what an engine though, best sounding engine i've ever owned

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It's a beautiful machine! It's mine now though remember? 😅🤣🤣

[@amxen1]

It need a wash though Collin

[@johnturner4400]

Ryan has floored it!

[@next0845]

Engine and gearbox rebuild?

[@youjustreadthis897]

Totally agree. Got pretty much same engine in my 1987 Tech I 325i Sport. Worked on hundreds of different models of car (ex-mechanic), some cars even dating back to 1920's... and the BMW M20 is easily in the top shelf amongst the best sounding engines ever

[@Lord_Yoloraidos]

Ep 4 of second channel tunnel digging done, time to check on the car.

Snip the same coloured wires at different lengths ... so simple I would never have thought of that ... that some weird mechanics' genius ! Excellent !

[@ChrisBrown-qf5gh]

What I noticed through your video on Furzes car, is the dedication of your team and the great workshop practice. I've seen you replacing each bolt in the correct hole after removing parts, enduring you can always find them again when needed. You're a great credit to the automotive business

[@guywren4801]

My mind boggles that a couple of lads can possibly put this all back together properly in less than 10 years.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

I (Steve) have been doing this for over 27 years and I have done this to a lot of cars over the years :)

[@guywren4801]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration I wasn't doubting you Steve, just expressing my amazement. Following with respect.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

@@guywren4801 I know hence the ❤️ I put next to your comment :) we do really appreciate your comments and your support :) we do actually ready every comment but usually don't have much time to reply :)

[@cattflap1447]

I used to fit Thatcham Cat1 alarms, part of the standard is that all the wires are black so they can't be identified once fitted.

[@timmymallett1]

The 4 wire snip is a great tip!

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you :)

[@jeno264]

🤯💖

[@Silverhornet81]

I used to work on Volkswagens and would do that so there wasn't a mass of connectors in one spot. It has multiple levels of reasons. The Germans loved making some wires hard to tell the difference so that trick is very handy.

[@_zzpza]

That's a fantastic engine hoist! :)

[@alanduncan3337]

Possibly left over from the previous occupants of the building. They could lift anything with that.

[@boejoss]

I was admiring that too. And had "...the claw" from Toy Story in my head 😂

[@columbo9336]

Could have just used that hoist to lift the whole car up off the engine and trans

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Oh, man yeah!

[@pan7285]

Thats probably the biggest car engine hoist i've ener seen :D

[@david-1775]

I would LOVE to have a garage with a gantry!

[@nathanbeames6582]

Cracking effort lads. The amount of work involved is mind boggling, and the dedication towards executing a thorough restoration admirable.. "Now get some knee pads in those trousers before it's too late!" :)

[@sjv6598]

Now this is going to be a proper restoration! I’ve always loved the e30.

[@---l---]

I appreciate that if thr client checks, 'return all broken parts'. You really return all of it.

[@jeffhammond8969]

I would agree on the rust assessment. Amazing that you and Ryan are able to put out so much excellent content each week. Favorite restoration channel on YT!❤

[@Ben-in6qh]

Very rare to see such a complete e30 in the first place, perfect base for resto 👍👍

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Couldn't agree more!

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Loving these E30 Beemer builds, my favourite model of this car. Dunno how you’re staying this calm with all that work to do 🙈👍🏼👌🏼

[@Silverhornet81]

The view of the old cars around the shop is great. Im going to have to watch the video again to actually see Colins car being taken apart.

[@xanadub6]

The sound on this is perfect❤

[@smashyrashy]

Its annoying

[@john_p]

11:10 when you do a timelapse section, focus the camera then switch it to manual focus so it's not constantly jumping in and out

[@darthvalkyr]

That is one seriously well equipped workshop. Was not expecting to see a 5 ton gantry crane!! Really enjoying this video series. Great work guys!

[@billabong9215]

Good to see the stands are out today guys.

[@hanselgretel8563]

Seeing other project cars in the background, its actually mind boggling on how you can keep up with the work schedule in the entire shop.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

We work at least 12 hrs a day 6 days a week and there are 6 of us in total but only me and Ryan on youtube cars :)

Hello 👋 good buddy Ryan and Steve I'm loving every second of this video buddy. Ol flash 🐕 gives you 2 big paws 🐾 up..

[@richardhunt1384]

Blimey you also weld up ships as well with the size of that gantry crane!!!! 😂😂😂

[@simonfreer7950]

Glad to see the hoist was up to the job 😊

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

That was a great tip on dealing with multiple wires of the same color! I always did it the hard way. Put a piece of different colored tape on each wire and snip it in the middle of the tape wrap. Your idea is much more simple and easy.

[@tomladdus9264]

Quite the engine crane you have there. Could pick up a house with that one.

[@fw1421]

The E-30 M3 I owned back in the 90’s was a wonderful to drive but expensive car to maintain. Every 8000 miles it needed to have the valves done at $800-1000 a service visit. Oh how I miss that car now. Best sports car I’ve ever owned.

