Best videos ever! I'm buying tools slowly as I see you using them! Addicted 😀!! Busy with my car, small bits of restoration. Thanks for inspiration guy!
You inspired me to renovate my e30 4 door sedan. So far i got the exterior done and painted it looks clean and i replaced the broken interior parts with my limited money (im 16 years old 0and preparing the car in 2 years xd) however i dont think i can restore the engine by my self i dont have many tools and experience but im planning to change the sparkplugs and gas pump by myself thank you for inspirating me love you from turkey.
Hell yeah Cem. Love this comment. You sound just like me when I was around your age. Glad I have been apart of your E30 renovation. Keep going and you'll have a mint E30 with the experience to do others and make a living from it :D Cheers dude.
Man so many work on gear box you should replace the orings sealing in front and back on output shaft and on switch small one. I own coupe IS and I have done all this. Take my advice. Thanks for your work.
I have been watching your channel for a long time and I admire you for perseverance and the enormity of work you put into this project. Greetings from Poland.
This is the one channel that as soon as I watch the new video, I always check to see if I’ve somehow missed a new episode in between - but alas I’m always disappointed to find I’ve actually seen them all and will just have to wait patiently for more new content. I might have to binge re-watch all the vids again after the whole car is done.
I have watched several videos from this guy and he's amazing work, I cannot freaking understand why people would post negative likes on his procedure and work ,you got to be a freaking moron to dislike this guy's work, you bunch of idiots out there ,this guy's giving you a schooling on how to restore parts and car, thank you for the videos, excellent work keep it up,
@@RestoreIt Thank you for sharing this awesome journey with us! The E30 is one of my most favourite cars, especially as i live in Munich, where it was built :)
Wow, you are doing an amazing job. It is so satisfying to watch, I'm sure it is much more satisfying to you to see this all come together. Keep it up, it is a lot of time and work but it will be well worth it when it is done.
Absolutely jealous (the good kind of jealous). You’re living the restoration dream. Great, great work. Wish I had the time and the body to tackle this level of work…because I sure as hell wouldn’t want any help. 😂
Your new clutch pressure plate is covered in preservation lube to prevent rusting. Dont forget to wipe it off before installing. Great vids, keep up the good work
So, why are there downvotes? I mean, this channel is so niche specific and the execution of the restoration so attention-to-detailed, why would someone watch it and not like it? I mean, if it is not your thing, don’t watch it. If it is, how do you not like it?
Hi, I’ve just binged your entire library in the last 24hrs - so easy to watch you cracking on - thanks for making the content. I have to commend you on your commitment to the small details - inspiring stuff. Many thanks and regards Mic - Wales 🏴
The bit you didn’t no how to take off on the engine wiring look, it’s the big black nut that keeps it locked down on the bracket. Can’t wait to see the end result🤘
@@RestoreIt I would recommend you to directly request a suitable oil from BMW. You just have to give them the chassis number and they will find the right oil for your gearbox.
So close! So close! So excited for you! This has been one heck of a job! I think we're looking forward to celebrating with you! I hope you plan to do a CZcams on the first ride so we can go along. Take care, my friend. Talk to you soon.
Next full engine build, you should spray each component a different bright colour, emphasise the level of detail you've gone to! Pink, yellow, purple, blue, orange, red would be sick!
One thing you absolutely should do is change the gearbox oil, because going threw everything, painting everything and not changing the gearbox oil would be insanely stupid
Great video series mate, I am really enjoying watching them. I was thinking during the previous videos about how nice it would be if you plated some of the hardware that could not be painted so it is good to see you are getting a plating kit.
That gearbox came out amazing... The prep work and masking up you put into it paid off. Please as other say though make sure you do the required mechanicals, oil, shifter, release bearing etc. No good looking shiny but being mechanically weak. Good work
Looking good. I see in one of your comments you are getting new seals for the gearbox... they cheap and removing the gearbox is a pain so better to do them now. As for replacing anything inside the gearbox... if shifting is still smooth... doubt you need to do anything on the inside, but you can change the oil anyway. Never know what might have happened while in the previous owner's care and you can look for any big metal particles/bits which might indicate a problem. You can do the same check with the diff. Although I'm quite jealous of you being able to do this, I really want to see it done. Great work.
Long way to go before we see this engine in the coupe. But soon there will be a video of an engine, going to the touring. It's kind of restored, just not to this level.
