BMW E30 M20B25 Engine Rebuild Restoration - Time-Lapse | Part 3

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

The attention to detail on this E30 is crazy.

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, dude! It's why they take so long to come out but I'm working on speeding things up.

[@nathananderson7319]

Restore It O-O not so fast mate please think of what you are doing if I were to be like you in your place I would let the awesome guys do their things that way people are happu

[@GrimesGarage]

@@RestoreIt man, take your time. we'll happily follow along. i may build a channel for the resto of my 325. i aspire to this level of detail

[@Camilo19832001]

Oh man cant wait to see the car fully restored!! Amazing work!! Glad I stumbled on this channel years ago!

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, MaKos!

[@Zouguuh]

Actually, maKos means I'm a pussy/vagina. In Persian. Soooo... let me get in than haha

[@lukeweyant6771]

This is such a sick rebuild. It's sad they don't make cars like the iconic E30 anymore. I also nearly was drooling when I saw the finished valve/rocker cover. Outstanding.

[@dan_mills__791]

This is such a cool project! I've not seen anything like this restoration on KZbin before. So. Much. Detail. I love it.

[@CosmicMindSense]

With your valve cover restaured like that , i'm shure you'll gain at least 20 HP min ! 😉 Great job !

[@RestoreIt]

Oh, it's an easy 35hp gain... Haha thanks, Frank!

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

You should ask the paint manufacturer if they want to be a sponsor. 😀

[@bobahaha]

And a supplier for sandpaper

[@125sm3]

That rocker cover result is amazing . Thanks for showing us the products you use .

[@oska592]

Wow! I can't help but nod yes during each process. Great job.

[@thomascanning595]

I think block sanding the top would have made it easier

[@Gooberjack]

I know this is a real engine and therefore FAR more intricate than any game, but I have fallen in love with Car Mechanic Simulator 2018. It's given me an appreciation for the basics (I can now identify most parts of a car engine/brakes/suspension by sight), and insight into how difficult the job you're doing here really is. That straight 6 is going to be gorgeous once rebuilt.

[@Junkotherstuff]

That's a SEAT Ibiza from the good old days!

[@RestoreIt]

1989! same and the touring :)

[@BjoernDaniels]

of course fully restored :)

Excellent work. You have all my admiration. Clear from the labels that you use, you never will surrender to any difficult part!

[@gokhanta]

Greetings from Turkey, for a long time I'm in pursuit of perfect craftsmanship, waiting for the finished version of the tool.

[@k1attak1]

great performance greetings from Turkey

[@MrJaremko]

Man, i don't know if it's asking too much but i would love to see a asmr out of a video like this. Great work, keep it up

[@paulbaird1351]

This is fantastic! Just a tip on masking parts with small holes, use expanding foam ear plugs, then just snip off the end, it'll save you a ton of time.

[@jamietaylor9579]

Wish this was like Netflix and I could get all episodes up front

[@thecaptain5026]

That cover looks stunning. Props for keeping the level of perfection up with so much still to do.

[@joshuamitch22]

This thing is going to be the cleanest e30 ever, it’s going to be better then factory.

[@andrewlister9472]

When you see the time and effort spent getting that rocker cover to look like that you know this is gonna end up amazing

[@homeyshlitz]

Sweet rocker cover man.

[@ijunejo]

The amount of work you put together just for few seconds of shot 👌

[@Tiagotaf]

My OCD satisfaction level has reached the top on this channel. You sir, you're an artist!

[@markopejcic3270]

Very good restoration

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, Peja!

[@Cowboymanfromdownunder]

Your channel rocks! Can't wait for episode 4!!

[@MrRowan-fl7xz]

These video's are so in handy, way better than a instruction manual. Im also restoring a m20b25 but im stroking it to a 2.8. These vids help me so fkng much! Thanx from the Netherlands

[@plunder1956]

That cover is like a jewel. It should be on the outside of the car LOL. Just an idea. Consider some simple portable folding tables for parts layout as you do this kind of work often. It will help save your back (you only get one). I'm also a big fan of large and small magnetic trays; as you're breaking a component down It saves searching the floor (or the engine bay for 3 small bolts that just vanished under the engine. A really useful item is a few gravel trays from a garden centre (they are cheep and have a lip so they keep oil and other fluids from spreading).

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, Plunder, great advice. I'll be buying some of both!

[@munro12345]

Patience and skills off the chart - fantastic series!

[@BryanAcosta4200]

Great job on the valve cover resto 💯

[@motheolebelo]

Outstanding job on restoring that Valve cover, wow Love it

Your a legend for these videos cant wait to restore the old girl too

[@RestoreIt]

Glad to be of service Mitch!

[@ghassanalfarra8935]

Work of art and outstanding results! @07:35 btw, you accidentally dropped your wire brush in to the parts washer tub 🧐

[@JuampixDDD]

love how you waxed the metal then threw degreaser at it lol

[@deafcommplays7676]

Your best paint job to date! Keep up the awesome work.

