1976 BMW 2002 Overhaul Episode 3 Rear suspension

In this video the rear suspension gets disassembled. The components get powder coated, plated. New shocks, brake lines, and bushings get installed during the assembly. Before It goes back in a little rust work on the rear strut tower is needed!

Hi David: I'm in the middle of my '02 restoration and doing many of the same things you did. I really appreciate you documenting all this and sharing. It makes a difference in my project!

[@davidsgarage]

Thanks man!

[@BuccaneerOverland]

So glad to see you keeping this iconic car on the road! Nice work

[@davidsgarage]

Thank you!

This "old lady" really starts to look like a brand new car thanks to your hard work. I love it.😍 The rims might need a little something to match the rear frame condition.

[@CarCustodian]

Again, major thumbs up!!

[@davidsgarage]

Thank you!!

This was exactly what I needed to see! I have a '71 with the same rust issues in the rear strut mount/wheel well, this was very helpful to wrap my head around the process for repairing it. Thanks!

[@gafrers]

Beautiful work

0:50 that's honestly pretty much mint 6:06 really nice welding! Also I'm impressed the arms didn't warp

David, the one thing that scares me with plating all those bolts - how on earth did you remember where they all went when you got them back?

[@doctor_tran]

Looking forward to doing the same on my '02 :-D

[@mohammadbenattia9102]

Great work, cheers

Nice work. The metal inside the trunk of my 1974 looks like your “before” picture. Paint with some lines if rust cracks. I’m afraid to know what’s underneath. I’m sure it’s been fixed once before; a 45 year old car isn’t rust-free.

We’re all those nuts and bolt the originals just cleaned up and coated? Wow.

Hi David, What P/N rear Bilstien's did you use?
