    That shot of the E36 hood with you pushing the cart across, just beautiful work. Love how this channel is balancing straight detailing with more restoration and mechanical stuff now. Keep it up, can’t wait to see what’s next!

    I must say that is sometimes good to not have a car, space and tools like you have, my ocd would made me go nuts with stuff like this. I think I would have ended up with a completly chromed or candypanted and glittery gearbox. You did a wonderful job ,just as it should be.

    Man, you started out with a really clean transmission! Every time I get a trans to clean, you can't see any of the silver bits, it's usually caked in half an inch of grime/oil/dirt.

    Hey man so I’ve got an 86 325es with the Getrag 260 (260.9.12 something) and I have to do the early to late model shifter swap, do you happen to know the part number or what year/model e30s have the 260? I need the shifter arm and I gotta find one that comes from any e30 with a 260 just not sure what years/sub model to look up since it won’t come up for my year/vin since it’s got the plate shifter

  • @jaaphoogendijk671
    @jaaphoogendijk671 2 года назад

    Long time ago that I commented, because repeating that i LOVE your videos does not add much I guess.
    However, this time, I was wondering: have you ever considered a sand-blasting chamber? A medium-sized one would suffice for transmission, brake parts and rims. It is so useful to have for paint prep work. That being said, I have no clue what it costs, both the chamber and the samd-blasting media, but I am just curious.
