I bought 2 new bmw e24 wings for my restoration 7 years ago at £650 each from maindealer so money we'll saved

When is the next Mat Armstrong's BMW video coming out, I can't wait to see how Mat explains the amazing job you've done on his channel.

I’m sure you probably already know this? But I would reinforce the steering box mount on the subframe before putting the car back together that is the Achilles’ heel of the E 24 6 series

Really? I had mine for 6 years and drove it hard, never had a problem with this. The rubber joint on the propshaft however, would last about 9 months! it was a great relief when I found that Euro Car Parts did it for £16.89, as opposed to £120+VAT from BMW. That was 25 years ago, don't lnow what it would be now?

The content you create isn’t the sort of thing I enjoy watching - but I just want to acknowledge your unbelievable talent and patience.

These videos have everything! Amazing craftsmanship, behind the scenes action and unrelenting dry humour. Does life get any better? Nope.

Mat Armstrongs E24. The gift that keeps on giving

Very interesting to see how complex some of these panels are "behind the scenes". Not something the layman usually gets to see.

Awesome fab table. Good to see you up and out of the dust

Absolutely amazing skills as usual. I could watch you and your dad all day. Total in awe

It's looking quite full in that huge garage. Great vid 👍

Ayu Ryan another brilliant video brother stay well bud 👍🏻👏👏

A pleasure to watch a skilled man at work.

Hard to believe it’s been 9 months. Both that you’ve been working on it for 9 months (time flys watching from a recliner) and it looks like this in only 9 months. And you’ve made great progress on other vehicles at the same time. Not to mention produce these videos!

Brilliant, incredible talent and patience - thank you

Some of the best fabrication you have done

Amazing work as always Ryan

Hope the BMW is not getting damaged with all the swarf from grinding and covering rubbing, still love your craftsmanship

Fantastic work.

Love the work ethic!

A mighty fine bit of work you've done there creating that wing part. Great video, never apologise matey.

Makes me smile when I see you do the metal work... how it should be done...

i admire your skills as a metal fabricator... awesome work

Amazing!! Keep up that good work of yours !!

Not owning or a load to drive because of illness but I'm not a car fan but watching you bring this classic car back to it's former Glory is amazing to watch I'm a big fan of Matt Armstrong even though I'm not a car fan I still enjoy those kind of builds

You are so very talented in what you do what you have done to that car is absolutely outstanding. Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m sure Mat is gonna be very pleased…. it will be like a new car when you finished😊😊😊😊

I had know idea this was even possible…. Your value to old cars is invaluable, your an artist buddy unbelievable skill set, so jealous you have that ability 👌🏻✨✨

Nice work Ryan. Those wings really have to be saved nowadays, new ones are 2 arms and 2 legs to buy, if you can still get them. If my 8 series project is anything to go by, some parts I priced up when I started work on it about 7 years ago are still available but have nearly tripled in price, so if wings were £650 7 years ago, who knows what they will be now. It is obvious that a lot of commenters have never tried to restore an old BMW or they wouldn't make some of the comments.

perfekt work👍👍👍

I think you should be up for next 'top gear' presenter- you have all that it takes and more ; )

Another artwork! Panel-beating in two directions, PLUS a step..... I reckon it looks easy and nice on paper when designed, but quite a challenge in the flesh/ metal. But you managed, as usual. Do i see a orange BMW E3 in the background? Another series on another beautiful car i hope. Thanks again!

Well done on that panel, the swage lines would be hard to get to fall in place with the rest of the guard panel. Cheers from New Zealand. 🐞

I think your job is safe ryan no AI robot could possibly recreate all those impossible fabrications even if it could work day and night without a break and as for editing the footage.............

The Artist. That’s how I call you. I’ve looked at the 38 episodes (I think), your job is amazing. « Majestic » is you actually. Congrats. I wish I could be Musk, I would have offered you (well Mat) big money for this car I belove. One thing is shame, steering wheel is on the wrong side (i’m from Belgium), curious, isn’t it ? We have as well some sense of humour this side of the Manche…big thank you.

Hi , amazing video mate!!! You' ve got such a talent to do this. Personlig I could buy old car in California, Spain,Dubai what's so ever. Have good weekend bro

HMS Rusty Mc Beemer! More sprout please! 👍🇬🇧

A real pleasure to watch you work, i look forward to each and every update on all your projects, Did you have time to get your S4 sorted? If not why not try a collaboration with saving salvage he is a vag man who loves one thats been in a bump dose great work too

To remove ball joints you just need to pop the taper by hitting the arm where the tapered part of the ball joint goes through the steering arm. Usually one good hard hit with a hammer with the nut backed off

cool

Will this project ever end ? I need to see it at Mat’s unit ASAP

Top lad

Awesome work Ryan! I see you cut out just the rusted parts ending up with odd shapes, lots of corners etc. Is it not easier to cut out a bigger piece that is square?

Ryan, you're quite the plowhorse

Before you paint the front crossmember, weld and reinforce the steering box bracket - not the one with the long through bolt but the other one. They are well known for breaking.

That car has come a long way, but to be fair you have put in some serious hours on it.

whats gonna happen to this car? are you gonna reassemble it or is it going back to Mat?

How do you ensure that all the bits removed and the nuts and bolts can be reassembled correctly?

Had to fill the front wings on mine every summer. They were £500 each in 1990.

Is there any further video on this car? Or is it done?

Wish i could afford for you guys to finish my mini

How is the BMW now? We don't see anything of this car anymore?

Can we have an update please. It’s been a while since you showed any work done. Thanks in advance.

It is almost a month without any updates

Why weld up the opening for the indicator in the side of the wing are you planning on replicating an earlier car. The first e24s didnt have indicators in the wings, but also had a much less flared wheel arch than cars from 1982 on

That cannot be a flat welding table you doing the heavy torqing on, now can it?? 😂

What type of car is the one behind the E24, on the spit with the very big gap in the roof

Does this vehicle belong to Mat Armstrong and you are doing the work for him, or did you buy the vehicle off him and you are restoring it for yourself or a customer?

Where abouts are you based in Yorkshire pal

I mean ! How lucky is this car ? And your going to give it back to him 😢

When you weld in a piece like ‘the ship’, it gets ground down, smoothed over etc. But can you show us what the other side looks like, and is it prone to rust on the other side? Ta. Bye.

The idea is to show people how fabrication skills, work can be done and hopefully help in real life situations if parts aren’t available. Or too expensive

Craftsmanship And quality att. To Detail are incredible . But in real world nobody would put so many hours into a non vintage extremely rare car. Just buying a new floor pan and throwing all that rusted hulk out would be much cheaper

this is a show car

What sort of dude gets all these man hours for free and never even shows his face or thanks.
