Video

Nice video... good job !! Have a 2007 BMW 650i and some wear on that same bolster area of the car. Cream beige BMW calls it. Not sure I am brave enough to do this tho.

Thanks ..again, Thank you

How much torque did you use for the ball joint castle nut? Can’t find a spec for that… thanks!

Is it possible to dye beige black? Mines all beige like yours but I want the middle of the door cards and the arm rest black to break it up a bit.

I don't have one of those cars , just interesting to watch . I can see that if I was watching to learn how to reset the service indicator, I might be a bit disappointed. One of those jobs that's easy if you know how, not so easy if you don't.

I appreciate all of the videos you made on this car, and I hope the new owner enjoys it!

Very impressive result Glen, she is a stunner! I bet it was super satisfying to take a machine with really good bones and restore it and improve it to your taste then pass it on to the next caretaker. White with Burgandy interior combo is close to my heart. I was lucky enough in my youth to have a ‘86 Porsche 944 Turbo from ‘01-‘07 with the same color scheme. I always thought it was very classy and yes, very 80s.

2. The engine belt is whistling. I hope it's not a pulley. What should I do? By the way, is a Mercedes Benz ML 320 cdi

The filter I bought is a little smaller than the original. Apparently it works. Does it matter?

Hello Sir. Thank you for your videos. I just got 2 questions for you and see if you can help me

Great video!

Awesome outcome Glen! Keep up the good work and I would love to see more!

I absolutely love this whole project! I’ve got myself an NA, 1986 in white. I’ve loved working on it. It’s my first car I fully own and it’s my first car I’ve gotten to learn from. I’ve done mostly maintenance because I bought it at such low miles (18k), but so far this Chanel has given me the confidence to really dive in and make smart decisions on what to change and what to keep factory fresh. I look forward to the future of this build and I look forward to my own future with this car.

Really agree with your automotive philosophy. Thanks.

NICE

Thanks for sharing! I have a W163 and I installed a new head unit and it picks up FM channels but not a single AM channel. I know which connector and pin in the factory radio harness is for the signal amplifier; however, I don't know if it needs ACC power or something like a remote signal to turn it on. I can't find that information anywhere. Hah! I should have waited until the end and you showed it needs constant power. Thanks!

Got the same. Nice video - thanks. The soft touch is just a pain really - do you remember the color code?

Hi Glenn did the engine light come on when it went to Limp Mode ?

hey glen, love your content. I have a couple questions if you don't mind me asking. did you replace the fluid in the struts? if you've gotten the chance to drive it around, how are the lowering springs? since you mentioned that they seem to be softer, have you noticed better/worse handling or comfort?

Thank you for great video! We just did the drivers side control arm on a 2001 330ci. I wish I would have watched your video first because at 17:56 and onwards, you talked about how you first lined up the bushing bolts with the tube dowels and had the knuckle balljoint out while doing that. When we attempted at first, we did with the knuckle ball joint connected. After a little while fiddling with it, we realized the best way to do it was how you mentioned. We were able to align the bushing bolts to the dowels flush, but unfortunately even with new bolts, the top bolt crossed-threaded for some reason. We managed to re-thread the bolt hole using the bolt and tighten really well. The only downside now is if we ever have to do any control arm or/and bush replacement for the drivers side, we may have to always use that same top bolt because of the crossed-threading. A new bolt is likely to just crossed thread again. Thanks again for the great video!

hello.can you give me the address of the online store where you bought the seat covers . thanks in advance

They complicate it so you have to take it to them to have the work done 🙈 ....Good job man 👊 💪

You the man! Fellow Islander here as well, finally a break from the steaming weather. I have the same issue so I suspect I need to do this rewire as well. My key fobs both stopped working as well just recently...always something with these damn ML's

Hi, i tried to do the same, but i did turn the wrong way, and the bolt came off, and i have no more hand brake. Dont seem I'm able to put the bolt in and tighten it anymore. Any suggestions?

Its a shame the audio is very low. Great job.

Thanks for the tip on moving the coolant overflow tank!

Can you help me find the part numbers for the clips at 5:06? Mine are broken and I really don't want to have to pay for a whole new armrest assembly when its just the clip. My car has a Schwarz leather interior. Thanks!

The center caps seal the deal perfectly.

She has a great stance Glen! Can you please share the link for the 20mm hub centric wheel spacers?

Yah, I feel pretty stupid. The ‘88 NA my daughter bought came with a set of Z33 wheels. I installed 225/45/17 tires all around. I thought they looked a little narrow, but 7.5” is supposed to be the sweet spot for that tire. I just discovered yesterday that the rear wheels are wider. What a lost opportunity 😢 They had garbage 3mm spacers on the fronts for the center caps. I installed 15mm spacers all around, and I’m really happy with the look. Now to drive the tires off so I can justify getting a pair of 245s for the rears :) I’m liking your look with the gold!

Love it!!

A HUGE *thank you* for all the detail, including the required tools in the description 👍

Didn’t do the service I need do regen, sending back. Also didn’t clear errors. NFG

Really enjoying following along your restoration. Great work.

Hi, nice video and car. I was wondering how you made the sleeve/adapter. Thanks

Looks great. You are correct on the year differences. Only the usdm cars had the high mount brake light in 86. Everywhere else they had this spoiler

Glen, thank you for pointing me to this video. My interior is the same color. What is the type of paint and satin clear coat called? I'm assuming it doesn't chip off with time. I have a an auto paint store by me, I'm just not sure what to ask for. Thanks!

Wow! amazing work

Thank you. This video was great.

Nice job Glen!

Thanks mate

Thank you very helpfull ❤

Hi Glen! Do you have a video that is about painting trim? I've tried to prep and use a primer like bulldog and duplicolor and it just chips away looking awful. Thank you!

Glad the videos are helpful. I put off doing the seats for quite a while. It’s a fair bit of work but the end result is worth it.

Glen's Garage: out here quietly doing the heavy lifting. I've had a Ridiez/Interior Innovations leather kit in a box for a couple years and a set of 5pc seats partially disassembled for longer. It just became one of those projects on the forever back burner to replace the 3pc seats in my 84. 😑 And disassembly was so long ago that it makes reassembly a bit harder. Your videos are the perfect refresher that i needed to move my own reupholstery project off the back burner. Thanks!

I bought a car that had one adjustable and one non-adjustable strut on it. Went to replace my shocks and realized one went together (the non-adjustable side) and one didn't. I just bought a used non-adjustable strut and rebuilt that one. Now I've got two non-adjustable struts that are rebuilt.

Thanks this helps me 👍

Excellent tutorial. I used to really fight this job, you made it EASY. Thank you! Happy Victoria weekend

I never even thought about that. I may have to get a set for my z31

I never comment but I just had to share that this is hands down the BEST video guide for shocks. Straight to the point, very easy to follow, and all around was perfect. thank you so very much.
