the E28 is such a pretty colour, by far my favourite car on the channel!
Replace the steel brake lines for copper lines, they will never rust again!
i think TUV dont like them..
@@nextzz2583 I guess only for the more modern cars equipped with ABS due to considerably higher pressure in the lines, comparing to older cars. As far as I know it started with manufacturer technical note for Fiat Stilo which explicitly forbidded using copper brake lines due to possible tear caused by high pressure and followed by that, TUV technicians has started to give negatives for ABS equipped cars with copper brake lines. Of course it is worth to check what are the regulations regarding this in Belgium, but from technical point of view I doubt if this is a problem for e28.
Mine rusted through so made new ones from nickel copper and I also replaced my fuel lines. I have the same issue with my subframe mounting points. Unfortunately both sides have cracks and holes in spots so I'm nervous on how I'm going to fix them lol. Great video
@@nextzz2583 you can always use heat shrink tubes to cover copper lines. Thats what we do. It also looks more eyepleasing overtime. Because copper lines tend to get green over time. heat shrink tubes prevent that. #ProTips
I''ve changed for cooper lines and used 'Schrumpfschlauch' (check on ebay ;-))
Awesome job Memphis. We all learn with you. It’s official, I’m now addicted to your channel 😎
This ride is looking better than ever, I can’t even imagine how happy you are working on your own lift. I bet it makes a whole world of difference. The before and after is mad!
Such an awesome Job! Really nice to see that there are still people restoring older cars and giving them some love. The Car must be so happy being in your hands :D
Fastest reaction ever, when clicking on video😀💪
Some great work on this car, I'm sure the work you have done will keep it running for another 35 years. I've really enjoyed following it, well done..
Just FYI please be aware you must be careful with polyurethane rear trailing arm bushes as they do not allow the lateral movement that is required of the arm through suspension travel. I know people who have fitted these which has resulted in badly damaged bushes, failure of overstressed pitman arm links and have even bent the tabs that the trailing arms mount to on the subframe. I purposely stayed with OEM rear trailing arm bushes on my E34, but I did use the yellow subframe mounts.
Not only Belgium people know why you painted the bushes. 😉 Germans knowing too 😅😂
they can still fail u on suspention tests here for bushing's 🙃
Inderdaad ze houden er nie van op de controle 🤐🤐
I dont get why they would fail you for it? It is better with new fresh sport bushings than old crusty origianal bushings? I thougt Norway was strict on car inspection but Belgium is even worse I guess lol
@@Pinni3 jhaa ern als ze u af keure is het heel de driehoek wissele vaak
You can fail the TÜV for poly bushes?
The welding part as come a long way, the skill as improved a lot!
My respect for your humility in doing that sort of restauration ! Keep going, your videos are great !
This was very satisfying to watch and you do excellent work with the tools and space that you have.
It looks so clean. 😱 thanks Memphis!
Nice job! really enjoying the series. Thanks for sharing.
The cheapest way to replace brake lines is to bend them around a socket wrench. I did just that and didn't kink them once. It is also easier if you buy the correct length from the beginning, with the nipples already installed. Saves a bunch of time and makes it easier! Great Video!
Great Job, good on power flex for helping out 👍
You're doing this Bavarian masterpiece justice, Memphis! Hope you get the brake lines figured out so that we can finally see this baby rolling!
amazing stuff man, you helped me find my love for old nuggets again. In last few years i only worked on cars when i had to, but your content really sparked my love for cars again. Watched all your episodes in 3 days lol. All the best!
Love your channel man, you have some amazing cars and cant wait for the new project coming soon!
Amazing job and really great channel!
But that rusty bolts @ 12:03
Great detailed work and information
I love it if you have to weld the rust spot and you seem like a dentist with patching up and then putting the zinc on.
Beautiful job. Merry Christmas Memphis
Great progress on the E28 today mate 😎
Damn, when i subbed you had 8k subscribers! The growth is real
Awesome work on restoring the suspension.
Thumbs up
I just subscribed from Australia. Proud owner of an E28 525e. Great videos 👌
Good job and great videos. Love watching your channel.
Awesome well done, looks great
Good job boys. 5 series is progressing nicely. Keep up the good work.
Amazing welding and patchwork.
Great work very nice result!
Pretty awesome stuff dude, kudos!
absolut awesome work!
Excellent job mate!
Awesome job done on old bmw 👍👍👍
Glad to see this car progressing along, I'm hoping once New York thaws out I can do the same thing on my 1986 535is
You have been warned by the Polish man in the comments section about those leaks - unfortnately you did not listen. Greeteings from Poland! Splendid job on this subframe anyway :)
Can't wait for the E28 to be finish. I have something to look forward to for 2021 😂😂.
