Old BMW E30 Scorpion Exhaust Restoration | BMW E30 325i Sport Restoration E8 S1

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks for watching! This will be the last video I make in the UK. It was a bit squeeze, as I'm moving to Spain on the 25th of January. The restorations may slow for a little while. But once I'm there and set up, I'll be posting more than I have ever posted. I'll be making a workshop restoration/build series as soon as I arrive. I currently have an empty room waiting for me. I'm very excited about the future of Restore It. We are only getting started!

Car coming with you?

I thought youre from usa...

[@cyberpixels367]

I just want to se finished car irl. I live in Spain. Suerte

Restore It can I come live in your workshop

[@RestoreIt]

Of course :)

this channel is a sanctuary for people who don't want to watch youtube videos with a bunch of talking. love it

[@paulmcgeoch2603]

This BMW will be worth a small fortune once complete !

[@RestoreIt]

I think so. But I can't sell it! lol.

[@paulmcgeoch2603]

Restore It might change ur mind when the offers roll in 😎

[@stenciljunkie]

I seriously can’t wait to see the finished product. The amount of time, effort, and dedication going into this project is amazing. The best part, you’re making new what was once old. Great job! This is my favorite channel on KZbin.

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you big time AC! It's comments like this that drive me. I'm so glad you like the channel. I'm only getting started.

[@Kyun_dere]

degreaser? i think you mean soapy wooder :p

I love the way you make your videos - no talking, no "being aswesome", no wasting time - just pure DIY. Hope this won't change when you move to Spain :) All the best and a lot of sun!

[@markbrown1609]

I just found this channel. This guy goes the distance. I have two e30's and getting many good pointers from guy.

[@themistoklisanastasiadis]

are you going for an engine rebuild too? (certainly hope so)... dude you put a smile on my face any time i see a video of yours. thank you.

[@RestoreIt]

I sure am dude, I have all of the parts waiting.

[@iTzKomplett]

why are you making this e30 so damn nice?! is it going to be a museum car?

[@duncanhowarth9514]

It'll probably end up getting stacked on its first trip out.

[@snakecold6755]

no. shut up

[@Unhandleablehandle]

Is anyone else extremely eager to see this whole car when it’s finished? 😍

[@RestoreIt]

Me two!

[@Pharaoh025]

I love those car parts videos the most because every item you restore is a full-on fascinating project in their own right. No matter how small or large the parts are, they're all an intricate and involved project to restore. That is why, I think, this project is amazing to follow. Hopefully I'll be around to see the full car!

[@fordfan3179]

Cheers brother. I used to do muffler work back in the 70 s. We never restored anything. We replaced alot of crap, but never restored it.

[@savage_heck5713]

Great shit man. You are preserving a price of history.

[@lordvengerx]

Outstanding work as always. It's the staple of the restoration community

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you, dude. I always look forward to seeing a comment from you.

@@RestoreIt you're welcome and thank you very much 😃

[@RestoreIt]

Haha! I'm outta here! Thanks, Ben. If all goes well. I'll be creating a 'Restore It Ranch' out in Spain for any cold weather viewers who want a hands-on holiday! See you there?

[@grahamefreestone5309]

@@RestoreIt .. Just a FYI, if you have any chrome to polish, be careful with the autosol. I know its says chrome cleaner on it, but it can be a bit harsh because chrome is very thin. There's definitely better polishes out there for chrome. Autosol is brilliant stuff though. I always used it on my motorbike casings and wheels. 👍 🇬🇧

[@Pr0vost]

Can’t wait to see the finished project. Would say you could maybe put any promotions at the start, it’s a bit jarring having them come out of the blue once you’re engrossed in the video. Keep up the good work.

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, Provost, and thanks for the advice. The thing with these brand deals is they have a very specific set of requirements I have to stick to. I will take what you have said onboard though, for sure.

[@skorpius2029]

@@RestoreIt yeah they want it somewhere in middle for a reason. I personally don't mind sponsor ads as long as they don't take half the video. Keep doing what you do ;)

[@Shane-Singleton]

Nice restoration. I would vote for leaving the current exhaust tips on it. If for no other reason than them having the manufacturer logo on them. I like retaining stuff like that when doing restorations.

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks Shane. And interesting thinking. I'm not sure if Scorpion put them on, or someone else.

[@Shane-Singleton]

@@RestoreIt could be either one. But if it is a period correct aftermarket performance part then having the logo ads to the correctness. Similar to having a modern Borla or Dinan piece.

