Mother of god, dude, this is ultra professional and probably a 15.000 dollars restoration. You deserve more viewers!!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thank you! It did cost close to $15k to restore with me doing 99% of the labour 😂

для правильной реставрации еще надо бы гнилые места заменить, а не покрасить.

In the video he had some sreten moves, like painting the seatbelt clips, so he probably watched his content.

That's a job well done. It was nice to see the car developing over these two years, and now this complete recap as timelapse. Thumbs up!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks for joining the journey!

Absolutely well done job. That car talked luxury even before you restored now it's Ultra Luxury.

[@helmsman6542]

Stunning work and car!

[@nathanglynn7443]

This was so pleasurable to wake up to on a cold rainy Sunday morning. This was amazing and good on you for restoring it so it can be enjoyed for years to come. I daily drive a w116 from 78, I kept the patina because I like that sort of thing but I refreshed the interior, some mechanical bits and bobs and treated all the rust. I love older cars

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jaynareynolds3684]

This restoration is beyond excellent. Stunning. Humbling. We have great admiration of your skills and congratulate you on this masterpiece!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

[@harshabiliangady3211]

I hope you kept this beauty for your self!

Great synopsis of all the hard work. Very helpful to any e34 owner regardless of engine and model year. I learned a lot for my e34 1990 535i one owner car. Thanks, love it! :)

[@habsom1406]

Oooh, la, la, that looks stupendous! What a gorgeous machine, you certainly brought it back to being glorious, well done man, great work. Interesting how you resolved the faulty fuel gauge issue, mine is stuck atm. The interior leather, wood etc and exterior colour really make this car look rather special ....and it's a V8 too. I love my M50 e34 manual so I'm sure this baby V8 puts a smile on your face too. Perhaps you could film some road trips in it now? 👍😎

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks mon ami! It is a time capsule and its very special to drive especially now that its so clean… my biggest issue is parking space and vehicular ADD - too many projects and cars I wanna get my hands dirty with! Thanks for following along on the journey, its been inspirational

@@DeadEndRestorationsthank you so much for sharing your experience and taking time to restore this beautiful relic of the past. May I ask you what size dimensions are you using for the garage space for the garage ? I’m looking to do the same with my single car garage but to no avail have I found much luck from many different sources and hope that it’s not too much trouble to ask for some advice or suggestions. Thanks mate

[@DeadEndRestorations]

@@That_fella_named_J thank you! Its about 9.5 feet by 25 feet long. I have one big toolbox at the end and a small work table/bench. Its very tight on the sides, thankfully e34 is super narrow but it is a bit long…

[@DeadEndRestorations]

@@That_fella_named_J my other advice is get storage racks on the walls and get stuff off the floor as much as possible, if its in the air it wont get in the way 😉
