Good Evening Josh. You are looking very Well and I always Enjoy watching your Finest detailed Fabrication of repairing parts of the Project that you are doing Work or just Tidying up the Body work. Trying to Treat the area's of Rust and Metal Decay. You use your Incredible and Highly Skilled Inginuity that you have Gained lots of Excellent Knowledge of Josh. Your step-by-step vehicle Restoration is absolutely Excellent. Top Class Golden Workmanship. I really Love your Attitude and you have this Superb Can Do This Attitude Josh. I am really Proud of what you have become now Josh. I Salute You my Friend. Big Respect to You. Jonathan/ Peterborough.
Nice repair Josh. As others are saying, I've had to do the exact same repair on my 535i. At the time I did it, I was attending an evening course for car restoration at Bolton College. I did three of them, they were really good, and gave you access to some nice bits of tooling. So with the aid of a fly press and some 3mm steel plate, I re-created the strengthening plates that mate up with the factory jack supplied with the car.
Just came across your channel. Taking into mind what you are dealing with the repair is 1st class and has added another 10 years on the road to a car that Had a 1 way ticket to a scrap yard. Good work.
Hi Josh, I like the way you take the time to show us the full indepth procedure of what really goes into these seemingly small jobs, but as you point out, they are time consuming and expensive to get right. Every days a learning day, well done Josh.
Great fabrication again josh going to be the makings of a good car aye ......👍 Looking forward to seeing more in depth how you repair the structure of each car ...stay cool 😎
I know its a pain, but you got to just grit your teeth and crack on, concentrate on area by area. But in the end its worth it, just so satisfying seeing the work you've done once it's finished
Fascinating watching you work Josh, methodical, skilled and professional. I was really impressed with the repair and fabrication at the rear and the front was just as good. I'd be extremely happy with the standard of repair if it was my e34. Even though most of your efforts will be hidden by the plastic sill cover, it's the satisfaction that the car now has extended life and the job has been done properly and there'd be no qualms about jacking it up at those points. New project, Merc 190e perhaps or are we sticking with beemers, if so an E21? Thanks for making all the content, all the time spent filming, editing, uploading etc.👍😎
Coming from someone like me who can't weld but would love to have the knowledge I really enjoy your welding you make it look so easy great metal work josh as always
Really enjoyed that one, very well put together vid, easy on the eye. Maybe its your editing but it seems like you're faster to a good solution and faster implementing it... looks more slick. Feels like you're almost enjoying that type of work 🤔. Great stuff,, thanks for making it.
When the time came to sell my E34 M5 the buyer wanted me to take pics of the jack points underneath. Had no idea that was a common problem area but, luckily, mine had little to no corrosion there. Also sold my E34 Touring with M pieces and E36 S52 M3 engine & auto. Had that car 14 years and loved it. Nice job showing the repair process. That's exactly how I would have done it. ;-)
You always do a brilliant job. I cannot help but think an air chisel will make your life so much easier they have different changeable ends your be amazed how good they are. At least I think there great although I don’t quite do the same work as you.
I’ve use them in the past, sometimes they’re just a little aggressive for what i need and can damage stuff, me holding the hammer i can regulate the force hahab
Mate, you’re doing a great job! I love old Beemers and I love what you do, they’ll always be the rivet counters that turn their nose up, but honestly, you are doing a great job. So much so, I’m considering offering an old gentleman in the village a fair offer for his E34 that sits with rotten rear arches, if you fancy it😂
That’s a near perfect repair mate, looks OEM, even the inner jacking point. Let’s be honest, it’s better than most can do and is a proper job either way. Love the old BMW content, and look forward to you to starting on your E24.
Don’t under self yourself buddy. Welding to any sort of acceptable standard is b*****d hard!!! I’d be well happy if my attempts in the past came out half as good as what you’ve just done 👍 Looking forward to the next install…….
I’m glad you think so Matt! changed up the style recently, had a good response! E34 is the chassis code! bmws all start with E, not sure why! e24 e23 e12 e34 e36 e46 Etc!
nowt wrong with that repair, like you say you try and get a bit better every time , would love to see more videos on the E34 been fully repaired , running mot,d back on the road
So, are you going to do a summary vid summarising the number of hours, parts used etc ? I'm thinking it would help people make the choice of sell / scrap or if they would actually buy one in the first place!
I'm going to try a keep a straight face and say your new project will be a Range Rover and you will drop it onto the rails :laughing: Also, 518i manuals are geared quite well.
6 out of 10 is a bit hard in yourself Josh. This was more than sufficient for where it is on the car. Its structurally sound, you cant chase perfection in a place youll never see. Maybe if it was your car and this was a hobby, but you're running a business 👍
Dude josh really after 42 years of my experience if you had more time on it then yeah it's 6 but hold up a minute it's a supporting mount which top class repair structural mind you and it's not at all gone up to a 9.9 for me mate
@Joshwaa___ better than all my labours ever!!! but I am a perfectionist so yeah you can come and work with me ,monthly pay is £love,definitely passed the test 🤣🤣 everyone has a secret love for a old bmw they say na but really it's everyone's dad car well it is now great content
@@Joshwaa___ Doing a car for a customer i certainly make the effort but when doing my flip cars for example a shitty C3 i had booked in for M.O.T and then discovered the sills were rotten because i did a Stevie Wonder inspection on it when i bought it , well thats getting a one hour over lapped sill on it and smoothed out with some fibre filler, it was already scrap when it left the factory.
The way youre dismantling it suggests that you would have been better scrapping it. jesus the way you removed the wipers. ffs man. There was a reference point for the front jacking point before you removed it. There are panels available for jacking point replacement.

