Indeed. Never seen how an e30 jack point actually is fabricated by hand and it looks just like the factory did it👍🏻🇩🇪

Unlike a lot of resto channels on KZread, you actually show all the processes, and we can learn from them. I hate the shows (American) where they talk a lot but don't show much of the work being done. Great skills and excellent channel

Can you show us a little more of the rust neutraliser and why you use it on some sections and not others? Fabulous work! Very satisfying to watch!!!

Steve that’s naughty of you using that grinder with out the shield on

Thank you for watching and the positive comments it really helps. We always try to improve our work :)

I really enjoy the editing in these videos. I also like that you don't just buff the rust down, you're smart enough to know to cut about 2 inches away from it to stop future problems. Nice job guys!

I never knew how intricate metal work was. A lot of skill and experience, of course. What floors me is the amount of patience required. I don't think I could do that. Respect, respect and respect. Thank you for sharing!

Another fantastic job Steve.

work done is incredible, and the video filming and editing is great too ! cant wait for the next episode.

Always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman. Keep up the great work

Thank you for your educational videos. You're doing a fantastic job. Respect.

Quite amazing watching a craftsman at work, meticulous attention to detail

Thank you for the more detail views and close-ups in this one! I sure hope Colin pays you a pretty penny ... the amount of work you have to put into this rust bucket is insane

I admire how much patience you guys have, great to see how much is involved in restoring these old cars.

Ur like a Jedi of the bodywork......the force is strong with this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this channel a great British version of hand Built Cars fantastic 👍👍

what the hell of a job...... requires precision, perseverance, knowledge, experience... Just Massive!

Perfect restoration, nice

Thanks for the video. Steve, you do amazing work. I like the fact that when you tack a piece in, then before finishing the weld you assess the fit. Many times I have seen you cut out tack welds to adjust a piece. A couple of times you cut the whole piece out and reset it, because with multiple bends and angles it would show when painted. Thank you for your professionalism. It really is too bad that you are putting all this work into this car for Colin, only to have it hidden away in a hole in the ground!😂

More splendid work, I hated metal work at school, but love watching you guys make it look so easy - I make paper models, and the bending & forming have very similar skills... apart from the welding! Lovely job so far 💪

Can see why Colin has you doing the work,👍

Hello Steve and Ryan, I literally can't say enough good things about this channel I think its the greatest channel on KZread and will always be the great. Im watching this at my brother's house today and he loves it too. I have poor internet reception at home and I wasn't able to watch them very well. Me and my brother are watching this on his tv and im letting my phone play the video so it will get credit that i watched it..I want you to get the views...ive been telling others about this channel and I hope you get ten zillion new subscribers. You guys are the best and the whole team at YCR the best 👌 👍 ❤. Much love to you guys..

The front sill and floor look so much better. 👍

Good work, enjoyed watching. ☘

The amount of work is crazy and i love it!!! I like people like you guys! Also Wayne Carini from the shop F40. They are like, well it cost 200k....but then you get what you deserve!

Hi there you are amazing to watch a master of your trade thank-you for showing us how its done 👍

Inspiring work.

God colin thanks for turning me on to these lads. Incredible work

Absolute legend

Very clever guy obvious where ryan gets it from stunning work m8 😊

Keep the old car on the cars :-), you are doing a great job, thanks for the uploads :- )

Løfte punkter er ofte utsatt for rust på grunn av mye løfting og alder. Bra jobba . 👍👌 Alt kan repareres.

You never fail to impress Steve. Absolutely stunning work 👌

Maybe in a few years my 2008 Abarth 500 will have to make a trip there, it has had a rough life

Amazing craftmans ship. Really enojying seeing these videos. Only downside, is when you are as skilled as you are, it looks as easy as everybody can do it with ease :D

proper job 👌

Great work! Glad to see you wearing a helmet.

Some times I think you work miracles when you primer over a repair. I see the repair from start to finish I know its there and then I couldn't find it after primer.

Brilliant video and methodology of checking through the floor of the car for rot and repairing it.

Great video. Do you guys ever consider dipping a shell instead of grinding?

Excellent sill repair loved the joggle fits a treat 👌

Im currently learning metalwork as a hobby, and seeing the skills of these guys is really inspiring! Why was the first hole patched in two steps rather than with one large sheet?

When you know Steve ya know! Perfect job perfect work! Nobody would know if they hadn’t seen you do it pal❤️

Addicted to this build!! Gonna get a brew, find a comfy chair and watch away

Brilliant channel guys really enjoyed your videos

Delightful to watch again....🤔😏😀🇬🇧

Habt Ihr schon mal die Rhodius Fächerscheiben mit dem Sichtfenster getestet. Ich finde die genial.

Great work. It's difficult to work out what is actually holding the holes together on this heap. !!

So strongly reminded of dentistry. Removing metal that seems “good” so you can clean away the rotten stuff. Mind blown 🤯

Nicely done. Love the vids. 🙂

Thanks for another great lesson Steve! Cheers. Also Steve 😊

Thank you Steve :)

When you see "pin holes" like that, do you check for the other side to see if it has already spread, and if not do you merely weld a circular plug in after removing the rust?

