Dip your drill bit in cutting oil before each hole, use firm pressure on the drill and slooooow speed and your bits will last for 25 holes. You are overheating your bits and removing the hardening (i.e. annealing them). In hardened steel you can use solid carbide bits but drill carefully because they are brittle but hard as sh*t.
Yea I learned high pressure and slow speed but I was still chipping my bits :( Did not have cutting oil at the time but I order a drill sharpener and oil for next time! Thanks for commenting and helping I appreciate it
@@ShawnzeyRacing That as well! 😅😂 But you came a long way! Really nice work! After you finish it hold onto it and then you might be able to sell it for quite big bag of dollars 😁
Love the videos. I don't mind wrenching on my own BMW's, but man, doing repair work like this is beyond me. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next update.
Aw I think if your already wrenching then you could do this too. It's honestly harder just because of the money investment needed for tools. And space requirements lol :)
Bruv you make everything I do look miniscule.... just casually taking a car apart down to the metal frame 🤣🤣... and then some. Keep it up, this Supra is lucky to have you as it's owner, you gave it a second chance at life.
In such a short amount of time, your video editing skills have improved so much! I don't know how you do it with all the work you're doing on the car and you have a job!!! You're insane!!
Keep doing your thing man. You’re good at what you do. One day you’ll be earning big $$$ off the views of all the videos. I’ve literally watched you rebuild that BMW twice, a whole 8 hours. Keep going g!! Definitely do another series of buying used cars and rebuilding them and selling them for profit!!!!
I appreciate the support my man! Definitely want to keep doing this, it's so much more fun then I could've imagined! Just thankful I get so much love from you guys in the comments!
I can't decide on a color either! It makes the most sense to keep it the red for money sake. But I want to paint it something different. Still thinking!
Such a small channel taking on such a big project. I admire your work ethic. I wish I had the power to gift you a few hundred thousand subscribers. Unfortunately I do not. Keep up the hard work bro and hopefully your success will come within.
The added strength from the stitching is good, It's not overkill but I don't know if something does to happen or someday you'll need to fix anything (I hope not) it will be pain in the arss to try taking those things apart. That's probably the reason why body shop didn't just do stitch weld. One is for time and material saving and the other is just for insurance if something does happen on the future or they'll need to redo something. Anyway, great job for someone who just do this first time in their lives, you look like a professional if you didn't say that. Really😂
Yea for sure! I really wanted to make sure if something on this car failed it wasn't because I didn't weld the frame on well enough lol. Thanks for watching!
@ShawnzeyRacing I know what you mean and I experience does couple times, we will always doubt things when it's our first time doing it, but trust me, Plug welds is enough to hold everything, if that's fail, you have a bigger problem. And look, the factory use pinch weld with more spacing than you do, they pass the safety regulations and the car does hold up down the road. We in the other hand just make it a lot stronger by using mig welder instead of pinch welder and on your case, you make the spacing between each hole more closer meaning you have more plug welds. That's better than factory rather than as good as the factory. But whatever, what's done is done. But next time you did this type of work, maybe considering just plugging the weld instead wasting time and material, stitching it and grinding it to smooth. I'm sure it saves you a couple hundred feet of mig wire, a welding gas, sander, electricity, and most importantly, Time.
Thanks so much for your time and advice I really appreciate it! Definitely doubled the cost of welding doing all the seams and yes more importantly a lot of time. So next time I'll just be plug welding!
Well done mate, do you have grind 400 welds down now before seem sealing lol? Also have you got a can of cavity wax with the long straw, if you do a amazon wish list I will try and buy it for you but I'm in the UK so it might now work.
When welding, it's better to weld through thin metal on to thick metal. The longitudinal members are easier to weld from the top, through the floor pan.
Makes more sense! I will have to use a better spot weld drill bit next time because I did not like the ones I used. I preferred to use the file belt sander.
@@ShawnzeyRacing drill the centre of spot weld with an 1/8th drill ( pilot hole for later) Then you can belt sand the spot weld from underneath. Oh, and when welding through zinc- when panel is screwed in place use a pic or screwdriver to clean the zinc out of the 🕳️ welding will be much easier👌🏻
It's always more expensive and more work then you think it will be! :) Do it if you have sentimental value with the car. If not it might not be worth it. But hopefully you can see from my videos everything is fixable just depends how much time and money you want to spend
Is the 6 cylinder engine dead for the car, remember maybe there was water in it or a hole? Anyway if it is you could consider putting a B48 in and doing some mods that make over 400bhp, there's a guy on RUclips who did it to his, he's removed it from his 3 series now though to fit a B58. Maybe he's selling it surly a lot cheaper than a B58. Hope yours is OK though.
You started off so well . But then you totally and completely stuffed it up with stitch welding it . Next time use copper behind your hole repair as it works as a heat sink and the weld will not go through it and stay flat .
I did use copper behind the holes I should've mentioned that. I'm curious why you think the seam welds ruin it? Gonna have to explain/prove that lol...
@@ShawnzeyRacing The factory does not stitch weld for a reason as it it is designed to giver a bit . And it will not look factory and also ugly when you finish it . And when you go to sell it you will not get a good price .
All of it will be covered by seam sealer and plastic decorations so not to worried about it being ugly. But yea if certain welds are supposed to give out maybe they won't anymore but I think the metal will crumple as normal. But I am definitely no professional. Something to consider for sure
You deserve more views :)
Thanks! Maybe one day. Gotta earn it

