I must admit, I haven't watched your videos in a while, but that's entirely because I'm petrified of what I'll be getting myself into when I eventually move my E30 inside to do similarly extensive rust repair. When that time comes though, this series is going to be priceless for me, so expect a thank you comment on every video lol.

I think anyone who has taken on a large project can empathise with the various setbacks, incomplete knowledge, inexperience, etc. Repairing the repairs, head-slapping moments of of realising you should have caught that oversight, but through it all, you keep pushing ahead. I love this series because you’re up front with the struggles. In the end, I think it will be beautiful, and I look forward to seeing it all come together.

I'm sure if a video goes for upwards of an hour, especially for this channel, I don't think many people would complain. It's always a good to watch the work even if the video is long. The longer the better, in this case.

Always nice to see a Restore It video pop up. You're doing really well. It shows that you can do a good job without a bead roller and shrinker/stretcher. I have done a lot of very similar work, and to be honest, it is quicker to make complex shapes by welding a few pieces together than spending hours making hammer forms and messing about trying to get it out of one piece.

When doing such short welds like spots. It can help to hold the weld for a full second, youll get better welds that sit more flush with the metal and require less welding. The video seems to show the tack for a split second, try holding for double that time. Additionally, making sure your welding cable is as straight as possible, this makes the spot welding more consistent and predictable. When your learning its best to remove as many variables as possible to make it easier on yourself. Great work thus far!

I think he should get one, because for some such simple piece 20:30 should be done as one with few cuts for bending and then being tacked and smoothed out, and not with 100 welds at bend i might sound mean but that's just giving yourself more work

Whilst the application of seam sealer on 24 hour old epoxy was fine in terms of adhesion, if leaving more than a couple of days max (look at the epoxy spec sheet) you will need to scuff up the epoxy areas with a scotch brite pad before applying spray underseal, otherwise it will peel off in sheets. Love watching the progress.

Great video , the repairs you did could have used folded repair patches , so you didn’t have to weld an edge all the way down , it is difficult especially if not straight but makes for more of an authentic repair , it does take a lot of skill , time , and waisted pieces but is very satisfying when you get it bang on
@barthanes1

So you take out the rust and put the metal back exactly like it was before so it can rust out again in exactly the same way. You plug weld it to simulate the spot welding done at the factory, but the discontinuous weld lets the salt between the panels. The only reason the factory spot welds the panels together is because it's the cheapest way to do it. If you made a continuous weld or removed the panel overlap, it would be much less likely to rust out again. If you had removed the panel overlap on the front left engine covering plate you could have made the patch in two pieces, maybe saved yourself some welding, and greatly reduced the chance of rust in the future. But it wouldn't look exactly like factory.

Don't get me wrong, you did a great job putting it back exactly like factory. But BMW payed a whole army of engineers for years to design in those failure points which you perfectly recreated.

What you're forgetting is that back in the 80s, the products they used for rust protection were of totally different quality compared to today. They didn't use weld-through primer in between panels, Epoxy primers have come a LONG way, and so has seam sealer and cavity wax. On top of that, when this car was new, it was just a regular car, it was driven year-round in all weather and still lasted 30+ years. There's only very few people that would do that with a completely restored rust-free E30 nowadays, it's very likely it'll be someone's "nice weather car", so it will likely only see very little salt again. So even though he did create rusttraps like the factory did, his work will outlast the rest of the car very easily, and it should easily hit 30+ years again. By that time, traffic might be very different from what it is now, sadly. I don't think he should worry about what happens beyond that time, and if he does want it to last beyond that, simply getting the shell dipped and galvanized will do the trick...

I really appreciate your meticulousness and I always follow your videos with great interest, but if I may give you some advice, you absolutely must get a sheet metal bender and a shrinker/stretcher machine. You should not continue to create edges with two flat sheets to weld and grind, it is an extremely long job and presents obvious critical issues. My two cents

Hi steve,did you try to weld it With little bit higher settings,those welds looks little bit cold,and you have a lot to grind ,with hotter weld,you have a nice puddle ,and less pinholes to cover later,and it is easyer to grind away,and maybe you dont need to weld it from both sides...

If your weld doesn't have to be structually strong, as on the cover plate, it's better to weld vertically downward. You can weld faster thus reducing the temperature of the weld.

Hello, I think you are running the welder on low amps. It still seems like welds are too high. I started my welding process almost the same time as you, so I'm still a newbie, but I think when a welder is run on higher amps, less heat is put into the material (less time the trigger is pulled), and the penetration is better, but of course, you can't run it that high you would burn it through.

So this might be a dumb question: If you spray the bare metal with an aerosol, what is the point of adding two part epoxy, as the paint from the aerosol is the adhesion film all the other paint will be dependent on and will be the weakest point in the bonding? Thanks.

@@Cleveland.Ironman No acid, expoxy achieves its adhesion through a molecular bond to the metal surface, this is why your metal surface has to be super clean.