@@jonathanbowles2577 Thanks Jonathan! You’re the best!
Great vid Josh! more like this please!
Had to do the same repair on my e34, proper pain in the ass! Good job!
@@DinosaurGarageOG Thankyou! i’ll do my best!
Put it this way fella, your doing something right, really enjoying it. If you keep on being you, you'll do good.
Much appreciated Jimmy 👍

Really good to watch the complicated repairs on this car 👌
Glad you liked it!

Thanks William!! appreciate the comment

Glad it was helpful! A lot of people don’t have any idea! it’s arguably the same reason why paint costs so much too.
I wiuld be super happy if my repairs looked that good! Love watching them and picking up tips along the way.
Glad you like them! 😎
As a fellow fabber, bravo! Excellent work on the inner jacking plate
You do put yrself down alot I could watch you for hours. Your work and attention to detail amazes me. Keep doing what you do legend in my eyes ❤
Thank you! I’m just honest 🤣🤣
Great fabrication again josh going to be the makings of a good car aye ......👍 Looking forward to seeing more in depth how you repair the structure of each car ...stay cool 😎
Thanks! glad you enjoy!
Great job josh don't sell yourself short seen some shocking repairs over the years keep up good content
Thanks Alan! 👌🏽
Nice work man another quality repair 💯👌 thats not average
Thanks 👍 appreciated
Nice repair! Enjoy these videos, I find them relaxing 😅
Haha i like making sure the noises are in there. i love it when i add the x10 speed to the hammering 🤣
I agree, me too!
I know its a pain, but you got to just grit your teeth and crack on, concentrate on area by area. But in the end its worth it, just so satisfying seeing the work you've done once it's finished
For sure! have to take these things in small stages for sure!
I can see you have gotten better with each repair. Crack on
Thanks mate 😎

Thankyou! appreciate that! none of the guesses are entirely correct 😎😂
Great work Josh and keep these old BMW's on the road 👍😎
Thanks! Will do!
Loving the fabrication work. Never skip on filming this when you do it. It's great to watch and rather informative even when sped up.
Thanks, will do!
Good work. As a rusty bmw buyer I really enjoy these videos!
Glad you like them!
Coming from someone like me who can't weld but would love to have the knowledge I really enjoy your welding you make it look so easy great metal work josh as always
Haha thankyou! guess give it a go and see!
Really enjoyed that one, very well put together vid, easy on the eye. Maybe its your editing but it seems like you're faster to a good solution and faster implementing it... looks more slick. Feels like you're almost enjoying that type of work 🤔. Great stuff,, thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it! i switched up the style of the videos and seems to be a good response !

