Cutting The Whole Bottom Corner Off Auto Alex's Classic BMW E30! Restoration

[@jimjammy1788]

The patience, the crafting, the skill, the tunes, the jokes...my favourite KZbin channel 👌

[@blockbertus]

I really hope Alex appreciates what you do here and also reimburses you adequately. This is an insane amount of work.

[@nickbabyinthailand5548]

the you tube video views prob pays out to cover the work

[@TheMase60]

It sucks that some KZbinrs get everything for free you see all over KZbin for me it's just wrong.

[@jdmfreak22]

@@TheMase60 It goes both ways in fact. This channel gets a lot of exposure thanks to Collin, Matt and Alex. It's an exchange. We'll get the views thanks to you and your channels, you'll get a repaired car in return.

[@blockbertus]

@@jdmfreak22 Oh, the classic "I reimburse you in exposure" payment. Doesn't pay for the bills, though.

[@jdmfreak22]

@@blockbertus Now Shmee brought a car. I can assure that YCR are the ones proposing these deals, and not the KZbinrs taking their cars to them to fix. I have no proof, but I have no doubt. 😂

[@Bauwowwow1]

The amount of skill and craft on display here is insane…. I honestly can’t even comprehend the amount of patience needed to recreate that rear panel

[@itarry4]

Honestly it's kind of mind bending how you manage to piece together parts of a cars body that have obviously needed an expensive machine to stamp them out at the factory. Watching you piece them together like a jigsaw and then weld them so that they look like one seamless piece is brilliant to watch and I'm so glad you took on Colin Furze's BMW so I got directed to your channel and get to see the craftsmanship on display.

[@fufflenarnia3886]

Incredible work

[@PBUCKY1969]

Awesome job Ryan - I salute your attention to detail 👍🙏

[@jesscourt9068]

Outstanding yet again. I hope people realise the depths you go to in fabricating non available sections in order to keep the BringMyWallet E20 alive. Truely inspiring business, and the ultimate in recycling.

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Ryan congratulations on your recovery from the last Roger episode. Just think once Roger is finished Alex has Phil for you to bless.

[@Waterboy76]

Work of art ! Great skills. Love watching, tried doing something similar back when i was 16 years old when my mum gave me my 1st car to work on, her old vauxhall chevette that was heading to the breakers yard, completely full of holes but after many many hours & months in my dads garage with just a vice and basic tools and a limited budget i got her finished and as good as new! And through a MOT. Keep up the good work !

[@craigwood7519]

Something so therapeutic watching you work. Really wish this was an area I could have got into when left school. Ended up in a body shop doing an apprenticeship. Company ended up closing the bishop down and all work going 2 nationwide, and no one else would take me on. Car restoration is messneric

[@davefrench3608]

Great fabrication again Ryan

[@woooGazza]

Fantastic to see a real panel beater craftsman at work. I know E30s are getting rare but surprised that you are not doing this on an old Ferrari, or something which justifies your skill, effort and time.

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

they are doing an old Aston Martin DB, but not on videos.

[@paultaylor9652]

Looks like a car that's lived in the countryside with the amount of mud causing corrosion. Great bit of metalworking again from you, I just hope Alex doesn't wreck this car.

[@TARTACUS]

Just incredible work, mesmerizing just love watching the work and panels coming together. So nice to see a true craftsman.

[@steveworth544]

Fantastic- that bottom section you made was amazing. thank you

[@seanfarrell6009]

Simply wonderful craftsmanship

[@joescully566]

Lovely work again, Ryan. Patience and Pride Prevail!!! But what a great sense of achievement, well done. Joe

[@MykeBinaryMan]

Damn you are putting a lot of effort into Alex's car I really hope he is happy and loves what you have done.

[@louisjones2653]

Old school craftsmanship. Love it

[@Duell-850R]

Impressive craftsmanship !!

[@1954307]

amazing work again ryan you are getting better beyond belief well done looks like you are enjoying your work ...

[@jameslawson8193]

Every episode your skill amazes me even more

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

that battery tray fabrication, mad skills

[@Jiri_Danek]

This bottom section blew my mind. Can't wait another week for the next part of the video .

[@chrisgray4651]

Amazing work, you are a true hero taking on such a rot box!

[@hreha6866]

absolute masterclass!

