You and Lewis make a great double act. Keep the vids coming. Love seeing what you’re doing.

[@Joshwaa___]

I have to boss him around off camera !!! haha

[@berwhaletheavenger]

I know of a couple of good M20 2.5 885 cylinder heads. That pump in the blue 525i bought the Titanic a lot of time and shifted a lot of sea water. I approve of the level of swearing as well - one finds it fully encapsulates the dramas of rescuing an E34 that's been bodged from arsehole to breakfast time. 11/10 WUD WATCH AGAIN The rear arm links are called pitman arms, dog bones. BMW part no 1125665.

[@Joshwaa___]

hahaha thankyou!!! The m20 head, is it yours?we may need!!

[@berwhaletheavenger]

@@Joshwaa___ They belong to a mate - they've been off the car for years. M20 heads normally crack under the cam so that coolant escapes under pressure through the coolant gallery underneath into the engine oil creating the shitty mayo mess. I've never seen one with coolant coming past the spark plug threads though. 😮

[@Joshwaa___]

we heard it’s common, so we assumed, Maybe we need to actually test it abit more than just assuming lol

[@iankelleher5072]

Love the touring, cant wait to see it cleaned up and polished. The 535 needs some love its fantastic.

[@Joshwaa___]

You and me both! 535 will be lovely!

[@Irishpete78]

Love to see old bmw content. Would do rear subframe bushings in all of the e34's even if it looks like they don't need it, cause they'll all be rooted.

[@Joshwaa___]

the touring actually came with powerflex bushes inside as it failed its last mot on them!

[@drewlatimer2361]

Try the little black box on the air box too my E28 m10 engine used to need a tap here n there as the spring underneath sometime stuck ..... there's like a potentiometer underneath which sometimes slips off the end

[@Joshwaa___]

we did that! seems to be sweet now

[@dan44zzt231]

Damn. It's almost like cars that end up in scrapyards are in there for a reason 😂

[@Joshwaa___]

it’s our gold ❤️

[@CL4RK1Eakog]

That e34 touring is sick. Definitely worth putting the work in! Love the videos, man! From a fellow welder 👨‍🏭

[@Joshwaa___]

thankyou!!!!

Well done girls! 👍

😎😂

[@teamphashash]

Watched the collection video and I'm hooked. New sub from S.Africa.

[@Joshwaa___]

Welcome aboard!

[@spudmun2034]

Those little links on the suspension are called pitman arms or a rear 'dogbone'

[@Joshwaa___]

thankyou!!

[@mattm7128]

Use realoem for finding part numbers. Stick your vin number in and will give exploded diagrams of everything and cross reference to any other models that use the same. Life saver for a bmw mechanic

[@Joshwaa___]

i love that website! i need to use it alot for me e24!

[@milesbethell8889]

Great videos Josh, keep up the good work bringing all projects back to life 👍👍

Good Evening Josh. Thank you for sharing your Excellent video. These BMW's will be a must watch with each vehicle. each vehicle does have it's own Character and Personality. It is such a really Good German engineering and Quality. Very Good Engines and these Beautiful vehicles were built to last.

This will be a really Great Journey for who ever wants to watch your Professional and Top Quality video's. Well Done Josh.. 😃😃😃🤓🤓🤓🤓💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Buy a used E34 loom and just swap out the immobiliser.

[@franciscoflores-nunez6767]

Damn you got me wanting another e34 ❤

[@sakariaro530]

Why not put the 535 running gear and interior to the 525i? No money needed, the 535i is scrap in every other way

[@Joshwaa___]

my poor 535!!!

[@marcduthie4327]

Gteat video. Cool set of cars. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Joshwaa___]

Thanks again Marc!

[@DarenWood-bs7xf]

Look forward to more BMW videos mate great channel

[@Joshwaa___]

Thankyou! plenty of bmws here!

[@mattm7128]

Believe those are metric wheels on the first e34. Fucking nightmare getting tires. Ran them for a bit on a e30

[@Joshwaa___]

proper shit ain’t they! we have style 5’s in 15’s with the car !

[@mattm7128]

@@Joshwaa___ gorgeous looking wheel tho. I was going to try and get them converted to 2 piece but no where in Ireland does that and would have been a fortune to send it to the uk

[@markeyre6916]

great to see beemer videos

[@JeremyDuggan-c2r]

Great video

[@Joshwaa___]

Thanks!

[@davidbrown1592]

New raffle car?

[@MarianVC57]

These premiers kill me with anxiety 😫 🙃 it's worst with the sad title... hope that is fixable.

[@Joshwaa___]

sorry 🤣🤣

There Trailing arm supports

thankyou

[@mikew1084]

Can you guys please stop swinging it’s is what it’s is you don’t need to make it worse

[@Joshwaa___]

what?

[@scotttait2197]

If you spent less time swearing and more time doing then be a lot easier and get done quicker

[@TheOldskool97]

Blame the beer (sorry)

[@andypower31]

Found you on Instagram. Followed

[@Joshwaa___]

thanks!

[@b3nj3y]

The touring has got to be my favourite 😍 also loved the aggression shown to that immobiliser hahaha

[@Joshwaa___]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrRockinRein]

Cngratz on the 20k man! And thanks for all the entertainment!

