For all of you E30 fans out there. The start of the BMW E30 325i Sport restoration series is coming soon! Although the project is a quarter of the way through, I'm going to backtrack with photo's and bring you guys up to the current day. I also wanted to thank everyone subscribed for 200K!! A KZread and Patreon give is coming very soon! Make sure you are subscribed for auto entry. Thank you everyone!

Ahh so you are doing a complete E30. I was wondering why you were restoring all of these parts and hoping this would be the case. As I have several project vehicles myself i'll be following that series closely. As an aside. It's awesome that they make rebuild kits or at least offer the parts individually to rebuild those calipers! Looks like E30 support is still strong. The 3 series is just excellent.

What painting system do you use?

Protip: Take some brake fluid on your finger and coat the piston seal and a coat the bottom half of the piston also. The piston will go in a lot easier and the seal won't dry out if you don't plan on using the part for a while. Also, install the dust cover on the lip of the piston first then press it into the caliper after the piston is seated in the bore, then press the dust cover into the recess of the caliper.

I LOVE that you're literally restoring almost every piece of the e30, rather than replacing a lot of the parts. I love these silent resto videos, and I love car resto-modding vids. Best of both worlds.

Excellent colour choice and congrats on 200K!

I love these videos. The amount of effort and time involved in restoring heritage automotive parts really adds to the value of the part. If someone has to spend days restoring one caliber, it highlights that sometimes it to more economical to buy a new part.

True. And spelling is CALIPER or CALLIPER. "Caliber" is a totally different word,

Cant imagine mines looking so badly rusted. But i can imagine the difference of additional stopping power after a clean up like this. Such a satisfying proces. Great video

No BS and fluff, straight to the point. I love it.

Utterly great videos. Your work has definitely inspired some DIY work that I've gotten into, no doubt it's happened for others too. Very excited to continue see the car coming together, piece by piece. Cheers.

After degreasing I would have thrown it to a bath of phosphoric acid for a day. Cleans up every nook and cranny, doesn't harm the parts and usually no need for a wire brush afterwards. But nevertheless, good job and props on using silicone grease on the slide pins!

Why would you put loctite on the bleeder valve? That thing has to be loose to bleed the air out of the brake lines.

Thanks, Richard.

Congrats on 200k subscribers. Locktite on the bleed nipple isnt needed, the nipple is the one part you want to move when bleeding the brakes. I've always found it easier to fit the piston before the dust cover, either way its still fiddly. Perhaps nickle plating the nipple would have added a bit of oooh, aaaarh and stopped future rust. Nice work as usual.

the satisfaction I got watching this is immense!!!

Another cracking video. Nice to see a caliper being rebuilt and restored instead of being replaced. Nice colour too.

I just done my calipers up, with the slide rails I was so pleased you applied the correct lubricant, so many ppl use grease and either too much or not enough anyway, also not knowing the repercussions using the wrong lube, wear and leakage causing contamination ti the pads. I 2k'd myne aswell only I mucked the shoe clearance with paint, however no big deal as I fixed that with my dremel. Good work Steve. Take care celebrating 2019 mate. All the best again. James.

Never seen someone do so much effort in his brake system hehe, i cant argue with that! this looks just awesome. Still have to say that you never ever have to force the brake piston in with a tool! This tool is only ment for servicing your brakes (new pads/cleaning) It is easely possible with hand . The grease must be high friction grease on the guides! I hope you learned from me. Its brakes we talk about, those must be save ;) Still love this channel to watch!

I’m not an E30 expert but just want to let you know in case some paint needs to be removed from those areas. One area of the car not to mess around with; brakes. Love the channel.

@Tailss1

@@forevercomputing The piston was replaced and it's my understanding you should hone the bore to allow the new piston to seat properly. There is some seriously tight specs with these as working pressure (and heat) can be very high. Braking on a steep hill for example. There is no margin for error as this is a critical part of the cars brakes and you need to be able to trust it.