[@johnslater2488]

After watching the 260Z (?) vid, relatively, this car is rust free!! Inspiring work, here in Oz we rarely see cars in this condition and wouldn’t repair them unless they were rare and expensive. Thanks for sharing this.

[@azharsyarawi]

I’m amazed at how the car can still be driven. Also how you can still cry . Some people would’ve started laughing on their own for no reason by now.

[@anthonybrand6137]

Hey Ryan, that's some very impressive hand fabrication work ! Now I can understand why these restorations can take such a long time. Keep up the great job......... It's a real pleasure to watch. 👍🔥👍🔥

[@therealroga]

So far beyond economical repair it's ridiculous. But i could watch you fabricate that complex part all day. Bloody wizard with metal!

[@SaulidSnake]

Not for E30s these days, they are becoming rarer.

[@GarageItYourself]

That's a lot of panels all coming together in that one area. Great fabrication skills Ryan ;)

[@DavidBeckett-yz7tw]

Ryan well done again I must have missed the episode where you removed the petrol tank!

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video. Slowly but surely you are getting there. So much rust! Keep fighting it Ryan. You are doing a great job on Roger.

[@ektrolleyboy]

Seems so rotten that I wonder if there will always be more hidden bits that won’t be uncovered without stripping it down to a shell… Seems to have dirt stuck in every crevice going.

[@iwanevans607]

Probably a given that there’s rust that won’t ever be spotted and is hidden away under panels and in between panels.

[@bobstacey9311]

Thanks for sharing how 3D stamped panels can be broken down in flat shapes bent and formed to look like oem

[@alman-world]

Damn - thanks for keeping it real

[@mpglass8560]

great its a work of art keep going hope to see it at shed fest

[@MrLawfodder]

is such a great channel equal amounts of information and humour makes it fun watching.

[@andywhitehill8958]

Clever boys. Well done 👍

[@colinritchie1757]

Superb work Ryan , just incredible work as ever

[@naikjoy]

Holy shit. BMW E30 is getting saved!!!! Legendary classic is getting SAVEEEDDDD

[@stanee46]

Yeaa they are saving two of them haha😅

[@davidmckinney6577]

Hello 👋 my good friend Ryan I thank you for your birthday wishes yesterday and for your friendship my dear friend your the best I love how you made those panels you did a extremely extremely good job 👏 👍 the best 👌 but you are captain yorkshire..its so awesome just to hang out with you watching your videos I really appreciate it ❤️

[@georgescarfe4195]

So all good love watching. We see the way you form panels etc but we need a video explaining your welding technique. Wire size, gas flow, settings, why you weld to a cut gap instead of lapping the joint etc. keep up the good work.

[@AntonioToma-q2j]

Excellent work!

[@stevenbartlett1597]

Enjoyed that fabrication no end, fantastic piece of work.....

[@handhwiegman8115]

Bravo. You sub-divided the rear storage floor into 7 panels and didn’t slow down. Well done

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Absolute legend

[@Crushgar]

I was wondering if any of you know the track he uses for the videos. I really enjoyed that the whole way through. And you got some really impressive and good craftmanship on that car! Great job!

[@Crushgar]

So to answer my own question. I found one of the tracks. It's called Lucid - Nomyn

[@mrdainase]

Just brilliant stuff.

[@garyharris8082]

awesome skills

[@neilhardwick1376]

Absolutely brilliant 👏

[@markroberts35]

You have some skills lad

[@black_liquorice]

This is so educational. And skills..

[@ianhighley-zo3es]

Great stuff Ryan, I have learnt a lot from you guys

[@Braveheart7914-idfl]

Just this sec commented on waiting for upload Ryan so chuffed this just popped up to watch 👍🏻😉👏👏

[@b4tm4nrubin33]

You’re such a craftsman.

[@DanRoper-ex2vy]

Hey Ryan nice to see you again doing your amazing fab work we all got worried about u and Steve when the next matt Armstrong video on but hope you and Steve are well ok love respect to u both

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Brilliant as always

[@davidtarrant7159]

Is the Dinitrol RC900 spray better than the Mipa Miparox rust spray? Only just noticed you have changed to it. Many thanks.

[@terrienhumain6723]

Love your work, cheers.

[@rolanddix6676]

Masterpiece!

[@Modshmockers]

Nice job Ryan

[@alecfraser1928]

And all this is despite huge strides in automotive design and rust prevention in the 1980s......

