I swear, when the e30 full restoration series is over, sometime in the future, I will watch every episode back to back for the full restore it experience. its gonna be epic. bro you could make a full on documentary outta it I swear
I think this sometimes as well Koneko. These cars are going to take a long time to restore and film everything like I do. But once they're done... I think I will make a small documentary style video talking about the whole process and the story behind it. Thanks man.
That was a big teardown. I assume it will be faster as it's mainly the paintwork that needs fixing? Even with just a new paint job and minimal repairs, It will look really good. But yours is going to be like driving a brand new car so interested to see both!
It was indeed. It took a while! But you're absolutely right Cheshire. This is more of a typical style restoration that will actually be finished quite soon. My style is a bit over the top, but its the only way I can do it and be happy. It's each to their own and I'm glad I can help Antonio on this project and have some satisfaction of a complete project vicariously through him. The car is already resprayed and back at my house. It looks brand new. I can't wait to have my two resprayed. Cheers lad.
That was fun!!!!! To watch! Wish i can be there! Edited. Normal its annoying people to break down videos into 2 3 parts. But not this! Im sure lot of us will enjoy slow detailed together w voice over action 🤙
Oh thank god!!! I thought I was the only one that removed my engine to fix my door locks. I knew someone else out there also knew that this was the proper way!!
BTW; you are getting pretty handy with welding all those holes, but 1 tip; buy a thick strip of copper. Hold that to the hole on the other side of the panel and you can weld simply over it, the copper won't stick to your welding and it is also a great heat-absorber!
Normally I don't comment, but just a quick tip from my experience. Avoid silicone sprays(WD-40) anywhere near a car destined for a repaint. It can cause "fish-eyes" in new paint. You are probably aware of this but perhaps others will find this useful. I really enjoy your e30 series as a long time owner 👍 Thanks for the excellent videos.
Well done mate, you've done so much in this episode and the restoration of this m3 is going fast foreward ! Can't wait to see the chassis painted ! Great ! Have fun guys !
Love watching this, big inspiration! Keep it up! And one tip for welding holes like the small holes from the aftermarket alarm, take a piece of copper tubing and whack it flat. Hold that against the hole from the back. Much easier to fill holes like that. The weld wont stick to the copper and the tube will extract alot of heat aswell so it wont burn through as easy.
Great work man! 😊 it's great seeing you work together/having extra pair of hands doing a job. Looks like a big job. It's different but, last week I dismantled my PS3 to give it/the fan a thorough clean, new thermal paste and put it back together. I'd never done it before.
Thank you Liam! It's great having another pair or hands I must say. That's great to hear, I remember doing the same with my PS3. Felt great to fix it :) You can now do that as a job! If only we all still had ps3's :D
@@RestoreIt you're welcome! 😁 Yh, I bet it is. Can get so much done and less heavy lifting which is good. Yh, I've watched videos on how to clean them the past few years and I've had it over a decade and hadn't used it since last year. There was so much dust in it and Sony use a cheap thermal paste so it's best to change it. It feel good to clean it 😊 I was worried about messing it up but luckily did it 🤣 aha. I don't know if I could do it as a job lol! My brother in law has one so I could clean his if he wanted me to. Wanted to play my old games. I don't get rid of consoles/games. Just replace if they don't work :P I have a ps4 too but not played many games. I'm so picky. I have plenty of ps2 and 3 games.
Just a little tip, you need the head of the engine crane as close to the engine as possible. Gives you the maximum amount of lift and reach. Will make the job far easier.
Great video once again man! Cool to see good film work with actually interesting footage of something I care so much about. One day I'd like to restore my Honda Prelude to her former glory. Seeing this stuff gives me so much inspiration. So thanks man, keep it up!
@@RestoreIt I would strongly recommend that Antonio consider removing the front glass to check for rust. A common problem on E30 M3, especially if the glass has ever been replaced previously.
I have to ask this but is your plan to restore the cars you work on with a view to sell them on...? The level of workmanship you have and the attention to detail is staggering... you work like a Trojan!
Goddamn the E30 M3 also looks so nice in white.. I usually see them in red around here (that is, if I have the godly chance to see one driving around and start drooling all over the place).
Hey mate excellent work as always, really enjoy watching your videos. Also appreciate the direct details you put in with your camera angles and editing, keep up the great work. I'm sure your probably finished this m3 job already, its a shame cause i would have asked you if you could have taken some measurements of an NLA part. The rear plastic brackets, the ones on the rear bumper not the chassis. I'm doing a restoration and would like to make the part cause i can't find it anywhere.
Stripped in no time!! Check out Redish Motorsport on YT, they do underside restorations on E46 M3s. They’ve formulated a sprayable seam sealer that looks better than factory, worth looking into for yours. Also POR15 rust treatment is brilliant for rust repair and prevention ! Keep up the good work!
I need to express my admiration for your work and dedication , I need your help I am trying to build an engine stand could please give me dimension of the engine stand that you have specially the plate that hold the engine its size and the groove dimension and orientation
These tear downs can be fun but exhausting at the same time. You soon learn and wonder why the fuck some of these engineers would design something impractical when it could have been done better. Engineers design, mechanics fix their fuck ups
@@RestoreIt no, I prefer you doing the snaps to completing the objective , rather than showing the "Other guy" helping and how"..;) But still , great job.;)
This reminds me of when I had my 88 M-3. Good memories of the best sports car I ever had. But I never took it apart that much,just regular servicing. Nobody removes all that for just a re-spray. Are your changing color?
i imagine theyre not doing this for free as its not his m3. Maybe the guy requested it be done this way and theyre respraying every single painted surface. who knows
Restore It I get tears in my eyes every time I see a picture of an M-3. I got rid of mine in a moment of frustration over maintenance costs. I regret selling it so much.