[@FloofersFX]

Got here from Colin's channel. I know nothing about cars, never really had an interest in them. Heck, I usually completely zone out of or even avoid any car talks, but I'm compelled to watch these. They're so damn relaxing. Something satisfying about it all coming apart bit by bit too.

[@smtsoftwaresolutions1966]

Having visited this channel through a Colin Furze link a few weeks back. I have to say it wasn't for me, a little to hectic, watched video two and still not my thing. Video 3 and BOOM!! You got me. Great video. looking forward to the body repairs, that's alot of rust!. Now subscribed. Good effort lads.

[@seanfarrell6009]

Nice to see you working together on this one always a joy to see some real teamwork

[@bleachman93]

i know next to nothing about restoring cars but you guys remind me a lot of my dad and i as farriers. just a few guys doing their trade, nothing flashy just good old school work. love watching you guys while freezing in the midwest

[@itarry4]

Wow man, it's great to hear that there's still people's out there doing the old trades the way they've been done for ages. My grandad was a farmer, only a small farm farmed in the old way mostly. Rode his horse everywhere and I still remember watching the farrier doing his thing and being amazed at the way he handled the huge horses.

[@GooseGosselin]

Today I learned you use road salt there, I thought it was just a Canadian thing. Also, I'm new here and I'm sure it's been commented on MANY times, but nice hoist! Looking forward to following the progress, glad to have found your channel!

[@Tobi-ln9xr]

How do you think are other places in the world getting rid of the slippery ice on the streets during winter? It’s crazy how much the people in North America live in their own bubble…

[@GooseGosselin]

@@Tobi-ln9xr I was told little limey men sprinkle hot tea onto iced roads in England. I also heard sand is very popular in places less likely to freeze.

[@Dryden...]

Do you guys have more than 24 hours in your days? The output schedule is insane! Keep up the great work lads.

[@weedfreer]

I'd had wondered whether you'd do an engine out + rebuild on it. Good lads!

[@AmbeamTM]

Really great choice of music on this channel

[@buffplums]

I don’t know why but the chap with the beard reminds me of Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman in the X Men film lol 😂

[@Cam-np5ei]

That engine hoist is absolutely rad!

[@Frozenflame-ji4bl]

Eyyyyyy I saw you put those stands down. Good on ya.

[@traida111]

ive never seen this channel so ive no idea how good your gonna make it. Im sure it will be amazing and I look forward to colins reaction

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

That crane is feirce handy for you guys to have Steve. Makes life very handy.

[@DylSkiii.]

Awesome team, with quality craftsmanship. Have enjoyed watching both Auto Alex & Furze E30’s being worked on by you fellas. Keep up the great work 😎

[@Caleb0106]

Good to see Helen is getting a bit of love, She’s gonna look mint when your done!

[@pyro_gcode]

who here came directly from colins second channel video about the bunker ep4

[@andrewofford1533]

Coilin may need these Guys, to repair the Rust on his Tunnel, if he gets any.................

[@EmilysDadd]

I came here via Matt Armstrong's car ;-) but found Colin's tunnels via YCR

Nice work that is what you get in old cars 🚗 👍 👌

[@andrewbarnes1177]

Love the 5t crane to lift the engine out😂😂😂 Keep up the good work

[@darrenbrown1040]

Nearly 100k subs 💪 absolutely killing it guys keep smashing the videos out 🤟

[@yokingtomcat]

Good job guys getting that engine out! Oh wow 😯 I’m shocked in the how much rust there is too!! Is that due to the salty roads?

[@alejandroalessandro7820]

7:59 beautifully simple solution!

[@kilianfunke8974]

i was waiting for the motor crane, and then he walks the 5 ton crane across the shop.... OVERKILL Fun TOOL to have.

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video!

[@stephenprice7502]

All black wires are common on Thatcham approved anti theft devices. It makes it much harder for the thieves to identify which wires to cut when trying to bypass the security system

[@sirenda926]

The work you guys do is amazing and hypnotic to watch

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Brilliant channel gentlemen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rdgale2000]

Do you think that hoist is overkill much? LOVE IT!

[@Auguste88]

The amount of components in European's cars back then is impressive. The engineering was so different to today's standard... what a restoration project!

[@garymucher4082]

I guess it is a great thing to live in a snow and ice area where they can use chemicals and of course salt to control the icy roads. That alone guarantees lots of rusty repair work... Thumbs Up!

[@VegasMikeP229]

The Taking Apart is the easy part. Fixing it up, and repainting isn't too bad. BUT putting it back together and remembering 1. where are all the bolts, and 2. which bolt goes into "this" hole is the hardest part!! Good luck guys!!

[@rachelcarre9468]

Nice music.

[@NotThatWilliamWallace]

I can't imagine the amount of patience it takes to do this job properly. Good on you for having the expertise and the right mentality -- I have neither.

[@jwalster9412]

The amount of commitment to this is insane. I would have just said no after seeing that rust.

