    In this video we tackle the chassis damage on my #salvage #bmw #x3m which is no easy task so as much as I would loved to have tackled this entirely myself I have had to get some professional help. Along with that we also take a look at some of the parts I have been collecting to rebuild this car to better than its original condition.
    Also I would like the thank Evolve ARC for letting me work on and film the repair being done. www.evolvearc.co.uk
    And also a big thank you to @SYNETIQLtd for lending me the bonnet and to @littco for rebuilding the turbos!

      Did something like this at home for when I bought a cat s insignia. Had to replace whole outer wing panel. Managed to repair it myself without a jig or anything like that because it missed the chassis leg by like a mm

    No shame in having to call in the pro's Chris - rather it done properly than sketchy. Fair play to Evolve Arc, says a lot about a company, clearly top of their game and cool with it too. Would love to see more of what they do. X3M coming along nicely, been great seeing how these things go together (come apart lol). Looking forward to the next one!

  • @chrisg7004

    You've added even more credibility to the repair by calling in Evolve mate, which has added value to the final result too. Top Job that man!

    Dude! No apology needed, you’re learning… and if you’re learning so are we. Keep up the work fella, hopefully few more months you’ll have a unit with your own jig and you’ll be able to do this on your own. Keep
    Up the work mate. F**k the guys telling you to sell
    To Matt.

    Great to keep seeing this 'real world' rebuild... where your getting the pro's to do the jobs you can't tackle. Then being ready to jump back in there in for the stuff that is suitable to do in a 'DIY' environment. Looking forward to seeing the car back in your garage for the re build process.

    Congratulations on a 100k subscribers, well deserved, your honesty is refreshing, if it’s something that’s just too big for you to do you tell us and ask for help, that’s why your subscribers are increasing and why I subscribe to you along with Mat Armstrong and Tavarish, in my opinion the best crashed car restorers on CZcams. You are all different but have the same work ethic. Looking forward to the next instalments on the R8 and the X3 Competition 👍🇬🇧

  • @landyboy7
    @landyboy7 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Great video.... your honesty is what makes it. This format leaves us routing for you and willing you to succeed even if it was not the way you set out to fix the car.
    I know in time you will have a premises big enough to tackle massive projects like this whilst being able to do 2 or 3 others at the same time to keep the content flowing.
    Of course it was ambitious but the best way to learn to swim is in at the deep end hey :) Keep up the good work.
