Scotty Kilmer wasn't wrong, the Land Rover LR3 will drain your wallet faster than a beer chugging competition in Munich. Watch as I attempt to fix it ahead of attempting a 5000KM roadtrip across North America!

zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 3 měsíci
I restore my E90 M3's Style 219M BBS wheels to like-new condition by using bondo, sanding, primer, OEM paint and clearcoat. The results are amazing and it all cost less than $200!
M3 Headlight Restoration featuring Auxito
zhlédnutí 921Před 5 měsíci
I re-enact a parody of an infomercial talking about how easy it is to restore headlights. I sand the headlight lenses down using a range of 400 grit to 1500 grit sandpaper. I then use 2K clearcoat in 2 passes to cover the headlight lenses to look like new. I also swap out the OEM bulbs for a set of LED bulbs from Auxito, found here: www.auxito.com/FH8TWlClNhwsUg Use 15% COUPON CODE: MARKO

Welcome to the sensible version of @M539Restorations V8 M3 - and with 0 welding experience I attempt to custom weld my E90 M3's exhaust, comprising of catalytic converters and resonators.

I finished restoring my BMW 530i E34 from top to bottom and sold it - the question is, was it a profitable restoration?

Its a bittersweet day, join me on the final farewell drive as I deliver my fully restored BMW E34 530i to its new owner.

Do you even lift?? The Only Lift You Need for Small Garages
zhlédnutí 150KPřed rokem
I bit the bullet and finally got myself a proper car lift for my tiny-a$$ garage, and for tight spaces its the best value car lift you can get! This mid-rise scissor lift should be able to tackle any of the small to medium size car restoration project work I'm going to throw at it, and compared to a Quickjack, two post or four post lift is a much better option!

Disaster strikes my newly restored E34!

Some terribly bad luck yields some surprising successes in fixing other small issues on Project E34, my 1995 530i V8 with a 5-speed manual. I also build a DIY smoke machine and identify intake manifold vacuum leaks and solve my pesky check engine light issues common on the M60 BMW V8. Here is the video I used to help build one: czcams.com/video/EhNQiIRsCCk/video.html Project E34 Playlist, episo...

The long-awaited FINAL REVEAL - finishing my classic BMW V8 restoration after 2 years of work
zhlédnutí 4,4KPřed rokem
After 2 years, hundreds of hours and over a dozen CZcams restoration videos, I finally finish restoring my 1995 BMW 530i 5-speed manual and make it look like it just rolled out of the showroom. Lots of blood and sweat and held-back tears went into this build and I'm extremely happy and proud with how it came out. HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way!
Does a "CHEAP" M3 exist? The SHOCKING cost to fix my Manual E90 M3
zhlédnutí 10KPřed rokem
Sure, you can buy an M3 for cheap but how much will it cost to get it running and driving properly? I go through a full mechanical inspection of my 2008 E90 M3 sedan with the 6-speed manual... and surprise surprise the car isn't so cheap after all!
