Absolutely incredible work. More artists then body shop mechanic. The attention to detail is simply stunning. Thank you for giving these ultimate driving machines a new lease on life.

Красавчик. Твоя работа восхитительна.... Не дадим машинам умиреть... Машины должны жить.

Save the E46 as it is such a timeless car. Fantastic cars.

Excellent workmanship and repair , many people don't understand the planning and effort involved in making such an almost invisible repair. They also don't understand why it's very difficult but not impossible to fabricate an inner wheel arch repair...it's also depends on the customer's wishes and wallet... I've been at this game since the 1970s I always try my best to not only please the customer but also to retain my integrity.. Again I say well done ....😀😀😀😀

Great job mate .got two of these to do my own cars. I keep putting it off .another e46 saved from the scrapyard .

Wow just wow what a nice job. E46 owner here same problem only not all those rust spots on the side of the car.

Gotta appreciate that steady hand effortlessly creating "Cutting lines" Wish i could bring my e46 round.. 1 owner 325ci waiting 😁

Thanks for making this video, much appreciated my e46 needs the same treatment

Nice job! More videos about this car needed

Хорошая работа

Nice work, not sure about lack of return edge on inner arch but looks fantastic. Got both arches to do on my 330d so nice to see others plan of attack. Done both sills so far and that took 2 1/2 weekends to do properly but looks factory. How many days work did you take for this video?

Hello, could you please add some more info about what kind of anti-corrosive colors did you use for long lasting and what sealer did you use?

It is an art.

Looks good. Where do you get the material for the fender? Cut off from a scrapped car?

How have you still got all your fingers? Lol great job, inner patch was great! Starting mine on Monday, can't wait!

What product do you use for rust conversion?

Excellent work there! however I think you could have gotten away with drilling the spot welds inside the lip of the arch and just cutting the inner skin out and a much smaller section of the outer arch panel, possibly only a section of the lip. That’s what I’m currently doing with my e46 m3 coupe.

wow

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍👍

💪💪💪💪

What brush do you use in 10:18??

Great job but the welding is killing me 😩

Infuriating you can’t get a arch repair panel for the e46 M3

How hard to do this if you dont have experience in welding, but will have all the tools

I've done it on my Opel Ascona. No previous experience, just got the tools and a bunch of scrap metal to get the feel for it :) It is a good idea to have a welder friend over to explain about the wire speed, gas, etc. so you don't make any critical mistakes, but it's not that hard, you just need to be patient and steady. PS Still no rust on that Ascona after 10+ years - but I don't drive it on salty roads either :)

Its not even that rusted, my e46 trunk sunk down , factory welds came apart idk how

There's _definitely_ something wrong with that ride.

ruda byłe, jest i bedzie kwestia czasu kiedy wyjdzie

A bit of a tetanus inoculation.

good work, but absolutely not worth the effort.

Yeah, get all that rust fixed so the owner can start replacing all of the expensive, crummy, fragile plastic items under the hood, the cooling system, the VANOS, window regulators, and all of the other German planned obsolescence repairs which make these cars depreciate like fake currency.
