Very very good

Literally can't take someone seriously when they are advertising for temu 😂.

I went to the Restore It 2 channel and there is no follow up showing the engine running.

Dommage.... le bronzage de la lame gâche tout

Amazing job .. where can I get the replacement bits to do mine ?

Brilliant work thanks. Couple questions. Is the paint on the hood OK for heat. Plastic knob for the pump?😢. Otherwise excellent

I feel like this is gonna be another Mercedes series even though you said it wouldn’t….. but I’m definitely not mad about it.

I remember this shell. Good to see it back on the channel

I love this bumper

I'm gonna buy 4000 tickets ❤

Do you guys also forget sometimes the shrink tubing? :))

Just get a tig welder mate...

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)

I like narration for complicated restorations. Explanations for what and why you’re doing something helps me understand what is happening on screen. Especially for multi-part projects like this.

I am a BMW lover would like to buy one but alas there is no way 😢😢

Just like others said, coolant through the throttle body is to prevent freezing in cold climates - some cars will not have it and some will - it all depends on the design and if they regionalise the vehicle for the domestic market it's being sold in. Never needed that function in Australia though, hah.

The coolant going through the throttle body is typically for keeping the plate motor warm/dry in cold climates

Hey dude I have never commented on a video before The channel reminds me of me when I had the privilege to own a H reg mice sport E30 Can’t get over it I sold it and bought a Volvo 940 to fit a car seat in the back and a massive pram Can’t believe it up to today Don’t sell it keep on with your passion mate Well done

put the spirit in spritz bottle.

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)

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.

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!

Дружище ты просто молодец! Такая работа и такой подход! Браво! 👍

I am watching you from Azerbaijan, Baku. I love your restoration videos and I support you. Never back down💪🏻. I have BMW E30 coupe 87' too. Fix my car by myself is my hobby. But unfortunately I haven't workshop for this. May be one day I will find workshop for my dreams and restore my car.😎💪🏻

Holly ads Batman!!!!

Your patch work looks much better than those early "patches" in Spain! Glad to see you've got the shop and future path of your channel sorted.

I am looking forward to more restoration on your e30 saloon.

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.

Love your work 👍

At this rate the rust repair will be done in 15 years.

I don't know how to weld but you making me want to try fix my e30 instead of paying someone to do it Good Job amazing channel

You take so long in between work that the stuff you restored months ago rusts by the time you come to start other parts : (

Btw, could you 3D print some of the parts, other than buying them? Will this solution be suitable?

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.

10:20 This is the problem I had with nearly all "project" cars I had. Dipping a car in Western Australia can be done but can more than double the cost of a resto. Also heath problems made it to hard for me to totally strip out a car and paying for it was just going to happen either.

I’d remove them stupid plugs weld them and please wear gloves

E30 garage is astonishing! I am in awe of the passion of some people.

Nice work but too commercial for my taste

That guy has to be MAD in love with E30 to make something like that. I would love to give him money to make my dream e30 m3 but we live in a world where not everything is possible :/

Great work mate as always, and my GOD those fenders are ludicrously expensive, sweet jesus. It's the price of a used car.

You can do smartrepair for the dent in the glovebox. There are kits avaiable with wich you are able to copy the surface pattern from the dashboard and touch up with some airbrush sprayed paint.

Залепуха. В скрытых полостях ржавчина осталась. Сгниёт через сезон. Лучше б не трогал