[@Joshwaa___]

You’re so welcome!!! thankyou

[@Chilled_Mackers]

Superb to see the E34's again. Bit of TLC and they'll all be dependable workhorses.

[@Joshwaa___]

Nothing we can’t sort!

[@GMcDon100]

Came over from watching your work on Taylor's E28. Loving learning what's involved in bringing these cars back and looking forward to any future vids like this!

[@Joshwaa___]

More to come! thanks for sticking around!

[@Mercmad]

Part of my daily activities involves getting Old Mercs recommissioned .I have a distinct hatred for after market alarms, DIY remote central locking , old phone connections and ethanol fuels which really do melt fuel lines.

[@mosmarb]

I love the look of the E34s, the Touring especially, though the rot underneath definitely gives me pause for thought! Used to live near a 520i in Mineral Blue, which I thought was a fantastic-looking car but I was committed to the 3 Series from E30 to E46. Have a G30 now but would definitely like to revisit some of the 5s I missed, with the E28 and E34 being top of the list.

[@h12st_d63]

Look at all this twist and tape rubbish... Also Lewis 😂

[@Joshwaa___]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheOldskool97]

Dw I’m repairing that properly, just stuck it together to make it work for now 😂

[@edpatterson4325]

Everything in the eighties was shit! Music, clothes and cars and that's coming from a 56 year old who lived through it. Don't believe the hype!

[@nickwillobey2205]

Too much 'Effing'....not really necessary 😕😕, only need to know about the BMW's.

[@Irishpete78]

The suspension bits are casually referred to as dogbones

[@berniesutton7277]

5 Minutes in and we are already in "Oh My God" overload

[@geofftaylor5989]

Check out m539, great old bmw content

[@YouCheekyRascal]

They are known as 'Dogbones'

[@adrianflower3230]

Great bunch of projects. Looking forward seeing them claw their way back onto the road where they belong! 🛣

[@Joshwaa___]

You and me both!

[@stevensmith5226]

All scrappers..only ok for parts

[@Joshwaa___]

😭😭😭

[@deansmith6924]

Nice work gentleman, you definitely scored with these. That e36 is mint and the others are not bad at all.

[@Joshwaa___]

E36 is so good right!

[@cemoto15]

Great video, shame about the 525 but sure you’ll fix it . All the best 😊

[@Joshwaa___]

Thanks 👍

[@swebb302]

Looks better than the 535 my dad parked on its nose 😂

[@Joshwaa___]

oh wow hahaha

[@alanlansdell7533]

Dog bones.

[@Duell-850R]

I would love to see the E34 wagon again. That car is sweeet

[@Joshwaa___]

It’s coming!!

[@NeilFleming-r9r]

Pitman arms for the links on the rear suspension.

[@Joshwaa___]

thankyou!

[@markwalton8644]

E36 is mint, they really need a Supercharger though. The Estate needs a better engine. 1.8's in one of these are way to slow but does look slow.

[@FanaticQuattro]

Lewis is lucky to have you as a boss!! Well done on the 20k subs or 20.4k now!

[@Chris-xc3xz]

They are mates, he’s not his boss lol

[@Joshwaa___]

Thankyou! i love to boss him around but im not his boss haha

[@TheOldskool97]

He couldn’t afford me

[@rhydtuned]

Great format Josh, love the BM content and congrats on 20k+ well deserved! 😎

[@Joshwaa___]

Thanks a ton! i’ll keep it up!!

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Nice vid Josh. Over here in ireland theyd be looking for a fortune for totally rotten worn out cars. You've probably scrapped better!! I will be following along for sure!

[@Joshwaa___]

Everything is worth good money to you boys in ireland🤣 you love it!!

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

@@Joshwaa___ I dunno about that Josh. Some of them need a total rebuild after spinning around a cone for nights on end. The road tax over here is another stumbling block on the older stuff. €1800 for a years rent on a 3 litre! Once it hits 30 years old tho its only €56 for the year regardless. I'll stick with me CLK for now I think. I love that car man!

[@OwainPreece-ie6bb]

M20's are common for that.

[@petergrinnell2500]

Wat a nightmare at both ends of the I've never seen crap like that before in a petrol tank and I felt sorry josh with that wireing shame about the head gasket as it sounds nice but could be a crack in the head never seen water come out of plugs before I will still weld up the touring it had a good spark 😂🤣 and it runs and drives well the 36 is in amazing underneath you landed up with the good one depending on what you paid for all of them you will make your money back and make a profit 👍

[@Joshwaa___]

we will defo make a profit i recon! the e36 alone is fantastic!!

[@laurivirtaniemi]

Did you wash the enginebay? Maybe sparkplug holes are just filled with water.. blow them dry and everything will be fine with the mighty m20.

[@Joshwaa___]

we didn’t wash the engine itself! it was still super pressurised instantly too!

[@htahana3461]

Still would like the 525i fixed up this car is a gem.Great video from gold coast Australia 🇦🇺

[@Joshwaa___]

Aus viewer! thankyou!

[@markwhitcombe8670]

I had one I had the 520 I se

[@besenzon1]

Great video Josh. You should Dry ice the E36. It would look amazing 😳. What machine !!

[@Joshwaa___]

it’s a shame it’s got a couple ding and scratches on the body, because it would be the perfect candidate!!
