EP. 16 My BMW E30 Restoration - Getting my E30 on the floor after 2 years!
Episode 16, this is the final episode for my 'Parts to Pavement' series.
The car is finally back on the floor after 2 long years of weld repairs and restoring all the underside components.
All restoration videos for each component, including underside work are in the added playlist.
I have decided to leave the car on wheel skates so I can easily maneuver the car if required, hopefully this will not happen as much as it used to!
A few things left to do on the underside still, this will be revisited later on.
A big thanks to my good friend Ant who helped me install these components over the last couple days, check out his great e30 project on Instagram: / ant_rowling

A person can’t really appreciate a fully restored classic until you see it done… makes a guy wonder why he’s into cars in the first place haha awesome video

Glad you think so! It was initially very frustrating, but soon found the rhythm
Next time out the steering rack bolts from top of the car to the bottom. In case the nut is loosing, the bolt will stay in place, and you can feel it, now if the nut come loose, the bolt will fall to the ground

@@dhstube for the usual job this is how I do it, however you’re unable to remove the bolt if it is upright due to the engine being in the way. So the correct way is to have them bolt head down, this is also how it is from factory!

Seriously impressive...
Amazing work as usual, there's still a long way to go but I bet getting it onto its wheels almost feels like the home stretch? Would love to see this in the flesh

Looking amazing, are you using 280mm discs or the 310mm?
@BadE30

Thanks! 280mm so they go under 15” wheels, always liked the smaller wheels with big tyres

Yes same I had 16 and changed for 15, I want to buy wilwood in the future but I saw a e30 with the 310mm already that is why I was wondering which one you had@@BadE30
