I'm very excited to bring you the next episode of the BMW project. I'm going to start really focusing on this. Expect to see pretty much every single part be restored one way or another. Also, this video was filmed last week. The paint camera is lying! Cheers guys.

Is that electric impact any good?

You put the bolts for the steering rack in from the top, be sure to put em in from the bottom, once the engine is in, you’ll never be able to get em out without dropping the subframe or raising the engine.

I think that would be beyond the scope of what someone can do in their garage/shop. He would have to take it to an engine shop to get the cylinders honed at the very least.

Rebuilding your engine, so long you don't discuss flying the surfaces or reboring the cylinders is a job someone can make in their bathroom. Seriously, there's no magic involved, and aside from keeping clean and following instructions like torque and order, it's easy. My first rebuild was done in a tent in my yard, 10 some years ago, and the Merc it belongs to still runs strong to this day.

I think it depends on one's confidence level. If you feel comfortable tackling it, go ahead. If not, nothing wrong with handing it over to pros. You're good either way.

@@aserta A Merc isn't the same as a BMW, and you didn't mention the year, car model or what type of engine used. Your blanket statement is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing could damage or cripple their engine. If in doubt, leave it to professionals.

just a tip for those lower control arm bushings, never use any lubricants on them, they dont seem like they can spin on you, but I've seen it happen before, in bmw technician training they recommend using glass cleaner, it does a good job on the install and dries up completely

You should also have the cars weight on the ball joint when you torque it to spec to prevent under or over torque.

Isopropyl alcohol works wonders on bushings and grommets. Dries faster than windex with no residues. Also works for sliding wires through tight harnesses and connectors.

My favourite is "If you grind your welds, you're not a welder, you're a grinder" ;)

Great job! I have the same car stored in the garage and plan to restore it completely in the future. Your videos are extremely helpful and informative, don’t stop filming absolutely every step. It is amazing!

when you're welding up holes, dont even try weld to them, just get tiny little tacs/weld onto the side of it, once you got that all the way round, you can just hold the welder down for 3 or so seconds and it'll all melt together and hopefully not blow through, will look a hell of a lot better also!

I love the super-quiet impact gun. Need to get myself one of those. Could do with picking up a silent hammer while I'm at it too. The ones I have are far too loud. EDIT: Great job by the way! I think these types of videos have to be classified as the new "Most Satisfying Videos on the Internet".

Thankyou for your responce yesterday, means alot that you'd taken time to read and reply, look forward to the next update. Cheers James

Always so thorough with the prep and painting. Not only is it satisfying to watch but the finish in the end product is always spot on.

Great! I love these careful reforms. As much as possible, I have always done the same in my old cars in Brazil.

Just dropped a load of E30 parts to be sand blasted. These videos have been such a huge inspiration to me!

You've put the bolts for the steering rack the wrong way, bolt from below, nut on top. Otherwise you would not be able to take the rack out with the engine on subframe.

Thank you so much for making these videos. You are saving me thousands of dollars. I'm excited to see the e30 put back together. I have few mechanic skills but luckily you are showing me every step. I start hunting for my e30 as soon as I sell a bike and a jet ski.

Outstanding job!

Perfect just perfect love to see this bmw finished great job man keep it up

Great job man looking forward to the rest

Loving this series!!!!

You’re a great painter and you’re gentle with the parts. Great restoration techniques. That being said, the only thing I would have done differently was to send that sway bar to a powder coating facility. That’s why the media blaster wouldn’t touch the paint!

you are the best mechanic and restorer I ever have seen. I wish the best.

I laughed when you put down your welding ability. I wish I had a tenth of your confidence. I’d be scared shitless taking all those parts apart.

I love you Restore ❤🌷

As a Brit tinkerer, it is comforting to know that great things are being achieved in sheds and lock ups all over country, from Mars Rovers and Hover bikes to Beemers and Tilley lamps.

Pretty great video. I'm taking this series as inspiration to help convince me to continue fixing my car. I should have gone the same route as you did with the sway bar since I don't have a blasting cabinet. I also should take note to use lacquer as a final coat on suspension components since the new paint is rubbing off on the suspension.

Cool restoration!

thanks for sharing. amazing video restoration.

Ruh hastası etti beni yeminle izleyip izleyip arabayı söküyorun 😎

Great video! I get really excited everytime someone restores a classic car! I wish I could start restoring my car the soonest!

Great work!!! It's very interesting to watch all you are doing!

I always get amused with your videos. Keep it up man!

You always do a high level of restoration. very well done indeed!!!

Awesome, as always! Keep up the good work, cheers.

I'm really enjoying your automotive restoration videos. It's really satisfying to watch, I have a 1968 Mercury Cougar and I'm constantly sitting around taking 50 year old parts apart and cleaning them, whether or not if I can save them is a different matter. lol

The car is gonna be amazing man

Nice work.

good JOP MAN keep doing what you doing👍

I’m loving this. I’m doing the same thing to a mazda6

Brilliant work! Makes me want to restore my E60 530i. Then I remember that once I take something apart and reassemble it, there are always a few extra parts that are left behind and I go back to watching your videos 🤔