[@leighharron]

Wonderful stuff as always and thanks for that sponsor link too. That little Ibiza is a rare machine in RHD these days, yours looks saved from the dreaded rust!

[@2003garyb]

Steve! The way you methodically do your work makes what seems like a nightmare seem doable. You have a brave soul--wearing a white t-shirt to degrease with splatters. That's a nice sexy paint job. I can't wait to see videos of your taking the E30 to its first car show. We'll all be so happy and proud for you. Take care, my friend.

[@RestoreIt]

Gary! Why is life so hectic I can't remember my left from right! I'll send you a message right now! The white tee was a very bad idea by the way! haha. Thanks as always Gary, take care. Speak in 10 mins!

[@ВладимирДмитриев-ю7ш]

Thanks for video from Russia) amazing job!

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, dude!

[@kdoran709]

The time you took to layout all the hardware... you’re a mad man!!

[@AliIShaki]

Great job. I liked the matte paint before adding lacquer layer, but that's just me. Amazing video as always.

[@riyazpardeshi5957]

Your videos help me relax. So nice seeing the attention to detail. Plus it's so different from all the other car stuff going on. keep up the great videos

[@oznik46]

Great job! Happy to see you are getting better and better as time goes by, no doubt you are one diligent guy!

[@DavidScheiber]

props for having a sponsor relevant to the video

[@tasosarpoudis1604]

I don't really know u but I surely know that u are a perfectionist.i suggest u clean the outside of the gearbox if this is not part of your plans. Keep the good work!!!

[@JakeBiddlecome]

This rebuild is going to be so satisfying to watch. I watched the first ep and thought the next one would be a clickspring amount of time away. Then suddenly two episode showed up! This is why we subscribe gentleman.

[@anthonyGbachiller]

Hey man, can you do a video on how you itemize and sort out your hardware so you dont loose track of parts or forget whilst in rebuild phase? That would be awesome. Cant wait to see the finish. I watched all your vids!

[@Hnahumcm]

Excellent work! Greetings from Mexico. I can't wait for the part 4!

[@mousey1868]

I can't belive you can find the time for this. It took me around 2 months, just to restore the valve cover om my nugget pug 206 gti 😂 Kudos from Denmark :D

Maaan! This kind of work you do is the way that everyone should restore cars, the propper way. I admire yor work and i really think that you should be sponsored by bmw. Great job and i'm waiting for the next video. Congrats!!!

Big thank you, Andrei! I would die of joy if BMW sponsored me haha... maybe one day. I'm going to push myself to make sure the next episode is out next Thursday. Thanks, man.

[@seanfisher3624]

Man I want to drive my Suzuki Samurai out there and restore it and cars with you! Every car deserves to be restored.

[@itbclio2754]

Loving the videos mate! Quick tip: You can get a type of paint called direct gloss or aka 2k, which is basically base and clear in 1, you could potentially use that on the other parts to save yourself some time

[@viucky]

That is an exquisite paint job. I always love that part of the video. Maybe you should take a public vote for choice of paint color.

[@MrSneppe]

Wow dude looking forward to the rest that valve cover is clean AF

[@ozzyfreeman2619]

Great job mate. Awesome result!

[@polloloci21]

This car is going to be outstanding.

[@bogdanradulescu870]

Awesome job.... one little advice, use ethanol with 1% benzotriazole diluted in, and put all the aluminum parts in for a few days _ one week max after cleaning (in a big basin so the parts are submerged). This will get a nice protection of the surface like a cement, without changing the coulour of aluminum. Of course you can paint after if you want but even not painted it will hold nicely. I have used this on a Focke Wolf 190 A8 wheel that was 70 years old. For surfacing sandblasting with glassbeads makes a great deal on aluminum surface.

[@peterkalanyos]

Boy this cover came out very nice. Cant wait to see next ep.

This is better than factory great attention to detail...

[@blocksurfer]

Impressive work on the valve cover. I did the same idea but not nearly as well executed as you. I just used a black spray can and sand paper. Next go around I’ll probably take some lessons for this video.

[@philipejeuceoututkache]

Excellent work. for intake though, I would g crazy and do like Driftworks did for his Lambo Murcielago: removal of intake manifold, and each cylinder having individual throttle bodies. the result is stunning. good luck for the rest, can't wait for part 4.

[@tonydalton6756]

Try drain cleaner (Lye) for cleaning non critical aluminium surfaces. Paint it on with an old brush & rinse off with clean water. You have to be quick & don't breath the fumes. It etches the surface slightly & you can spray direct. If you leave it too long it will eat away the whole thing. :D

Those BMW letters and silver lines remained stained from black paint. Better cleaning was required, before clear coating.