E34 M5 great car! Should have kept it! Got any more BMWS?
@@Joshwaa___ No more E34's ;-)
Brilliant work , enjoyed watching how its done properly.. skills !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I would be well chuffed with that repair if it was mine , top job as usual 😀
thanks 🙏
You always do a brilliant job.
I cannot help but think an air chisel will make your life so much easier they have different changeable ends your be amazed how good they are.
At least I think there great although I don’t quite do the same work as you.
I’ve use them in the past, sometimes they’re just a little aggressive for what i need and can damage stuff, me holding the hammer i can regulate the force hahab
Great work Josh, this video is awesome, keep it up 👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks mate! legend!
Mate, you’re doing a great job! I love old Beemers and I love what you do, they’ll always be the rivet counters that turn their nose up, but honestly, you are doing a great job. So much so, I’m considering offering an old gentleman in the village a fair offer for his E34 that sits with rotten rear arches, if you fancy it😂
Thankyou appreciate it!! try it 😂😂
Stop being so hard on yourself!! Think the work is great!! Really enjoyed the video and love that car!
I appreciate that! thankyou!
That’s a near perfect repair mate, looks OEM, even the inner jacking point. Let’s be honest, it’s better than most can do and is a proper job either way. Love the old BMW content, and look forward to you to starting on your E24.
Thankyou! appreciate them kind words! i do try!
Nice to see a car saved by a skilled craftsman, not many people like taking on welding and fabrication these days !!
Thanks a lot! just doing my bit!
The videos on the E34 have been very good, glad the views are climbing again!
Glad you like them! Me too haha
Love the content love the work your doing mate 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Glad you enjoy it!
That’s some serious talent ❤. It might not be OEM but it looks good and strong🎉
Thanks 😎
Nice to see good cars getting repaired properly
Thankyou Alex!
Don’t under self yourself buddy. Welding to any sort of acceptable standard is b*****d hard!!! I’d be well happy if my attempts in the past came out half as good as what you’ve just done 👍
Looking forward to the next install…….
Thanks 👍 stay tuned!
That looked tough! And very frustrating! Well done ✅ I love e34s, unfortunately this is happening to them
@@flyingbananatree5661 very frustrating, but all done now 😎
Cracking work 👏 definitely more than a 6/10 😎
Wow, thanks!
Some E30 maybe? I love the E34 content - i think that repair is atleast a 8/10, well done!
negative! More e34 content to come stay tuned, thanks!
Keep up the great vids, I'm going to guess it's a classic mini 🙏
Negative!
Good evening Josh, really watchable and fun video. Keep up with the amazing editing. E34 does the E stand for Edition?
I’m glad you think so Matt! changed up the style recently, had a good response!
E34 is the chassis code! bmws all start with E, not sure why!
e24 e23 e12 e34 e36 e46 Etc!
Well done mate you’re doing a great job
thanks!!
No such thing as a scrap'er when a man with your skills about pal labour intensive but worth the smiles in the end lad
Thanks Brian!
It's future thanks you for giving it new skin!!! Thanks for the continued content for the touring.. after body work what's next? Engine swap?
just getting it road worthy!
Quality repair. 👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
Not bad, not terrible, not great 😂 11:49
🤣
Awesome work. Don't agree this isn't desirable, I think this model is awesome, perhaps deserves an engine swap though. Love an old wagon.
I agree with you, engine swap then it would be much better
Having done jacking points on my e34 I must say your one was not as bad as mine and you have done a very good job there.
ahh thanks Colin!
Your work is so good 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nioce, volume levels on point 😉😅
Fixed 😂
@Joshwaa___ My ears said to say thanks lol
nowt wrong with that repair, like you say you try and get a bit better every time , would love to see more videos on the E34 been fully repaired , running mot,d back on the road
