  • What a journey this has been. In this episode we finally get Roger (Auto Alex's Classic BMW E30 Touring) Painted and fully complete! What a restoration journey indeed! It's a bitter sweet moment as me and Roger have spend a lot of time together, but on the flip side, Roger now is better than brand new, fully restored and is ready for the road once more!
    We took Roger to Shed Fest 2024 & handed over the keys back to Alex. We also met some amazing people and had a fantastic day. Its like the end of an era.
    We will have another episode of this car, showcasing the entire restoration from start to finish. But for now, if you have enjoyed the journey and the video, please consider hitting that like and subscribe button. And as always, we will catch you in the next one!

    Awesome work, my one gripe as a BMW mechanic would be the rear designation numbers aren’t quite right and once you see it, it’s something that stands out. BMW is very particular with the placement and we have detailed measurements for every model.

    I know you guys know your job better than I do however sanding where you paint can’t be the best of ideas for paint quality and imperfections and trash lodging in the paint. That all said the wet sanding gets it mint either way. Awesome work boys

    • @iandonkin6762
      @iandonkin6762 27 днів тому +1

      Nor is masking around door locks, painting over trim clips, leaving the glass in, masking around the rear number plate area even(!) and lots of other details in this paint job… it’s okay if it’s been done as a bargain basement resto, but it’s meant to represent the peak of quality however…
      That’s not to detract from the effort that’s clearly been put into this by the way!

    • @StefanLazea
      @StefanLazea 27 днів тому +1

      yes, you can see that there is a lot of trash in the paint. The welding part is what they are best for, they need major improvement on how they do things. But with time I think they will manage to improve that.

    It's been an absolute pleasure watching the car being restored to it's former glory, and with Colin Furze's E3 also being restored at the same time fun to compare which car was more rusty, (it was Colin's).
    Looking forward to seeing the worlds most famous Mazda Mx-5 getting restored.

    How come you guys used a 2k solid instead of the traditional 2 stage paint basecoats nowadays. I know it's cheaper but surely it'll just fade again after awhile as it doesn't have strong UV protection. Guessing it was for time reason but still a good paint job though. Unfortunately I missed this at shedfest :(
