You can hammer and dolly that out pretty easily, never having to answer to comments like this again.  😀

Replaced the old deteriorating poly motor mount with the OEM rubber style... I no longer feel like I'm in a blender!

This weekend we made some more progress on the rear subframe mount / inner rocker.

Before removing part of the outer sill that was still left and the remaining inner sill we braced the car a little more

 

Before fully removing the inner sill we decided to first weld in the subframe mount for good.

 

Using the large arms on the spot welder we were able to weld the point to the floor

 

From the inside

 

Finally I stitchwelded the subframe mount to the floor, I decided to tack weld instead of laying a full line down since the floor is pretty thin anyway

 

Mount removed, the jig is still able to come off very easily + measuring diagonally from the front subframe points, both measurement are identical

 

 

My phone battery ran out so I don't have any more pictures of the removal of the inner sill. There was some surface rust on the flange of the floor but that was cleaned up. the little section of B pillar that runs through the sill is also still in very good condition, only the lower flange that's welded onto the outer still it rusty so that will get replaced as well.

 

Little "fact" the sills that BMW sells aren't correct the bigger flange should be on the bottom of the sill

[Howardpowered]

wow , @D.martijn that’s amazing fab work. 

[BarneyT]

Wow is correct, @D.martijn that’s incredible work…well done.

 

i changed the oil in my Inka tii today and replaced the push button switch on my fog light…

[d.hitchcock]

Replaced the ignition switch, using a NOS piece I sourced on FAQ, natch. When disconnecting my battery, discovered that my negative cable was somewhat loose. Car starts up a lot more quickly now! lol
