Anyway, how come you haven't done more with that 325 car that you stripped down to the chassis (then painted orange to prevent rust)? It's been a while and I, and probably several others, want to see what you do to bring that incredible car back to life.

I spent most of my spare time this entire winter completely rebuilding an hvac unit (to retro fit on my e30 convertible) after I saw your video on it. I even ended up combining it with the automatic temperature control unit. Installing it was pretty much straight forward but now it is taking me forever to fit all the parts in the engine bay as with every bolt I remove I discover more rust... I am very patient but you really are on another level :D I can imagine to do this full time though. Once I get in the flow it can be relaxing even when physically demanding.

@andrewhamilton5830 2 ай бұрын

Just to add to comments about the throttle body heating - as air flows through the narrow airway past the butterfly it speeds up therefore the air pressure drops resulting in water vapour condensing to liquid form which can freeze in the colder conditions of a West German winter (!) resulting in ‘carb ice’ (common in piston powered aircraft hence the carb heat lever which uses preheated air from around the exhaust manifold)

@austinvitoux 2 ай бұрын

Saab did the same "coolant in the throttle body" thing for preheating the air going into the intake runners on a classic 900. I have no idea why, but you can delete them like on your BMW. Probably something common with Bosch systems. ALSO, I'd suggest purchasing a 3D printer for smaller, simple plastic bits. I've saved myself approximately half the cost of my Kobra 2 Pro printer so far for my Saab resto. You can even replace some flexible bits with TPU filament. I've also begun designing and printing my own replacement parts that are NLA from Saab with the aid of free CAD software available online (TinkerCad and Shapr3D)

Good to see you back Steve. Maybe it's just me, but I'm definitely an amateur welder, having said that I've now done lots of it, and I still find sometimes it goes great and sometimes it doesn't. Same person, same welder and settings, same wire, same gas, same steel. If I had my time gain, I would definitely have paid extra for the RTech instead of the Sealey Supermig I own. In my experience, I get best results on car bodywork steel (0.8mm to 1.2mm) using 0.6mm wire and leaving a gap which is ideally the same as the wire, about 0.5mm. Although larger gaps can be accommodated, the welding job is always less tidy. If you want a good, invisible patch, it's always worth spending the extra time getting a perfect fit with nice even gaps. Talking of white spirit, I use loads of it, particularly for cleaning oily parts. The best price I found for it recently was Halfords, don't know whether it still is. Keep up the good work.

@RestoreIt 2 ай бұрын

Great comment, thank you, Bob! You are spot on, great advice. I'm using 0.6mm (down from 0.8mm for years) which is helping, I just need to make thoes gaps a little smaller like you say, and turn it up a bit and I think I'll see an imporvement. The R-Tech is a dream machine and is doing wonders for my average welding. Oh yes, £4.99 for 2L is cheap! I'll have to pop in a get some. Thanks again, Bob!

Coolant flow through TB to prevent moisture freeze up

@reviewaccount469 2 ай бұрын

The '90 Nissan 300zx I'm restoring also has the coolant going through the intake and throttle bodies. Quick answer its for emissions. Long answer, they wanted to get the motor up to temperature quickly so that its working as efficiently as possible, as quickly as possible. Definitely remove all that crap and plug off the lines, because its useless and prone to leaks. My throttle bodies had pressed in pipes and I used a press to remove them for a cleaner look. Since you are in a loony emissions country, probably just don't show or tell us you did it so you don't get in trouble!

@leftventricle3 2 ай бұрын

Coolant is passed through the throttle body to prevent icing in very cold climates. If you do not experience temperatures below freezing in the place you park the car at night, you can delete this circuit. Typically you can loop the lines back into each other and cap the fittings on the throttle body.

@UploadingOCD 2 ай бұрын

Another great video! An idea for you for those pieces you can't reach and weld from the backside: don't fit the new piece on the exact contour. If you leave a space of around 0.5mm, it will allow the weld to penetrate deeper in. For the plastic dent, can you reach it from behind? If you do, try to heat and push to place.

@RestoreIt 2 ай бұрын

Thanks, dude! That's a great idea. I'm just trying to think how I would keep it flush and ensure there is a 0.5mm away from the piece beneath it? I can't really get behind the dent, it's just more of the same material. It'll be interesting to see how that gets sorted, as I'm not 100% sure.

@UploadingOCD 2 ай бұрын

@@RestoreIt Hi, not sure why you mentioned the metal beneath it. I meant you should make your new metal piece around 0.5mm smaller in perimeter to allow the weld to penetrate between old and new metal. This will give you better filling and not worry about places you can reach from the back side.

I can only think of 2 things why coolant needs to go thru that throttle body. 1. to help cool down the coolant by the air that flows thru it(seems unlikely) 2. Trapped hot air can rise and get to the throttle body which results in highte IAT and therefor less power

wrong, its to heat up the throttle body in cold weather