Thanks Mark!
So, are you going to do a summary vid summarising the number of hours, parts used etc ? I'm thinking it would help people make the choice of sell / scrap or if they would actually buy one in the first place!
Potentially! i can round things up!
First class as always Josh!
Glad you think so!
Nice work dude
Thanks! Appreciate it
This is going to cost lewdeak one million pounds
Definitely. might x10 it for the sake of it
Have you done a lot of e30 floor boards and battery trays in your past
Never! all the same really !
looks good and will save the car well done again cheers steve
Cheers Steve!
If you went old school with oxy/Da you could use the heat to manipulate the metal to fit
Great job 👍
👌🏽👌🏽
God the E34 touring is one of the most beautiful cars ever produced
You recon!
Very impressive work.
Thank you very much!
That's a great job done there!
Cheers pal 😎
Nice job Josh😅
thankyou!
Dreadful rust heap and shame about the 4-cyl, but that E34 Touring is a good-looking car. I like that colour too. Is it Malachite Green?
engine swap would be good! i have no idea on colour !
I'm going to try a keep a straight face and say your new project will be a Range Rover and you will drop it onto the rails :laughing:
Also, 518i manuals are geared quite well.
Pahahah, fortunately enough i don’t have the need for a ranger rover haha
SKILLZ
YOU RECON
i have an e34 that needs this type of rust repair. I know it's alot of work but needs to be done. only thing is i dont own a car lift :/
Me too. All the same places. Seems to be weak spots on the otherwise superb e34.
i couldn’t work on the floor anymore!
What great car. I love it
It really is!
6 out of 10 is a bit hard in yourself Josh. This was more than sufficient for where it is on the car. Its structurally sound, you cant chase perfection in a place youll never see. Maybe if it was your car and this was a hobby, but you're running a business 👍
Thanks mate! appreciate it!
How’s long did it take you to do that repair?
about a day!
Did you buy a Evo Pajero or that Escort maybe?
i wish
I think you bought a tractor from the farm the your workshop is on...worlds first bagged tractor? 😂
pfft🤣 nah uh
Nice work with just a hammer and an angle grinder 👍
Basic tools!
When you call that an E firty four I think you mean an E thirty four .😂
🤣🤣 fuuuurty
Being a bit of a welder and fabricator myself i think you are being a bit hard on yourself. Thats a defo 8 minimum if not more 👌🏾
Ahh thankyou! just being honest!!
I reckon... Celica Supra. Automatic.
I wish!
Dude josh really after 42 years of my experience if you had more time on it then yeah it's 6 but hold up a minute it's a supporting mount which top class repair structural mind you and it's not at all gone up to a 9.9 for me mate
So is it good or bad 😂

I hate welding and doing intricate repairs, i just don't have the patience to go to that much trouble and veer into 'bodge territory'.
I try simplify stuff if i can, sometimes unavoidable lol, and just have to make patience 🤣
@@Joshwaa___ Doing a car for a customer i certainly make the effort but when doing my flip cars for example a shitty C3 i had booked in for M.O.T and then discovered the sills were rotten because i did a Stevie Wonder inspection on it when i bought it , well thats getting a one hour over lapped sill on it and smoothed out with some fibre filler, it was already scrap when it left the factory.

no way!
Feel the same without a haircut 🤣

Negative!
Okay I guess it's another beamer
How did you guess 🤣😎
@Joshwaa___ I had a slight feeling when u said "if you like this video you... 🤣
😂😂😂
E30 m3 maybe
Do you think i’ve won the lottery 🤣
The way youre dismantling it suggests that you would have been better scrapping it. jesus the way you removed the wipers. ffs man. There was a reference point for the front jacking point before you removed it. There are panels available for jacking point replacement.
okay lol
One essential tip though, fuck off that etch primer and use epoxy primer only!! etch is still purous epoxy isn't
Thanks for the comments! i was looking to switch it up actually, what do you suggest?