Respect for all the efforts and energy you are putting into this build!
Thank you so much I appreciate it!
This is gonna be the greatest BMW Supra ever!
Maybe the most repaired one lol 😂
@@ShawnzeyRacing That as well! 😅😂

You are very much crazy. But i absolutely love it. Amazing job.
Everyone is a little crazy about something right!? :) Glad you're here!

so much hard work in there. good one mate. keep it up. i've never seen something like this before
That was a goal of mine! I wanted to do something a little crazy. But I probably over did that a bit lol
2:30 am welding like a beast ! 😂
Couldn't sleep! I had work to do lol
Never doubt your self. Always think positive if your put mind to it and figure it out anything is possible.
Spot on! I had to push through the pulling steps man I was doubting I could do it with what I had
Awesome progress! Keep it up. Can't wait to see what color you're going to paint it. Nimbus gray would look killer!
I can't decide on a color either! It makes the most sense to keep it the red for money sake. But I want to paint it something different. Still thinking!
Challenges arise to test our limitations and to erase them. Well done.
This supra is definitely testing me! But I think the hardest part is past us :)
We'll see what the engine has in store though lol
Coolest frame machine ever! 😅
It was a pain to set up but it did ok. I will buy a frame puller next time I do something like this though lol

Hey thanks that means a lot! I watch those guys all the time lol
@@ShawnzeyRacing You should watch Vtuned and 23rd garage, they do raw frame work all the time
Respect to you brother. Keep at it. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! We'll get this thing back to the streets for sure

@ShawnzeyRacing I can't wait to see the next episode of this build man. Keep on cranking those wrenches and keyboard.

Well done mate, do you have grind 400 welds down now before seem sealing lol? Also have you got a can of cavity wax with the long straw, if you do a amazon wish list I will try and buy it for you but I'm in the UK so it might now work.
I got 4 cans of the cavity wax! Thanks for the offer though I appreciate it :)

Makes sense! Would take a lot of time to get the holes in the right spot on the floor pan but could be worth it
@@ShawnzeyRacing hi, just drill the old spot welds out through the top💪🏻
Makes more sense! I will have to use a better spot weld drill bit next time because I did not like the ones I used. I preferred to use the file belt sander.

Awesome advice man really appreciate it! Glad your here!
You could've pushed the firewall out with a harbor freight hydraulic body repair press kit.
An option for sure! I'll probably buy that kit to straighten the frame out the last 16mm it needs.
I just wrecked my Supra. Considering buying it back to repair it. Any thoughts?
It's always more expensive and more work then you think it will be! :)
Do it if you have sentimental value with the car. If not it might not be worth it. But hopefully you can see from my videos everything is fixable just depends how much time and money you want to spend
0:01 here we go again....🚗
I was wondering where you were! Glad your here :)

The next video I'm posting is tearing down the B58 and going over the damage! Tune in to see how it is :)
call it the shitbox of thesus lol fr tho amazing work dude
Thanks man! Not much of it is the original car anymore for sure lol.
The firewall is pushed in
I pulled it out a bit but yea its not perfect. Going to need a frame machine to fid that the rest of the way.
Wait you forgot a spot behind the frame rail
I mean ill triple check but I did double check off camera :D
You prematurely disassembled the front frames before pulling and measuring
That makes sense and I'll remember it for next time! Awesome advice thanks
upload next video!!
Working on it!
You started off so well . But then you totally and completely stuffed it up with stitch welding it . Next time use copper behind your hole repair as it works as a heat sink and the weld will not go through it and stay flat .

Vote Trump so Shwanzey can do more projects
The Govt can't stop me >:) lol
@@ShawnzeyRacing I will help you by voting for Trump , i mean Dems want electric cars , f them
I'd consider doing an electric swap but I do love my combustion engines 😎
But having the choice is important
@@ShawnzeyRacing Exactly they want to abolish gas powered cars
