Removing Underseal and Treating Rust is the worst thing I have ever done - E36 M3 Touring Project

We join Matt back in the workshop and follow his descent in to madness as he strips off underseal and treats any rust he finds. If you enjoy watching someone suffer you're going to love this!

Bro you got this I love watching this don’t stop dude , trust me it’s a reall good watch and you will feel such accomplishment when you done bro

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks for the kind words ❤️‍🔥

[@MiniBrothas]

Progess is looking really good. Looking forward to seeing more of this progress!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thank you 🙌🏻🥰

[@DavidWilliams-ig9gs]

Great video, I know what you've been going through, I'm doing exactly the same on my E34 M5,

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks, best of luck with your project!

[@saadatm]

Progress over perfection! Well done mate.

[@Andrew4181975]

I want to see this car done. For sure , keep that British Racing Green color it is awesome. The only parts I would have stripped back were the important structural ones or any that looked like possible rust. Just reapply the same stuff afterwards because it works well enough.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

You and me both Andrew! It’s 100% staying BRG, it’s half the reason I bought this car as a donor shell.

[@ScottPC]

I know your exact feeling when there’s so much! Just get a pen and paper, make a plan in steps, follow the plan!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Slowly ticking jobs off the list 🙌🏻

[@troyw8338]

Worked for 2 weeks just removing the rubberized under coating on a 69 Plymouth Cuda.😬 Went through a box of dust masks and 3 pair coveralls. Absolutely told myself I would never do it again, ill pay someone else to do it. 🤫😊

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Likewise there’s no chance I’m doing this again, if I ever get to this stage I best be rich enough to pay someone else to do it 😂

[@troyw8338]

@@EvolveAutomotive a lot of people don't know this but the 60s and 70s Cuda were unibody and the front and rear sub frames were part of the body. After removing the undercoating I realized most of the seem sealer came off to. I had to reapply sealer to all the seems before I painted the under side as Chrysler said the sealer alone gave the car 35% more strength and rigidity. Not sure but I'll bet the new unibodys like your wagon get some strength from the new seem sealers also.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

In fairness on this I haven’t removed too much seam sealer. Very surprising to hear they accredited that much rigidity to it though!

[@troyw8338]

@@EvolveAutomotive yes it shocked me to, until I removed the rusted trunk floor and installed the new one. The rear frame is spot welded in a few strategic areas to the trunk floor and the sealer covers the entire seem area above and below tying the whole rear structure together with the braces going up to the roof. Some of the old seam glue was over half inch thick in the bracing areas. It was a mostly fun rewarding project in the end. 😊

[@SirCheche360]

Hello ! Is this project still going on ? Can't wait to see it back on the road !! 🟣🟣🟣 Bon courage, from France 😉

[@BryceBrown1]

Good stuff, Matt! I think a lot of people can relate to this! 🙂👊

[@seanohagan6653]

Great to see a new video on this Keep them coming And at the end you will be so glad you done this extra work!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks Sean 🙌🏻

[@iainjmcclure]

Im doing a lwb sprinter atm... covered in thick underseal 😢 5 days in and only done rear to rear wheels. Doing it outside in the beutiful irish weath3r

[@michaelpalmer9174]

More patients than me mate, nice work. The hard work will pay off later down the line

[@EvolveAutomotive]

That’s what I kept telling myself as I spent weekends staring at underseal slowly coming off 🤞🏻

[@laurencefalconer5242]

Good and informative work guys👍

[@TheNorthernmunky]

That’s a great job mate!!

[@SM_TheTraveller]

Thanks very informative video

[@dereklitalien5656]

Doing the same on my 318ti except on Jack stands. I envy the lift my man

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Great little car the 318ti, best of luck with it!

[@robertfontaine3650]

Cleaning up the seam sealer is a pain in the but. Dry ice seems to work.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Large depression session. It’s well worth doing right though

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I only wanted to do it once, but yeah it definitely pushed me to my limit 😅

[@thedownshiftchannel]

@@EvolveAutomotive that’s the worst bit done now though

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I really do hope that is the worst bit 😂

[@-1dg4f-3]

the whole thing just seems like a whole depression session feels like he been can’t even say building this car, but it’s beeen a long overall process even upto now nothing beeen built on it just stripped then put back outside for another 6 months 🤣🤣🤣

[@thedownshiftchannel]

@@-1dg4f-3 that’s the issue with going in too far it’s a never ending process and extremely time consuming and labour intensive

[@911marcus]

what a work ;-)

[@Jeremias261]

Ooooooh wow!!! Yess now!!! You're a super sayan colleague,fucking super work!! Have a good-looking this under Bmw,proximate to a the best work! But its the ultimate video?? Where is the final project? Don't can wait oh my god!! Seriously,congrats for this marvellous work. Bmw ///M-Power 4ever®

[@thecarcornerltd5605]

I’ve got a e36 m3, both rear axel points are rusted to f***. Any recommendations on how to fix, are there after market ones available?

[@olivergregory2889]

Brilliant job mate, what under seal did you use

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks! It’s another Dinitrol product - 447. It’s overpaintable and available as an aerosol which was key things for me. I also decided against a more solid bed liner type coating like raptor.

[@adampognon9700]

no more video for this project ? so sad .. its awesome car with rare engine ..

[@EvolveAutomotive]

More coming very soon!

[@MrBlakmax]

Did the mint g82 get ECU tune? we want to see the results.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Video currently in the process of being made.

[@adellisdevelopmen6593]

anyupdates

[@mehranniknafs241]

What happened to this project? Been waiting for the end result

[@EvolveAutomotive]

You and me both 😂 I’ve got another episode filmed but I’ve decided not to release it until I have some more solid progress as it was quite a lot of farting about doing odd bits and pieces with no real end result.

[@kovacspis]

Is this series going to continue?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It is! Matt is doing it in his spare time with his own money so progress can be slow at times, but it’s making small steps. Bits and pieces filmed for an update video at some point.

[@Vass046]

Updates updates updates pleaaaaase

[@hsingh630]

What would it cost to have something like this done to my e36 coupe? Any ideas?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

You’d need to contact a bodyshop or even a specialist restorer, not something we would get involved or even know where to start with cost. Matt is doing this in his spare time.

[@matiudawg007]

Assuming this build is dead in the water now?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Just taken a back seat to life really. I hope to get back to it over the winter

[@johngrant8533]

bro you talk yourself down too much. you can do anything you put your mind to. step back and take it bot at a time. don't overload the brain. I know that's hard as you'll constantly wanna go through the process in your head but you'll get there and learn a lot along the way

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks for the kind words! I’m learning a massive amount doing this project that’s for sure, but yeah sometimes too much time researching is a hinderance.

[@johngrant8533]

@@EvolveAutomotive you're doing an awesome job pal. Gutted that you loose out with ramp time but you just got to deal with what you got. I don't my e46 with the rear jacked up off the floor a few feet in my garage. Took a long while but glad I did it. Proper achievement

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Work with what we have, hugely lucky to be able to use a fully equipped workshop with a lift, downside is yeah has to be packed away each time. Nice bit about doing it in your garage is just leaving it exactly how it is and coming back to it later.

[@johngrant8533]

@@EvolveAutomotive yeah kinda had a date for deadline and kept finding more parts/tools etc to buy to complete the job but got there in the end. Gotta love a bit of personal project. Can't wait to see yours progressing.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It's definitely very satisfying to slowly be ticking off jobs on the list and knowing that I did them. If you have instagram give me a follow, I'd love to see your project! @mattdearphoto