[@rezaq1]

Excellent stuff. I used to live off E30’s about 15 years ago. I’ve had loads including a 325i Sport in Sterling Silver with blue leather (H115EPM) which I restored, a few of 320i Lux (one coupe and two saloons), maybe a couple more and my 1988 E30 M3 in Diamond Schwartz which went off to Holland around 2010 (F118RTM). Loved that thing and had it 5 years which is very long for me! Got my brother a late H plate 215PS M3 in white and then 1 of the 50 UK Sport Evolution 2.5’s. Who would have thought they’re 120k now!!! We still keep a MINT 1990 325i Motorsport Convertible manual in Sebring Grey and with only 91k and a manual box. Done about 1200 miles in 10 years! Lives in storage, more so after some minor paint a few years back. Utterly utterly rot free, and a proper 798 option code car with bubble leather, extended leather dash/door cards etc. Got offered £25k a couple of years ago but it’s not for sale; cannot replace it, and regret selling the M3’s so she stays! Got loads of other toys as well including some Italian stuff and a few Porsche. E30 remains!

[@thordom]

Love the engine hoist, but how slooow is that ramp 😀... loving the content, can't wait to see more

[@david-1775]

You should ask Colin to borrow his hydraulic ram to break up all that rust, maybe a few of his buckets as well.

[@Sohave]

Wow, what is the history behind that building, When you prepared to pool that engine out I was expecting an ordinary engine hoist to be rolled out. Then comes a huge multi ton suspended crane capable of lifting the engine out of a diesel locomotive. Don't get me wrong that is very handy, it is just not something you see in your everyday car shop.

[@CookRacingUK]

These cars are such a dream to work on. Except the rust....

[@splamb6474]

You boys must have all of the Haynes manuals memorised!

[@pedrobraganca3115]

Cool video, bu t i think you should do more cuts in the video, to leave only the essentail parts, take out the walking parts , and the unloading and loading the new car, do some beroll. More comentarys throughout the video would be nice, to keep us updated on things you've found.

[@captainevenslower4400]

1:54 so the E30 had actual cooling ducts for the brakes? That's actually impressive.

[@veteran17865]

You should get it to run off a gasifier or a pulsejet while you're in there. Love the channel.

[@TG-wf6ln]

I've always used different color electrical tape on each wire, then snip it, and you have a visual when re-connecting. @Yorkshire Car Restoration

[@seanmacdude]

great video series guys keep them coming

[@_zzpza]

8:00 All the wires being the same colour is part of the Thatcham Cat2 specification (or was it Cat1 - I can't remember which was alarm and which was immobiliser).

[@bobfrankish8883]

Yes. I remember having a VECTA immobiliser fitted to my Escort RS Turbo back in 1987, and that was all black wires. In fact, that key fob thing on Colin's car looks very similar, might be the same system.

[@neilbarnes3557]

[@Jesse-B]

Poor ol' Col thought a lick of paint and a polished knob would see it through 😁

[@DanRoper-ex2vy]

Love these videos

[@DanRoper-ex2vy]

Get u to my fiesta I love to be on one off your videos I do mopping and paint Corrections

[@Floppychops]

You REALLY need to fully remove the Vecta immobiliser - they were horribly unreliable at even 1 year old and i removed dozens that i had installed as a Vecta installer in the 90’s. It can’t be left in this vehicle - its relays are terrible.

[@oblioi]

wow what a engine hoist lol :o)❤

[@mrdainase]

Sales rep: No other engine hoist can lift as much as ours! YCR: Hold my beer.

[@Cauin450]

Finally!

[@davidbeckett7291]

Well well you do take engines out - really good to know - Are you doing the work on the engine yourself (have seen a comment in the chat that it’s being sent away to get refurbished) well done on the quick work when both Steve and Ryan doing it.

[@heikkipinomaa5720]

You probably saved the life of the owner or a bystander by draining the old fluid from the power steering!

[@aly-b884]

Think a magic wand would be handy.

[@tomahoks]

Put a 2JZ innit❤

[@neubauer.p]

when watching ep1, i was like omg, i need an E30.. then i watched the others.

seeing all this rust, reminds me, why I actually don't miss my E34... 😀

[@DANGERTIM112]

3:56 I recognise that "a" sticker on the right side, indicating Asbestos is present.

[@willemjordaan4108]

You could rebuild a few tanks with that hoist..😂

[@jeno264]

All those thousands of parts, how do you know where they all go again?! 😳💖

[@weedfreer]

Blinkin'eck lads!! Is that a Street 52 Tonne hoist you got in there? I've only ever seen about 2 of them in my life...one of them was being used for something i cant talk about 🤭 What did that place used to be used for then!?

[@thefedup9921]

Best to stagger electrical splices anyhow Is that amount of rot typical for the UK? I shall watch more of your videos and find out

[@4xdblack]

Do you guys reuse all the screws and bolts? Or do you just get new ones?