[@2003garyb]

Hey, Steve! Wow! Mirror finish mufflers (silencers)! Great job. I'm so excited for you as you start your journey of a lifetime. I know you've been planning this for a long time. We'll keep watching as you set up shop and fulfill your dreams. Take care, my friend.

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you as always Gary. It's going to be a big job moving, but I can imagine the end result, so its going to happen :) You always keep me motivated. Take care and speak soon.

[@user-kg5hg4yo1g]

I like watching you restore car parts the best.

[@K9B8H6]

The end result is fantastic

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you!

[@TheRealTekki]

Shine bright like a diamond

[@ElectricGears]

You could use an old projector screen above your bench that could be pulled down in front of the parts bins and toolboxes while you're buffing stuff to prevent the compound from covering everything.

[@RestoreIt]

Good idea. I'm moving workshops soon and will design it with this in mind. Thanks man.

[@Silent-Lucidity]

You have some serious patience! I would have tossed them out and bought new. But, you did a great job restoring them!

[@planejet42]

Those look great! Stainless steel is a godsend!

[@GrizzlyGarage]

What in the world was in that degreaser 😂😂 you wiped it off and I was like whelp that's the end of the video

[@Lameosity]

Awesome video as always! As a BMW owner and car enthusiast I especially love this series of restoration videos. I have loved watching your skill improve and watch you try different tools and techniques as your channel has gone on. I have been inspired by you and hope to do some amateur restorations of my own on passed down tools I have and on my own BMW. (Side Note) I'm not a big fan of the exhaust tips on that. Lol

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks, Aaron, That is epic to hear! Thank you for sharing that with me. Send me some photo if you're up for it. Email in the description. I'm also not the biggest fan of the huge pipes... Very... Ali G.

[@TheFresh1979]

Good job,we want more movie with BMW 😉

[@suzukietc1373]

A quick tip for cleaning stainless is harpic 10 bleach. Paste on with a brush leave for 5 to 10 mins and then wipe off. Then a good soapy clean and rinse. Cuts a lot of time off the polishing process

[@michael_graper]

Those wheel buffing ball pad things work great at getting in to weird and tight spots, I think they could help you a little

[@rubenolaussen6227]

I dont know why but i keep coming back to your videos. I think its the 4th or 5th time ive watched this one 😂 (but that does not mean i want you to post more often. Take your time 😊

[@immasurvivor]

Great video as always! Your attention to detail and production value has made me dislike some other restoration channels xD

[@TatusFAB]

Next time when u tig welding, keep the post flow over the hot metal and let it stay until it is not redhot. And let it ”cool” This way u can eliminite the oxidation& and keep stainless stainless👍 also u should only use stainless wheel brush on stainless. Regular one is going to brake the chrome oxide layer and after that it is going to get some rust. But also really nice restoration👍

[@works4me89]

can't wait for engine rebuild :D:D

[@sats7819]

Spray it with high temp clear as a temporary measure. Ceramic coating is the way but very nice job buddy

[@RestoreIt]

I was thinking can I spray it? I'll look into ceramic coatings for it. Cheers man.

@@RestoreIt Did you weld over those tiny holes?

[@heckler3119]

Autosol is one of the best products in the restoration trade. I use it on anything that needs to be made shiny.

[@sockman6058]

For video disliking poeple: It is his car he does things his way, how he sees it.

[@ACDC1998Zippo]

as you have gone through all that trouble I´d suggest you clean the exhaust with isopropyl alcohol and put a ceramic coating over it. It will not be perfect and most of it will never be seen after installing it under the car, but it will stay shiny and protected for a very long time

[@gamalosman4775]

this is coming together really well i think end results are soon enough :D iam happy for you man nice video keep it up

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you Gamal!

[@BOKOLIS76]

Dude!! You nailed it

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Very beautiful, gleaming stainless steel. Tip for you: To easily remove or install rubber hanger insulators- a spritz of brake parts cleaner on the rubber lets it slip very easily. It only lasts for a few seconds, so work fast. Way better than any grease or silicone spray, and won't damage the rubber like petroleum greases will.

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks for the advice man!

[@DanteTheAbyssalBeing]

Your welding is improving hugely every video. Lovely end result on this one too :)

It would be really helpful if you could summarise the time it took you to fully restore the car, how much it cost for all the extra parts and some useful sources for finding these spare parts. It'd be great if you could talk about it at the end of the project. Btw, I've loved the restoration so far. I've binge-watched the entire playlist. Keep it up!