Nice video! Cant wait to the next one.
Haha... I'm self aware kay. Cheers francisco!
YES! HERE WE GO!
Enjoy Didas!

I think I speak for everyone: We Want More! lol
I have much more of this to come :)
yes (Y)
Don’t mind killing my time for this series
I try and pack in as much work/progress as I can :)
Restore It yes that’s the motivation
That was fun!!!!! To watch! Wish i can be there!

Thanks Anpredictable! It's a good time working on E30's that's for sure.
I hope you will come out the next part soon , I would love to see how it is restored and perfected so it can work again !
Excellent restoration video
Thanks as always Elektronik!
Hi 👋👋👋 well done guys, quickly disassembled and prepared the car for restoration, waiting for the continuation 👌🏽✌🏻 🇷🇺
Thanks dude! We made this look easy, it took a while haha.
17:15 - Excellent work on filling those holes.

Ich freue mich schon auf die Fortsetzung 👍
Coming soon!
Hi ,Was ist so einer in Deutschland wert? Lg aus mannheim
I had no idea your gas/petrol over there was blue. Haha, you learn something new every day. (I'm from the US for reference)
I'm glad you know your limits. Keep at it and you will get there one day!
I would very much like to see the restoration of the BMW E34 on your channel
Wow, so much work goes into taking it apart!
This is only partially apart as well. Going all the way is when it get crazy. I will show you that on the tourng when I start the full resto :)
Well done mate, you've done so much in this episode and the restoration of this m3 is going fast foreward ! Can't wait to see the chassis painted ! Great ! Have fun guys !
In North Carolina, that would be called a Dirt Dauber nest. Wasps make paper nests. Cool series!
Amazing start ... Congrats. Awaiting for next.
Thanks Kavinsandron! Lots of this to come.
Awesome dude. I have an 89 m3. This series is gonna be a big help for me.
Can’t wait for it watching all the way from Southern California
Love watching this, big inspiration! Keep it up! And one tip for welding holes like the small holes from the aftermarket alarm, take a piece of copper tubing and whack it flat. Hold that against the hole from the back. Much easier to fill holes like that. The weld wont stick to the copper and the tube will extract alot of heat aswell so it wont burn through as easy.
Always admire your attention to detail, even when disassembling.. look forward to more videos.
Keep it up! Always enjoy a tear down
Cheers dude, me too!
That trunk floor totally clean :o
No rust! So lucky...
Indeed. Extremely lucky. The whole body seems to be in quite nice condition.
cant wait for urs to get back together thanks again for something to do as we have till the 18th to stay at home
Thanks Wolfie! Me either. I hope the lockdown ends soon as well.
LOVE your series! Could you please explain why you took all this apart just to paint the car?
13:32 - Nice to hear that Charlie Brown's parents helped you out a bit.
I played it backwards. You are really quick in assembling! ;-)
Great work here lads keep there lockdown busting videos coming 👍👍
Loving the content! Your channel was major inspiration for me to start my own. Cheers!
Thanks dude, good luck with it!

