M3 Subframe Reinforcement Welding - E36 M3 Touring Ep 08

[@theenglishtrucker1849]

TRON! Love it! All holes started as "just surface rust" Surface rust is the time to treat it and fix it.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Exactly, just means a far simpler fix thankfully 🙌🏻

Thank you for doing this project from a perspective of a real home mechanic(- the use of a lift). While Imran's normal content is entertaining to watch I personally can't go out and buy a new M3 to modify it. I also don't have Aston or Hash working for me to do all of the labor. I have dreams of doing a project like yours with an E91 and watching the build you are doing is not only an inspiration but it also shows that not everything is possible with time-laps or editing. Sometimes it doesn't happen over night and not only can it be done on a budget but some mistakes will happen. Thank you again and please continue to keep the dream alive.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks! The usual videos we put out are obviously the professional business side, where this is just my personal project and I am in no way a professional mechanic. Filming and doing the work isn’t always the easiest and it does slow things down but I’m enjoying the project and sharing it with everyone. Having access to the full workshop and help from Aston and Hash is amazing when needed though, especially when it’s something I’m unsure on.

Intro is 🔥🔥🔥

[@billywilliams8833]

Holy Shit that Guy can weld, plenty of people welding like that on a Flat Bench but Upside Down like this is a Next Level of skill. Been welding 30 years and never seen this Standard underneath a Car, Beautiful 💖💖💖

[@sweeney5296]

Very impressive taking on a project like this. Few of us have the fortitude or skills.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thank you Adam, I’m learning as I go 😅

[@caseyscales2087]

Loving the new intro :)

[@johngrant8533]

Looking good. Loving this build, one thing I would say is be careful with the rust left in them rta recesses, if left too long it will work its way down and get under the plates that were just put in.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yeah it’s all going to get sorted soon, shouldn’t spread too quick. I tried my best to seal up all the edges and then I’ll grind it back and rust treat it.

[@johngrant8533]

@@EvolveAutomotive good stuff. Been waiting for an update on this. Keep up the good work. Gonna be an absolute gem when it's finished.

Coming along nicely ! Congrats on 100k!

Thanks for watching!

Having had a 3.0 s50 in my touring you will enjoy it. I didnt go as far as your going with mine but it held up well. now its got a v8 in it and ill probably break stuff now

[@Andrew4181975]

I def think you should keep the touring Green , it almost reminds me of the British Racing Green on the M3 GT. You could even put the adjustable front splitter on it from that car too , and that would make the front mean & green looking.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It is the same colour as the M3 GT, the colour is BMW Individual British Racing Green. Personally not a fan of the GT splitter, especially on a Touring. I have a few ideas but it’s definitely staying BRG.

[@hevendranarayansamy2793]

Shew. That's some f@#king good welding. Well done 👏

[@psycodriver]

Your new intro is sick guys, good job!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thank you 🙌🏻

[@SM_TheTraveller]

Loving it 😍

[@MrIntercoolers]

I likkkeeeee the welder yes!!! Borat voice :)

[@bdautobody]

Nice work! Look into epoxy primers rather than etch ✌️

[@EvolveAutomotive]

That’s what I ordered and the company sent bed liner twice 😩 Will definitely be doing it in Epoxy Primer. The etch is just temporary

[@Jeremias261]

Oh bro I'm a bit deception because I was think that you clean under car with a Laser Cleaner or Dry Ice machine and later soldering plates and paint... you can! Why don't realize this process?? Not bad the work but the magnitude of your project having that be more cleaned de surfaces,but its good its good. No understanding why exist a lot rust under cars,my bmw have 34 years and don't have rust. The white spray do use its anti rust? Thanks for your vids,I learn a lot!!

[@michaelkettleson7317]

Look into a portable shot blaster, for those hard to clean areas. You will have to curtain off the area to stop the workshop filling with excess shot, but you cut out many hours of cleaning and get a better surface for paint. The set up is not expensive or hire the kit.

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Non ferrous is the word you were looking for. Inert refers to a gas that isn’t combustible

[@jonty4664]

Rusty nuts 🔩 👍🏻

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Always 😩 one day there will be only nice fresh nuts.

@@EvolveAutomotive ha ha happy days all ☕️✌🏻✌🏾

[@angledanarius]

This is a awesome example enthusiast. Make something out of nothing!

[@mrstanhope1516]

Was admiring the standard of the welding, seems a shame to cover it up with seam sealer!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Gabe did an amazing job! At least I have this video to remember it by 😅

[@Davewagon]

What happened to this build series ?? Any more to come ?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

There’s more to come! Life got in the way and then motivation dropped but progress is being made. Matt is funding the build himself also so it’s not a quick rush.

[@Davewagon]

@@EvolveAutomotive Good luck to Matt!

[@frontspring1]

Why did you drop the tank if you tig welded. There's no splatter with tig.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I didn’t know what method Gabe was going to be using. The tank needed to come down anyway to clean above it and the tank itself :)

[@Davewagon]

Splatter or no splatter, surely firing up an electric arc next to a fuel tank is an unnecessary risk to take ?? Lot's of money sitting in that business unit

[@chrisg4rr377]

Atleast with the tank out you can make some nice fresh neat brake pipes too

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yep! Wondering if I change for full braided lines, something I’m going to research more.

[@-1dg4f-3]

where’s this project gone? has it gone in the bin 😭

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Not at all. It's my personal project, so I can only work on it in my own time. There's a video filmed that just needs editing before it can go up.

[@goldenspanner1819]

Good video,you should check out CR Mtech motorsport and look at there restorations,mine is the estoril blue tourer soon to have an s50b32 put back in 😀

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I know Paul and the guys at CR M, do some good work and always have parts ✌🏻

[@46lunatic]

Welding without weld through primer? Shits gonna rust man. Shame with those nice welds

[@m3nine11]

I’m sorry but welding plates onto bare metal without weld through primer is a recipe for rust… Your welder should have known better…

[@vesaersta7134]

Also the spots he left unwelded will let moisture get inside the metal. Those should have been welded as well for the additional rigidity of the structure.

[@becomematrix]

Mild steel tig? Nice

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Stainless :)

[@hungrychicken31]

What’s happened to this project??

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Funny you should ask, next video in the series is coming tonight!

[@benilko7430]

Updates?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I have one filmed just need to edit it, struggling to find time to work on it with summer events in full swing.
