heat gun on the warped area. I used a thing of wood and clamped it down till it cooled. Now it needs to be filled. I am going to start working on the cracks tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestion beside JBweld plastic bonder to adhere the crack together? + fill some dents? (I know to Dremel the back of them out first and use renforcement mesh.) Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Depends on the location and rigidity. In the past I have used 3M products and always have great results. They have a few types depending on the material you are working with and a Mesh that helps a lot for larger repairs. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/collision-repair-us/applications/bumper-and-plastic-repair/ https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/All-3M-Products/Automotive/Automotive-Products/Plastic-Composite-Fiberglass-Repair/Plastic-Repair/?N=5002385+8709313+8710869+8711017+8711413+8716717+8743653+3294857497&rt=r3 I have used filler products and bonding products depending on what I have on hand or the job im trying to complete. Panel Bond is insanely strong but might not be the best for the job, so be sure you know what you are using/working with first or you will be doing it again. Flexibility helps a lot vs. something strong and rigid. I repair my civic lip about 5-10 times a summer and replace it every year. There isn't a lip available for the bumper on my car, so right away the new one has to be sectioned and filled and I can tell you that with the wrong materials, it wont last longer than a few miles.

Rekpoint Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Since I was impatient I bought 2 syringes of JBweld Plastic Bond. A set of Bondo spreaders and a can of overlypriced adhesion promotor. No place in town had mesh for the backside of the platic bond so I bought the adhesion promotor instead. I think it turned out pretty good. I taped the cracks together, Dremeled out the cracks, ruffed it up more with sand paper, wiped everything down with acetone sprayed the adhesion promotor and went to town. Please don't hate of my mini popsicle stick application.... [emoji14] Second pic is what the cracks look like now with the plastic bond on the backside. Tomorrow hopefully I'll start sanding down some of the ruff edges. Then it will hopefully be ready for a coat of the plastic bond on the outside to smooth it out even more.

Rekpoint Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 So as it starts warming up I am going to need to be doing my shifter bushings/linkage. I will be dropping the exhaust and driveshaft so I can get to everything easier. As my exhaust is out I think I want to get a new exhaust. Does anyone know what a fair price on a Used Dinan Catback?

Rekpoint Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 While doing my daily research turns out to really do any catback exhaust additions to the 323is, I need to get a 328 or m3 midsection. The 323is came with a modified 4 banger exhaust. The more I know I guess. Hopefully my go to e36 still has the midpipe on it at the scrapyard. Picture is not mine. Top is the 323is midsection, bottom is 328/m3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
