so i pulled my sideskirts today so i could change them and noticed some rust
i started grinding away and that little bit of rust turned into a lot of rust and then eventually it was a large hole
luckily i am in the process of helping the GF out with some body work so i had a few things here to start
after grinding everything away i used por15 brush on rust converter and covered everythign on both sides (pic)
i used wax paper and a rubber spatula to spread some bondo glass around the fragile area after and it really helped strengthen the area (will get pics tomorrow)
to cover the hole i will use a bondo mesh sheet followed by a few layers of bondo glass and finishing bondo and then im using gravel guard on the whole area and then i will put the new skirt on
this kinda got me started on wanting to get more body work done, so later i will get a colour matched spray bomb and tackle a few other areas. i wish i was in the position to fix everything properly but for what i have im trying to prevent further rust the best i can

Went ahead and started my first diy on the 135
Prior to getting started i had no clue on the majority of the components
I recognized the alternator, turbos and intake thats it .lol
The dealer wanted 1k to fix the problem w/ the parts only costing 30$. No thanks bmw
Had to pull the Intake manifold to access one of the bolt holding the oil filter housing. why bmw WHY
Opted to stop and just clean the motor from oil residue
to be continued..
On the plus side I know most of the stuff in the bay now

My 43 year old valve cover was in terrible shape after sandblasting (heavily corroded, some parts looked like lava rocks). I was going to get it wrinkle powdercoated but to prep it properly, by brazing, would've just taken too long.
I decided to fill the imperfections with JB Weld, sand, repeat, then apply VHT wrinkle paint. If I fucked it up I could just blast it and be back where I started. Plus, it was only $10.
I think it turned out pretty decent.
Spoiler!
After first sanding. Filled and sanded again
After 3 heavy coats, sprayed in several directions
4 hours later
18 hours after spraying, 1hr @ 200*F
Scraped the lettering with a razor, then scuffed with 180 emery cloth

Finally was able to finish the 135 today after catching the flu on monday then a fever after 2 days (what a shitty start on my week haha)
sorry for the blurry pic i guess im still recuperating.lol
After doing the the Oil filter housing gasket I went ahead and replaced the oil cooler gasket
First fuck up on the car ripped a vacuum hose luckily i had alot of spare parts (im a hoarder that way.lol)
This time around putting it back is a breeze
First time air bleeding coolant w/ an electrical waterpump
SUCCESS!
Then i realized the last owner didn't put oil on the air filter so i went ahead and did that
started de-chroming the car
While waiting for the filter to dry i looked up the spark plug interval and its suppose to be at 47k miles so i said what the hell close enough.
I caught break on this one dealer wanted 25 a pop per spark plugs luckily lordco carry the OEM plugs and i got a sweet discount on it
And of course it needs a special spark plug socket tool
Ideally you would wanna do compression test before you buy the car to see if the motor is healthy but it didnt allow me at that time of the sale and i took a gamble!
and the results are....
A consistent 170 psi! now i can say it was a good buy .lol
I was very nervous when i was doing the test because of my experience with the nsx. Out of 4 nsx(S) that i saw 3 of them had a bad compression test
Usually after doing and finishing the job i hate putting it back together but today was an exception i was still riding high on the good compression result .haha

With maintenance out of the way time to mod!!
That's a great job!!
How many hours did it take you to do that?
I am not looking forward to do my maintenance on my 135

This is my first euro so prior i had no clue on whats what on this car because of that i was very meticulous.
I follow the DIY word for word so it took me close to 3 hours to reach the oil filter housing gasket .lol
Putting it back was easy at that point since you know where they go now.
2nd time around is definitely gonna be faster I actually didn't need to drain the coolant as my tools was able to access the bolts but like i said i had to rely on the DIY for exp.
My advice is get the proper tools to make the job easier
Since im learning that this direct injection engines are notorious with carbon buildup
Knowing the motor is pretty healthy i would want to keep it that way..
ICEBOY - What motor do you have in that thing? I'm jealous of your abundance of
Cams.
There might be an extra cam but check out how many valves
Spoiler!
It's an early generation 2TG. Basically a 2T/3T (common in late 70's-early 80's Corolla's) bottom end with a Yamaha designed DOHC head.
To put it in perspective, using EG Civic's as an example, my car came as a base model CX with no options, a D15 and auto (3K 1.2L/2 spd Toyoglide), the next step up in drivetrain would've been a D16 and 5spd (2/3TC and 4spd), and finally a B16 DOHC and 5 spd (which is what mine basically equates to - 2TG DOHC, T-50 spd and 4:10/6.3" diff.).
Actually, wait, my car has 1 option...shoulder belts that are removable.
Safety must've been a big concern for the original owner.

makes me glad i got a ppi done and the oil filter housing gasket was changed the day before i bought my 335i.
where did you get the special spark plug socket? i will need one of those soon.

Haha. You have valve envy. Were even haha. I also have the lap belt, with what looks like a shoulder harness removed. haha
This is 2nd Euro for me, my first one was a 89 E30 325 and it left me on the highway with a broken thermostat. I should have learnt then.
3 Hours works sounds very good for first attempt. Never hurts to be thorough.
Funny, I have been researching Walnut blasting as well. I read a thread on 1addicts that some guy did a detail diy for walnut blasting, check it out if you haven't. if you decide not to do a DIY, I saw some guys posting on CL offering to do walnut blasting or selling the kit for $200. Then there is a thread on E90 forum that BMW Bellevue does it for 500 and locally its ~700 all in.
Anyways, looking forward to updates to your car, either through DIY or not.
Might as well get an idea what I'll have to do sooner or later.

I came from Jdm(s) that's NA which is pretty reliable in my experience. The jolt of boost in this euro is pretty dang nice so i see why your coming back for 2nds.haha
With that little job i was able to see a glimpse of the other component if they fail or need replacing. The turbos, waterpump, fuel pump, clutch , down pipes etc. They are doable just troublesome since the crossmember/subframe is on the way. Even just to do the oil pan gasket looks like the subframe needs to be drop to get done! Its like BMW plan to do this so you are force to bring it to them or a shop
I saw the DIY thats why i plan to get the machine
See! 700$ is what they want to do mainly 2 things (remove the intake manifold and set the top dead center 6 times to clean the intake valves)
And this is gonna go on every 30-40k
Believe it or not its harder to remove the intake manifold from a honda than the bmw n54 motor.
Just like they wanted 1k to do the oil filter housing gasket job.
No thanks id rather use that money to buy aftermarket parts really.lol
Im actually just waiting for my coilovers to arrive at the border some time this week! I will dive into that job asap
No exp points on that yet but Ive done my brothers MK6 Gti and by the looks of suspension its almost identical so i have a little idea.

I actually find that my 335i is much easier to work on than my G35.
Exterior/interior lighting, oil change, battery, spark plugs, intake, exhaust, swaybars, coilovers, bumpers, side skirts and everything. I always run into an obstacle when working on my g35 but on the 335i everything is a breeze.
I did the vcg as well and it was easier than expected.
Only thing that was designed idiotically are the headlight ballasts, gotta remove the front bumper to access them.