Ida scraped that skid plate into a garbage can and save my solvent for more appropriate cleaning. When you put it back together get a new pressure plate, clutch, pilot bearing, throw out bearing and slave. You'll be glad you did if any of it's bad. Also, replace the rear main seal on the motor and have the flywheel professionally cut. I did transmission work and clutch work for 20 years.
*Mount the bench grinder!*
*_PLEASEEE_*
SOON
Btw. Love your videos! So much attention to detail! 😍
You know you're ocd when you're detailing the inside of a bell housing 😂
Great video as usual!
i think its official. Haha thanks.
a clean part is easier to diagnose later
I cannot wait to start to see the reassembly of this car!!!
All to come! :)
Your attention to details is mind-boggling...just remarkable. Mad respect for all your hard work!
You’re restoring that E30 from the ground up, this thing is going to be MINT!!
Great project, nice seeing a fellow guy restoring his car with the same eye for detail as me!
Keep up the great job.
You do amazing work. I’ve seen other restoration videos, but u do way nicer job than the others I’ve seen.
I've just watched all 7 episodes and can't wait for the next!!!
Great job absolutely inspiring!
Nice going so far Restore It. Remember, drinking plenty of water is key when living in a free oven.
Been waiting all week for your videos! Always enjoy watching them. Great restoration by the way.
Thanks Malcom. Sorry it was late. My postal situation at the moment in Spain is bad. Everything should be back to normal this week :)
Best videos ever! I'm buying tools slowly as I see you using them! Addicted 😀!! Busy with my car, small bits of restoration. Thanks for inspiration guy!
I wait everyday for a new video to come out. You do amazing work thank you for sharing your project!
I wonder how many gallons of paint are gonna be on this car. The cost of all the materials must be astronomical!
No shit
DoctahWhoopass He hand restored most of the parts so he saved a lot
Idk if this is a roast or not but if it makes him happy and it’s worth it to him that’s all that matters
And all for a pretty ordinary car
@@gus6rocks all for that CZcams money while getting a nicely rebuilt car
I've got to say, this is taking car detailing to a whole other level...
Great to hear, thanks metalhead!
Please say when please please pretty please with sugar on please. I need more on lockdown.
Thursday all going to plan! Plus u have half a terabyte of e30 m3 footage to edit!
It's crazy how much I look forward to each new installment in this series! Please, do keep them coming.
Thank you Gary! Loads more to come and I promise you they'll get more frequent.
Can't wait to see the assembly. Good job!
I love your videos. I like that it breaks down the process in detail, it gives me a lot of confidence on doing my own restoration project!
Really glad to hear this dude.
The mother of all restorations! Others are restoring little toys and tool, but this is Whole freaking car. Cheers mate!
Yes lad! Going big. Glad you're enjoying it Tameem!

You absolutely right its not perfect . IT'S SUPER PERFECT.

Hell of a clean up. good job
Cheers Jeffrey!

Great vids, keep up the good work
Thanks for the advice Dennis! And thank you :)
I guess even passengers of this car would need to be washed, rust removed, sanded, prime, base and clear coated!
...btw AWESOME work! :)
Great, you are perfect restorer. 😊
Plug cap & transmission sensors Is a consumable item. We recommend replacement.
On it, thank you!
Looking good man, you always make me realize half of the stuff I avoided is easier than expected.
Cheers Bobby! Just a bit of time thats all some things need :)
Glad that you are doing this great work in Spain.
¡Saludos!
Thank you! a bit hot... but it will pass.
Thanks for share to us, i enjoy every detail

Thanks Charlie! I'll give it another go.
If you get stuck with anymore and have Facebook join e30 zone, it’s a world wide e30 facebook page and you can ask people any questions. Good luck🤘
I would still recommend you to change the gearbox oil before you install the gearbox
Oh yes I will be doing that. Thanks for the reminder, I need to find out what it takes. Never simple.
@@RestoreIt If I recall correctly BMW uses ATF on their Getrag gearboxes, not sure why.
@@RestoreIt I would recommend you to directly request a suitable oil from BMW.
You just have to give them the chassis number and they will find the right oil for your gearbox.
@@RestoreIt i recommend some lube
As if he wont be.......pfft.
How I love this restorations :3
Can't say it enough mate, I love the videos, makes me want to invest in a project car!
