EP. 14 My BMW E30 Restoration - Complete Underseal Application Process

Hi and welcome to my channel. In this video I will be going through the complete process of underseaing my e30 touring.
After nearly to years of underside repairs I finally got to the stage to underseal the car. It started with a 2k epoxy primer base on the bare metal, seam sealer, underseal and paint. This process was completed in a mere two days but that seeed far-fetched when we first started the process.
A huge thanks to my friend Ant Rowling for helping me throughout this process, you can check out his current project and show car here: ant_rowling?igs...

Huge respect for all of the efforts you have gone to in order to protect your E30 going forward. Thankfully I live in So Cal where the majority of our cars are not subjected to the rust-inducing elements you and your friends live with in your area of the world.

Thanks man. Yes unfortunately our UK cars take a real beating, especially during the winter months. I’m sure my car won’t be out on the road in bad weather now!

A super satisfying watch, great result! The grey underseal in the cartridge looks like interesting stuff, not far off OE textured finish either. Weird the way it spits onto the panel though. I bet you were sick of the sound of your compressor by the end. 😆

@BadE30 8 ай бұрын

Thanks man. You can also get it in a beige which is a close match for the colour if you don’t plan on spraying over it! That poor compressor is having a rest and an service when I get chance, it took a battering!

mate. That is …..stunning...… I'm currently refreshing the underside of my Z3 (which is half E30 half E36) and I was on my Z3 forum perplexed as to how you can spray sealant from a tube.... and you solved the mystery !... apparently an alternative is to brush it on and stipple with a sponge..... but that looks epic....

therapeutic to watch this video, looking forward to the end product, I had a lend of one of them cars years back and it was a great car, The only negative it didn't have A/C, does yours or are you retrofitting A/C, someone makes a kit for them driven by the serpentine belt as the car I had borrowed eventually had it fitted, this was back in 1980s,

@BadE30 8 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! I won’t be needing A/C with the car being the the UK! Would only be needed a couple times a year. But yes I have seen that kit😎

@dhilankerai3585 8 ай бұрын

Stunning work. It’s come a long way. One thing I would have added and am suggesting you do is to spray cavity wax inside all the frame rails. Just an added layer of protection for longevity of the underside. Good work nonetheless!

@BadE30 8 ай бұрын

Thanks man! This is on my list, but once the interior is painted and a few other bits are done. However, a good reminder as I do have so much going on at times!

Amazing work - Ive been following yourself and Ants builds for a while now - I'm at a similar stage with mine. Many years stripping and repairing the underside. Just epoxy primed it and had planned to over paint in hammerite 🙈 Figured the colours only for vanity, but after watching the extra underseal (and effort) you've gone to, seems worth going that extra! What size compressor did you use? I'll need to buy one as it's all been hand paint till this point 👀

@BadE30 8 ай бұрын

Great work man!! It’s not a quick process!! Mines a 100ltr and it was able to keep up with the spraying all day, I do feel quite bad for it though. Needs a service for sure now
