    I bought a wrecked BMW M3 G80 Competition after it had been crashed into a house. The car has unregistered damaged but if the insurance were to inspect this car then for sure it would be declared a complete write off. But im determined to prove them wrong and fix this M3 safely & under budget.
    Thanks so much to ‪@jackbuildsit‬ for the help with this build! We couldnt of done it without him!

      Watch out for Carly!!! No reminder about renewal of subscription, email address in Terms and Conditions which doesn't work, no information on invoice about the annual payment, automatic renewal price is way higher than the one on the invoice. Also there are much better apps that support BMW available on adroid for much lower price. I do not recommend Carly after one year of using it.

      Personally I'd have just replaced the entire side of the car instead or a cut n shunt. So there would be no breaks and would probably be stronger.

    Honestly so amazing to see all this craftsmanship. It is so hard to cut out exactly enough, let alone stand cut out panels from another car EXACTLY right so it fits. And then welding everything nicely. Work it out so you don’t see it after paint alone is hard enough already. Not to even mention how hard it is to keep overview in what has been cut away and needs to come back. The skills are through the roof.

    • @frodej6640
      @frodej6640 6 месяцев назад

      Yes. It is a short range radar. There is one on each corner. The front one is part of the adaptive cruise control. On the highway the cruise control do know of cars next to you, and track them if they merge into your lane. My 2020 bmw shows the cars around me in the dash board, but because of the hud I never look there. So I do not remember if it tracks cars on the rear sensor.

    I am sure someone else has mentioned this in the comments but here I go just in case not....where the 1/4 panel meets the other parts I would normally put a sleeve behind the joint. Just a small piece maybe an inch wide will work well. When making the mark on the roof rail and rocker panel, these pieces can be trimmed to use as the backer part. This allows you to have some wiggle room where they come together and lets you weld without worry of melting the thin sheet metal. If you are really experienced with welding sheet metal it isn't required but I always found it helpful. It only takes a few minutes to prep the sleeve and tack it into place. Other than that I think you guys did a really good job, especially for someone who has never done this before. It is great to have someone like Jack to guide you. This is going to be a really sweet deal when you are complete.

      Great idea. We do it with so many other welding projects. Why not bodywork as well. Cool :)

WELL DONE Mat! cant wait for the next Vid, cheers what about the *AWM39V* thing you in it?

    Self piercing rivets not spot welds , when you put a new quarter panel on you get plates that you glue behind the butt joints on the C pillar and the sill, you do NOT weld the gaps you just fill them , that is the Thatcham and BMW methods .Ive fitted quite a few of these over the years. I even know of a story where someone took their car to be serviced BMW picked up the car wasnt repaired correctly and the preverbial hit the fan and the company that repaired it ended up buying the car

      @gkit01 6 месяцев назад +2

      I was thinking exactly the same thing, BMW are bond and rivet. Only snag is, I'm pretty sure he's not BSI approved so technically doesn't have to follow any repair methods 🤔.

    Quick welding tip if I may…. Use your left hand to support the neck of the gun and rest against the body, almost like you would with a snooker rest. It’ll give you total control of the weld as you squeeze the trigger as opposed to holding the gun with both hands and having it waving about 👌🏻