I notice there is no bracing on the unibody while on the rotisserie. Is there ever any conccern about the rust weakened unibody flexing and therefore being out of alignment when all is welded back together? It really is a pleasure to watch somone with top notch metalworking skill do their thing!

I greatly respect the craftsmanship, and admire the patience that has to come with it. As I have said before, if this car was a horse they would have shot it ... long ago.

ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO 👍🏻👌🏻

where does all the dust go? extraction fan? (or lungs) very interesting to see the hidden rust under the underseal, i've seen "pinholes" welded up after drilling through with copper held behind on some lesser channels.

hole lot of love

Nice work

Steve excellent work Can i suggest you look at the last Late brake show to view the extremely rare BMW estate that needs restoring? It is seriously rare and needs your flair and competence. Great work

Awsome work as always 😊You guys forgot to weld on a new jack point 😉

The paper you are using to mark and make templates... Is that a special king of paper or are you relying on dirty gloves to make the markings on the paper??? Super practical to have in an arsenal of tricks!

Sehr gut, Steve!👌

im an amateur welder, why the point point point weld? does it bind better? or is the sheet so thin you need breaks inbetween. sorry if im stupid.

Obligatory comment for the stats, brilliant as always.

Hi Steve, quick question for you, both you and Ryan have fixed the same areas of the 3 BMW’s in the shop. Wouldn’t it have been beneficial to duplicate the panels,rather than remaking them individually?… Not a criticism just an observation. Keep up the excellent work.

After you removed the angle support of the jacking location at 3:32 u repatched the area but u didn't weld a patch for the angle support for the jacking location my question is.... Is it okay not to as u did at12:01 just wondering

You didn't put back the little bracket that u traced out with the paper???

might wanna wear a mask while stripping the undercoat and keep up the good work mate

I love your videos, but I haven't seen a conclusion one yet. Do you break down the costs at the end of a project? I would like to know what they are and I'm sure many others would too.

@Jeesus353

3 ай бұрын

Was thinking this as well as I also would love an e30 but only if it went through a similar treatment as they're mostly rotten nowadays

How come you didn't dip/sandblast the car from the get go?

That underseal seems to cause quite a few problems. I guess it harbours moisture behind it.

Steve absolutely outstanding craftsmanship,👌is it better to delete these floor drain caps or keep em like oem

Well i either see a half floor being made up or lots of small patches , but then 1 patch and plenty of pin hole welds

You removed the reinforced metal plate for the OEM jacking point that was welded to that brace in rocker area meant to help take the weight of the car when jacked up. So that metal reinforcement plate needs to be welded in the exact location it was on the brace. Otherwise the rocker area will be crushed if someone tries to jack up the car there. Unfortunately you can't even tell where the correct jacking point/brace location is anymore to add the final reinforcement plate, because you covered over the brace. Does Colin no longer want the factory jacking points?

So I guess I never thought about simply just measuring the other side for it's position or maybe one of the other 5 E30's we have in. Kinda simple really when you think about it. 😁 maybe reflect on the simplicity of the solution instead of the complexity of the problem that you have decided to fabricate before commenting :)

@smavtmb2196

I wasn't trying to be rude, you seem pretty upset. I just wanted to understand what the plan was, as you moved on to other areas of the car without marking the location for the reinforcement or giving us any indication you'd be coming back to that to finish it. So my question shouldn't have been a shock. And seriously didn't justify your hostile/arrogant reaction. I'm shocked as I'm a fan not your enemy.

If it's surface corrosion and pleanty of metal thickness then treat it. If it's rusted through cut it out :)

Love it!. Old World skills at work here!. Mindyou the car was made from proper thickness metal!. Try doing this with a Tesla im 30 years! 🤣🤣 Nuff said.

somebody please tell me the music...

I had an old 1980s Y Plate E21 323i. Under each seat was a circular plate that rusted and let in water. I had to swap them over with new sheet steel and weld them in. Can anyone tell me what they were for? I can only think they were due to some part of the factory assembly line or to let the water out if yee drove into a river. A M Badged car but when BMW had to shift old style bodyshells I was told. Just top trimmed and a twotone paint all round. No performance upgrades from a standard E21 though. Or suspension, standard or not I wouldnt know. It was really fast for me at age 23. The last owner that I bought it from may have had sprayed the car himself. There were M Badges outside but it had the 3 stripes on the seats too. After a diesel mistake, fixed, system drained, the wrong fuel had dropped all the carbon off the whole exhaust to the the twin tail pipes. My mechanic said drive it till the sparks stop ( Big roman candles at full throttle) I opened it up on the A road, to shift the crap and the Police saw me. Theyd never seen the like before, didnt want the hassle. Think they said they saw me a mile off. Telt me to go home

i wonder what you would call this skill its not quite black smithing but it's not quite welding.

Your BMW is called Johnny, Colin

You’re obviously really skilled and great to watch you work, but it does hurt to not see you wearing a dust mask whilst sanding and seeing the dust fill the air around you

lots of work in this car

The thick stuff he's grinding through is sealant/undercoating. He should definitely be wearing a respirator or at the very least a dust mask while removing it.

To be fair, there are a lot of areas that are not corroded....

This is how to eat an elephant!

You should really be using a respirator.