[@jeff1176]

Seeing all these bmers with this much rust reminds me of the mid 80's chevy trucks in the USA.

[@rogerfenton5210]

Remember doing this as a teenager but only had gas welding equipment , did you remember to grind the inside of the fuel tube after welding

[@Ateliervollegaaz]

it's a bit like origami with sheetmetal...good job!

[@karenmurray3098]

bloddy amazing rian

[@tineca407]

Looking really good . Will you be doing videos of that E30 323i saloon ?

[@Maksimov1337]

German cars of the 80s make Minis and MX5s look like an absolute piece of piss to make panels for! Great work as always from you guys!

[@alistairuysal1858]

Great work as usual. Got some cars in there. E9 another e30 and 911 and the mantas back

[@willemjordaan4108]

Wow, people love their BMW'S.. 😊 And they love their other cars as well!! ❤ So do we here in sunny and hot South Africa, where all cars away from the coast basically don't rust!! 😢😂

[@CasualRicer]

Need to ship you my Mk1 Miata from the U.S., ive got some gnarly quarter rust that im deathly afraid of doing 😂. Totally more cost effective to ship across half my country and a full ocean than find a local shop that isnt a hack right?

[@mercedesw126garage]

It is always worse than it looks....Isn't there a better solution for the fuel lines running through the wheel arch to prevent this from happening again?.Great work Ryan

[@jdmfreak22]

You've outdone yourself with that back section. That's just sexy

[@jeffhammond8969]

Looks lovely! Will you be doing the round dimpled portion between the two beads?

[@dereklaw3686]

That's one hell of a jigsaw! 👍

[@paullinnitt5450]

Awesome fabrication as always. One question - why do you drill for spot welds when your dad uses a hole punch?

[@paulhammond3590]

Different years and methods my dad does both on his cars

[@Ozmercyful]

Wow. Fantastic craftsmanship. Well done!😊

[@hedrives]

Alex, that battery tray looking section around the 20:00 mark was off the chain great work. Thank you for sharing it with us. Respect. Cheers.

[@johnturner4400]

7:35 That sinking feeling when you cut through and there is exterior paint on the reverse….

[@tomswindler64]

Very nice,just keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@wibble417]

Out of interest are you using a piece of old railway track as a former? If so that’s pretty cool great work by the way 👌

[@itarry4]

Definitely looks that way, I know many people use them to make small anvils for doing small metal Smithing work etc so it'd make sense.

[@samcourt6228]

Top work again. That car is pretty rotten, but cool that it’s being saved.

[@davidbailey533]

Nice to see a fiat Dino coupe above the mazda project

[@merfan88]

You Can use it as a Bob-sleigh Down the slopes. 😂👍

[@desmondharney1185]

Are there no patch panels available ?

[@SR-kv1ic]

After the last video, I thought it was gonna get scrapped. Glad it isn’t.

[@davehussey6021]

Hi what make is the bead roller thanks 👍

[@LeKyKu]

Ryan, you're clearly addicted- sniffing rust dust... 😅

[@Finne72]

AutoAlex, Carthrottel and you should find a way together. CT is dying due to bad management.

[@matslindahl8108]

Where haw you the fire extinguisher. And why you not using cutting protection on cutting machines? Wery naise work on this wery bad cars ++++ MR Mats from sweden o

[@leofabbro456]

She will be a nice PMW (Patchwork Motor Wercke).

[@pauldoyle9638]

Marcus, love the car video's, but the on track? Wish I didn't have to work and play with my cars. Not a diss, but. Xx

[@lennym1636]

That last section you made is not just like the original, no rust lol...

[@tcpnetworks]

You just don't realise what a horrid little rot-box this BMW is... It's def in the right hands...

[@poelmeister]

Every now and then when I watch videos on this car, I wonder if AA found this car on the bottom of a lake of acid.

[@naikjoy]

btw, how the sander at 5:00 called?

[@John_Flanery]

who knew Jorginho could do fabrication...

[@jedi-mic]

you going back to the Datsun. Using a welding process for rusty vehicle not the right approach you better off brazing it with bronze rods it gives you a cleaner finishes and no grinding needed

[@criscross572]

Frist class fabrication, have you ever tried making stencils out of masking tape, not that you seem to need to.
