EP. 14 My BMW E30 Restoration - Complete Underseal Application Process
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Hi and welcome to my channel. In this video I will be going through the complete process of underseaing my e30 touring.
After nearly to years of underside repairs I finally got to the stage to underseal the car. It started with a 2k epoxy primer base on the bare metal, seam sealer, underseal and paint. This process was completed in a mere two days but that seeed far-fetched when we first started the process.
A huge thanks to my friend Ant Rowling for helping me throughout this process, you can check out his current project and show car here: ant_rowling?igs...

Huge respect for all of the efforts you have gone to in order to protect your E30 going forward. Thankfully I live in So Cal where the majority of our cars are not subjected to the rust-inducing elements you and your friends live with in your area of the world.
Thanks man. Yes unfortunately our UK cars take a real beating, especially during the winter months. I’m sure my car won’t be out on the road in bad weather now!
@@BadE30 Indeed. As a comparison, my own 12/87 build E30 325iC has 177k milees on the clock with nary a sign of the rust monster. We should all be so fortunate ;)
Outstanding, looks brilliant and all these modern coatings will make it better protected than factory. These videos are always worth the wait, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Thanks James. Very happy with how it came out!!
Oh man that is outstanding!
Appreciate it!
I just discovered the channel and I‘m thrilled. Restoration with passion and thanks for sharing.
Great to hear man! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
A super satisfying watch, great result! The grey underseal in the cartridge looks like interesting stuff, not far off OE textured finish either. Weird the way it spits onto the panel though. I bet you were sick of the sound of your compressor by the end. 😆
Thanks man. You can also get it in a beige which is a close match for the colour if you don’t plan on spraying over it!
That poor compressor is having a rest and an service when I get chance, it took a battering!
So satisfying to watch this! Randomly stumbled upon your video thanks to the YT algorithm haha. Awesome job!!! 🎉
Thanks dude!!
awsome finish! looking forward to the rest
Not long now, should be back on the floor by next week!
mate. That is …..stunning...… I'm currently refreshing the underside of my Z3 (which is half E30 half E36) and I was on my Z3 forum perplexed as to how you can spray sealant from a tube.... and you solved the mystery !... apparently an alternative is to brush it on and stipple with a sponge..... but that looks epic....
The gun application is great! A bit pricey for the gun itself.. Good luck with your z3!
@@BadE30 cheers mate.. I'm also using POR15 Metal Prep but with Hammerite Red oxide and Hammerite Smooth...
Huge job, and it turned out great!
Thanks man!
Dude that thing is going to be THE creme de la creme E30 when finished. I really appreciate the love u r putting in. Looking forward to the next video!
Big thanks man!! More to come soon, currently getting the inside of the car cleaned up ready for paint, soundproofing etc
@@BadE30Happy to hear that man. Any ideas about cosmetics speaking of Wheels etc. ?
@@doom1961 going for some 15”x8/9J with a real chunky tyre setup. I’ve seen 245/40’s fit but i think that may be a bit too much.. other than that; IS front lip, SE side skirts and a very rare mtech 2 rear spoiler!
@@BadE30keeping it tasteful i like it hahah
Awesome job mate
Thanks man!!
Just stumbled across your channel…. Well done gents it looks excellent! Gotta binge watch all your previous vids now 😂
Nice to see another small channel like my own, as you are still relatable to the average person 👍👍
Haha cool as! Thanks man
Patience of a saint using that underseal gun having to spray in such a small pattern
To get to this stage in a car restoration you have to be quite a patient person.. Nothing on this project can be rushed!
You make a perfect job. Congratulation from austria. 🇦🇹
Appreciate it!
Nice job,artist
Thank you!
Good work!
Thanks😎
Cracking work lads, I did my first underside laid on my back while the car was on axle stands what a ball ache that was lol
Cheers Richard, I couldn’t imagine doing it on the floor! Props to you for that
Macht alles einen guten Eindruck. Ich bin auf das Endergebnis gespannt.
Thank you very much! More to come soon
Very nice!
Thanks!
Great JOB ! RESPEKT !
Thank you!
Дружище,проделана просто отличная работа!!!!!!!!!!! Восхищаюсь тобой!!!
Thank you!
future classic

Your rollover jig is a work of art, as is the rest of this project 😂
I made it myself, mostly by eye until it looked right!
@@BadE30 outstanding man, never seen the bearings incorporated, makes it float by the looks of you rotating it, serious quality build 👌🏼😎
therapeutic to watch this video, looking forward to the end product, I had a lend of one of them cars years back and it was a great car, The only negative it didn't have A/C, does yours or are you retrofitting A/C, someone makes a kit for them driven by the serpentine belt as the car I had borrowed eventually had it fitted, this was back in 1980s,
Glad you enjoyed it! I won’t be needing A/C with the car being the the UK! Would only be needed a couple times a year. But yes I have seen that kit😎
I really like how you matched your undercoat colour to your fence panels.
Haha! They’re my neighbours, he must of given me the idea.. hope it’s not the overspray 😂
Amazing work - Ive been following yourself and Ants builds for a while now - I'm at a similar stage with mine. Many years stripping and repairing the underside. Just epoxy primed it and had planned to over paint in hammerite 🙈 Figured the colours only for vanity, but after watching the extra underseal (and effort) you've gone to, seems worth going that extra! What size compressor did you use? I'll need to buy one as it's all been hand paint till this point 👀
Great work man!! It’s not a quick process!!
Mines a 100ltr and it was able to keep up with the spraying all day, I do feel quite bad for it though. Needs a service for sure now
Nice job. Does the finish paint have to be applied while the undersealnis tacky, or could it be applied just as well at a later date ?
Thanks, yeh man it’s a wet on wet application. I’m sure it doesn’t adhere well if cured
What size compressor did you use for this?
Was that a 2k satin paint you used or just straight base coat?
2k satin dude, went with a RAL colour as close as possible to laguna green
It is amazing! What type of gun did u use, name of the gun?
It’s the specific gun for the CE Chem sealer, you can find it on their website!
Stunning work. It’s come a long way. One thing I would have added and am suggesting you do is to spray cavity wax inside all the frame rails. Just an added layer of protection for longevity of the underside. Good work nonetheless!
Thanks man! This is on my list, but once the interior is painted and a few other bits are done. However, a good reminder as I do have so much going on at times!
That's some restoration porn! 😂
Great job, keep it up!
Haha😎😎
Hi what type of paint u use at the end
Just simple RAL 2k paint
Did you make that rotisserie thing or buy it?
Home made dude. I wasn’t happy with the ready made ones, not sturdy enough for me!
@@BadE30 ah fair play man looks well. Any tutorial videos on how to build it coming soon? Haha
Do you mind if we share a link to your video? Thanks. Chris Ce Chem Limited
Hi, feel free to! Thanks
with this kind of work quality, I don;t mind to have you restore my car. I am in Malaysia.
Thanks!