Thank you Rob! Do it mate, well worth the time and effort.
@@RestoreIt Sure looks like it, Just need to get the other half on board! (a nice workshop in sunny Spain helps as well haha)
Man, you is very genious- fron Brazil
EXCELLENT WORK AS ALWAYS MR RESTORE .....
Thank you as always Kunie!
So close! So close! So excited for you! This has been one heck of a job! I think we're looking forward to celebrating with you! I hope you plan to do a CZcams on the first ride so we can go along. Take care, my friend. Talk to you soon.
Almost there! I can't wait either Gary, and of course I will. I will go full vlog style for the occasion! Speaks soon Gary!
some people forget that new parts are sometimes damaged faster than the old ones.
It's going to look so nice when it's finished 👍
Cheers Jay Jay I can't wait.
Such a good balance with speeds. Good edit bro! (I’d enjoy it closer to real time as well)
Cheers Serkan. I have a third channel called East Coast Restoratons you are going to love. A lot of real time footage on those videos. Coming soon!
Great job
Cheers Edin :)
What a lovely job
Thanks Riyazatron!
Nice and tidy like it keep it on
When I see your videos, I don't need that kind of medicine :D
Looking good!
Cheers dude.
Dude it looks great, it's too hot in Spain for me bro but I'm glad you dig it.
1:00 - LOL, yeah it is another pace of life down there. We could learn something from that uphere in Northern Europe. Great job btw. 😊
It truly is. Maybe they could learn something from each other, Take abit from both haha.
@@RestoreIt Haha yeah, it might be a bit overkill to have a four hour siesta uphere, although it would be nice sometimes. :)
@@Bannimann2 4 horas de siesta dice el nota. Ni puta idea tienes
Красавец! Отличная работа! Приятно смотреть!
Just found this. I am definitely going to bing watch all past e30 episodes
very good job men !!
Thank you Flash!
Damn you came so long i cant believe this thing is almost done. These videos are amazing
It's all I've done for the last month or so! haha I can't wait to get it all back together. Thanks Dude.
@@RestoreIt totally i cant wait either that car is gonna look and be amazing
Next full engine build, you should spray each component a different bright colour, emphasise the level of detail you've gone to! Pink, yellow, purple, blue, orange, red would be sick!
That would be very cool! I must do this at some point.
That is a seriously lovely finish on the gearbox. You almost need a special window in the transmission tunnel just to look at it.
Greetings from El Salvador, these videos are very addictive
Hi Ivan, thanks for watching, I'm glad I have you addicted :D
Nice video
Congratulations
Howdy from the United states of America, love the channel 🇺🇸🤙
Nice video dude, im your fans from indonesia🇮🇩
Thanks Bil Boy! Glad you're enjoying the series :)
I think your training to become a jedi! much patience you have.
I dream of that day... when il be old in a chair. And he will upload video. "Its finaly done, masterpice!" :D gr8 Video
Hopefully you'll still be alive as will I by that time. We'll get there!
@@RestoreIt It's gonna look perfect by the millimetre!
@Restore It He will definately fininsh it in time with the current amount of effort. Great work!
One thing you absolutely should do is change the gearbox oil, because going threw everything, painting everything and not changing the gearbox oil would be insanely stupid
He is not stupid
It's going to be done don't worry, dont worry :)
Who said he was going to throw everything?, going through everything only to throw it away is stupid.
@@MegaDirtyberty grammar nazi, I am croatian
@@ZVONIMIR172 What has that got to do with the price of fish? ie nothing. Where are your videos so we can criticize you and tell you to do something?.
Great so great all the best
Thank you Peejay!
watching your videos cures my ED...
Haha glad I can help.
Good job. Saya tak sabar untuk lihat hasil nya...
I am looking forward to seeing this car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah another video 👍👌 get in...
make sure you replace the gear selector and output shaft seal as they tend to leak these now so would be silly not to do it.
And its a pain in these ass to do it when the gearbox is in the car. Absolutely not speaking out of experience with my E34 xD
Thanks for the advice Luke, I will get this done.
Great video series mate, I am really enjoying watching them. I was thinking during the previous videos about how nice it would be if you plated some of the hardware that could not be painted so it is good to see you are getting a plating kit.
Thanks Stephen! I have a kit already, I have just abused it learning how to plate with it. Can't wait for the fresh one!
More videos, please! I am curious for the next one!
