Two things. 1st, where did you get the tool to hold the water pump pulley and what was the cost? And 2nd, would love to have seen how you bled the coolant system. I blew the head gasket on a Pontiac Grand Am years ago, because i didn’t know the system had to be bled, and had no idea how to do it. It was the first modern car that I worked on replacing the radiator. I had only had older and classic cars that bleeding the system wasn’t required on. I would sure hate to blow the head gaskets on my Hemi.

Great video! I'm currently tackling rust on my e30 that was hiding behind the gas tank. Best of luck with the build!

3rd gen rams are the best trucks ever made...subd for that content...check out mine

Nice video, love the history. I have owned mine for 6 years! And have no plans to sell it. I make e30 content as well and have 2 videos i am about to post

Great informational video Sir thank you for sharing, jeep up the content.

Congrats on all the years of ownership, never sell it!!

Nice work dog

Have you hit the dyno since installing the ITBs?

Great job son. Hopefully we can get the head out to you soon.

Good video of ownership. A good channel for metal repair and prep for paint is Joedaddysgarage. Hes got a ton of excellent videos, its mostly on older mustangs but the same principles apply. I hit 31 years of ownership last month, Im the second owner and it will go to my son someday. Send me your email and ill shoot you some pictures

Oh boy! Rust repair will be fun

I’ve been following all your videos since I found them a couple yers ago. It’s definitely helped with my build (2.9 M20 stroker). Keep up the good work.

Bucket 🪣 of dry ice would have done the job lots faster

Have done this job in the past on a Honda. It wa very tedious. But the best little toool besides the flaring tool was a cheap little tubing bender tool I got from advance for $5 (W704C).

I also would throw a steering rack in there, more involved but absolutely worth it. Also wheel studs are a favorite of mine too. I would agree with you on suspension, but I'd say basically any suspension mod - bushings, sways, springs, shocks, coilovers, whatever. Wheels&tires too, but I'm ditching 16s due to tire selection, so I'd probably just say a set of light 15x8s and good tires. My 5th one? no idea. I want to say shifter or seats. Seats definitely, but the bang for buck on the shifter is better so it's a hard decision...

This is a great list! Completely agree that the Euro grills look so much better on these cars. A more involved upgrade that is a must do in these cars are the subframe reinforcements/bushings, especially in the rear.

Good list! Id also add the z3 or e46 steering rack. Something I still need to do.

1:51 is an E30 M3 similar to what my friend had painted. Where was this show located

Take passengers wiper off lower it a few clicks and it will sit lower. Great work.

If you ever decided to sell, kindly let me know. Thank you

Man--I had to skip this year. The stroker 2.9 was kicking my ass. Would like to have met you. I'm finally getting the itbs onto my car and your videos are a huge help.

Where is this track?

I know its been a while and not sure you are checking the comments anymore, but would you happen to have a base tune to share? I have the exact same setup that I am about to finish installing.

How long did this take you mate

Very good video good details and explanation👌👌👌👍👍👍

Where was this meet at?

hey brother, maybe you can help, I have a bmw E30 but I have swapped the engine to a Nissan SR20 DET my speedo, fuel and temp gauges work but not my tachometer I need to feed a signal to the tachometer do you know from where I can get my signal connection? Is it from the coil signal wire or the injector pulse wire? Ecu wire? I have no idea how to get a signal.. if you have a suggestion Please advise 🙏

Wow. Saved me. Your breakdown of how to get it apart and repaired was spot on. Thank you!

My floorplan included two of these for workbench space, but I've been waiting for this to go on sale since my garage was kind-of finished and I haven't seen a sale. So my old 26" boxes and some shelving have migrated up from the basement and now I just live with 2' of bench space and it's less than ideal. Hoping once I'm fully moved in, I can get back on track. I will say that Amazon has metal cabinets by "Fedmax" that are the cheapest I've seen, and that's what I'm using for my chemical storage. In case you're looking.

Excited to see where this goes!

You will appreciate the usefulness of that tool box.

Don’t know if you’ve molded big pieces like this before but calculations is critical. Also invest in an aluminum roller, it spreads the resin much better than when doing it with a brush. When spreading resin you don’t want to see any “white spots”. That’s air trapped in the fibers and those needs to be removed for a solid mold. Keep up the good work! I’m sure it’s gonna look good in the end 🤠

Better off putting a e90 booster and master on, the 750il master only works on abs cars and its not ideal, the e90 master and booster is more suited to the e30 brake sizes

Great vid and many thanks. I would just add that this is identical for the Australian Kluger and that around 4:20min into the vid, that if you pull each mob off, you can completely remove that inner board for easy access to the screws. Jobs done. Keep up the great work.

I don't want a Ferrari, or a Porsche. I want an E30. In 1988 and 1989 my then girlfriend used to let me drive her 318i when it was brand new. It wasn't an M3, but it was still fabulous.

The primer is a good call, and the single coat IMO is the right call. The paint should cover well in one coat. I can't tell the difference between the wall I hit with 4 coats of primer and the rest that only received one.

Nice filming, thanks. About to replace mine on my e28…terrible intermittent brake fade (loss of braking).

Thanks for putting this up! Was able to fix it as you described.

Did you check the oil cooler adapter to block o-ring?

👍🏼 great job, nothing more satisfying than upkeeping a good ole truck

I’m new to all this, but I’m going through a refresh on an M30B35 in an E34 (new engine seals, head gasket, rebuild engine head and add ITBs). And just having it out of the car on an engine stand makes things much easier and gives peace of mind, because you can see and get to every single part of the engine. It probably takes a bit longer getting it all out of the car, but I reckon time gets saved in the future, because all seals etc are done in one hit rather than bit by bit. But in saying that, I’ll see how I go, I’m yet to get the engine back in the car 😅

That's not junk it's a E30 no matter what.

cool builds are so much more fun than M3s in my opinion. Wrenching over big budgets any day.

Would love to visit the picnic. My car is in Maui. Just an original 89 Cabrio. New paint, interior It’s my daily so not as immaculate clean

I've never thought about this before, but I wonder if using the engine bay/windscreen/fender corner as the default place to put any fasteners you remove is a universal E30 thing?

blunttech tag spotted

nice! just ordered the same catch can for my m20 swapped bmw 2002. You saved a bunch of time finding a can/hose combo that'll work well

I know people say to resurface the head of you take it off, has this one ever been resurfaced?

Any improvement?

My truck uses the red Mopar coolant. I buy it on Amazon for $19 Not sure if it's factory coolant or just a previous owner decision.