Great job but you killed me when took off the door seal stickers...
New stickers are ready go in the car after repainting
This will be absolutely beautiful when it’s finished 👌🏼 is he going for a complete nut&bolt restoration?
It will Paul! And not a complete nut and bolt resto, but quite thorough. Like i say it'll be finished sooner than mine :)
Restore It as the saying goes
Rome wasn’t built in a day 👍🏼
The touring in the corner ❤
Nice one looking forward to the next part .
Insane level bodywork
I cannot believe that this car is still in it's original state, and how solid it is.
В каком потрясающем состоянии машинка. Удачи в работе!
Well done. Thanks for sharing
that is too awesome, love watching this.
Great video once again man! Cool to see good film work with actually interesting footage of something I care so much about. One day I'd like to restore my Honda Prelude to her former glory. Seeing this stuff gives me so much inspiration. So thanks man, keep it up!
Great job.
I can really see your skills devellopping.
9:50 Yeee
Took us about 15 minutes of trying to get that yeee
Wow! That was a cool break down!
Can't wait to see the next episode!
Great Video!
I truly hope he will remove the glass before the respray.
Good job guys!
Antonio decided against it. He wants this car finished in good time unlike me :)
@@RestoreItAhhh. That will bug me the rest of the series 🙈

I wish you were here in California to help with my E30 restoration.
Just fly your car over :D
Wow this was satisfying
This is beautiful
Cant wait to the next video!!! Awesome
Thanks Daniel!
what a job very interesting ! i like
I don't need Roman, this video is enough
I'm glad to hear it, I'm not sure they'll be so happy! :D
The car looks to be in a great condition, not much rust..
Holy crap that body is in great contition. I can't see any rust?
Yeah it's never lived in wet countries, no rust!
@@RestoreIt In that condition here in Finland, that car would easily sell 50-60k€. Easily..
I needed it
You got it :)
A very nice video and thank God no music !!!!!
I really want one, but they are hard to find where I'm from. I cant wait to see the next video :) nice video, keep up the good work xx
@Restore It
With this video sped up you guys sound like a
Minion/Jawa Mix working on the BMW 🤣🤣🤣🤣
More Please & Thank You ‼️😜🤣🤣🤣
This is gold, the fact that she is white colored makes things much much better
Glad you enjoyed it TheBalhatus!
Amazing!!!
Thank you for new video :)
Thanks for watching :)
E30 worthes it, great car, i used to have 2 different ones, 87 m20 and restyle 88 m40 coupe, miss them so much...
Man I wish every day was Thursday
Goddamn the E30 M3 also looks so nice in white.. I usually see them in red around here (that is, if I have the godly chance to see one driving around and start drooling all over the place).
Great that Alvin and the chipmunks were there to help out 😂😂😂

♥️ good job
Waiting for complition..😀😀
Great episode chaps, when will we be seeing you on the Discovery Channel?
sin palabras, un 10
MY FAVORITE SERIES
Will you do the video’s on the engine and gearbox. Which flywheel and clutch will you use?
O mate, I see a big deal ahead!!!Good luck!
Cheers as always Ozzy!
Beautiful!
You should live the voice so mean while we learn spanish
Veo mucho trabajo por delante...
Oh yes!
Great job Antonio :)
He really did well considering he has no mechanical experience at all :D
Thank you!
انا من الجزائر أتمنى لك التوفيق
From ChrisFix latest video you can see a very clever way to fill up small holes
I might have to check it out cheers!
That's the best promo code for ED, restore your member lol
I need to express my admiration for your work and dedication , I need your help I am trying to build an engine stand could please give me dimension of the engine stand that you have specially the plate that hold the engine its size and the groove dimension and orientation

Nice...👍
Perfect 👌👍❤
Enjoy :)
Alpinweiss E30 M3 👌🏼
That Is what we wait
Thank you, Vukcarina
You could really benefit from having a 2 post lift.
Oh i could. I'm not sure I can have one in this rented house though. Something for the future aye :)
I think you need the floor to be 10cm deep, so there's that too.
You make everything look easy. :) How long did stripping this down actually take?
Is there a way you can get all those engine bay stickers new to correct spec or do you just not put any back?
I must say. I don't like the new format. but its still informative..!!! Nice one guys..;)
I think this one could have done with some music as it was quite alot of the same thing. Cheers!

This is so true...