Great video @Memphis
You are a very talented young man. Excellent work on the E28, its my fav car. Keep up the great work!!!
Great video my friend.this e28 is the reason for my subscription. Hope you enjoy it and post more videos with this beauty. Wish you all the best!
Subscribed! Iove your work
Great job done ... loved the video ... well done again 👍👍👍😀
as you have all the underbody clear of equipment, didnt you want to undercoat it completly? this could be beneficial for the bimmer :) never the less good job !
I don't know what you're feelings towards Volvo's are, but I'd love to see you work on one someday. Keep up the awesome work man!
Loved my 440...wish i never sold it.
@@dodekeuk7053 I wish we got the European exclusive Volvo's in North America. I'd love a 480
@@dodekeuk7053 those aren't anywhere as fun as rwd ones
@@stuvademakaroner9607 thats what you think... the nose was super... any rain and some hand brake skills and you were good to go...!! :)
Your wish is my command
Love the content, keep it up. The easiest solution for the brake lines is to replace the steel ones with copper. Bending them is pretty straight forward.
Keep up the good work. 👍
When I do brake lines I use what we call Kunifer line here in the UK. Its a copper nickel alloy. It's more corrosion resistant and stronger than the copper alloy and easier to work with than steel line. I hate doing brake lines - but you might as well replace the lot. I'm surprised it has any original lines at that age.
Got mine made up by automec in UK but to lengths I requested, the bmw parts info does actually give the lengths needed.
Good work keep it up 👍
Great job!
Good job!
Happy New Year, Memphis)))
Great video as always Memphis, a shame about the brake line but you'll get it sorted. You and Tibo did a fantastic job 👍👍
As always great video, enjoying your projects and I admire your skills! Best of luck and Merry Xmas!
Very good Work cool Video
Nice work on the E28!
Great job! But as a pice of advice, next time when you have heavy pieces to install underneth the car, get a bench with the part under the install position and use the lift to lower the car on it. Saves your back 😁
For the head of your bolts use your blow torch, heat head of bolt till its red hot then dip in old engine oil.
At least I would recommend to use on every clip for the lines some grease or Wax, like Mike Sanders, fluid film or similar to protect them any further.
Fluid film or oil the underbody of the car every year and rust doesn't have a chance. I wish this was more widely accepted.
Heb zelf ook een e28 die ik binnenkort wil gaan restaureren, krijg een beetje motivatie elke keer dat er een nieuwe video online staat.
Hey, je kan met je oude remleiding na een autogarage toe en daar maken ze een nieuwe van koper! super makkelijk en goedkoop!
nice work
To remove rust from nuts and bolts you could try soaking them in vinegar. Also, new ones are usually not too expensive to buy from BMW.
Happy Christmas 🎄 Memphis 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Love the vids, i want to do a full restoration on a car myself one day, but for now, i have your videos to watch
Nice work. My rule of thumb is ‘if I can see it, and it looks odd, replace it if I can’ as in future I may not have access to a ramp or the time.
Zdzichu Kowadło Knows the best. Despite all problems which you are having i like your honesty. Great job. everybody learn on mistakes:) Well done
Netjes gedaan ziet er goed uit ✅👌👍Een prachtig kerstfeest 🎄🎄Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼👋🏼
Du hast perfekte Arbeit geleistet. * * * * * !
I can't get it: people watch stupid gangnam 4 bln times but this only 40k. Memphis: best series ever!
Best tool in the shop? The hydraulic lift. It’s a lot of work and is looking good.
Having a Lotus Biscoff and coffee while watching car restoration in Belgium. Hope the brake line replacement goes well.
Please Santa, can I have a power lift for Christmas.... love the content, Edd China would be proud!!
Hey Memphis, chique werkplaats gemaakt man! Veel succes met het vervangen van de rem- en benzinelijnen. Groeten uit Lint.
Eindelijk zie ik eens een bak stella ipv jupiler 😍
Nice vid keep IT up
Nice Vid.
Happy Christmas to your, your family and friends - Halleluja :)
The Belgium mensen weten heel goed waarom het beter niet zichtbaar is 😉 hopelijk kijken ze van de keuring niet mee 🙊🙉🙈 leuke projecten, doe zo verder 👍
Same in Germany lmao
10:20 something hidden, looks like a car maybe 👀
ikr that's what I thought😂
I had those same Powerflex bushings. Changed back to rubber-too noisy for me! Hopefully you will have a better experience.
I found poly bushes a disaster for rear subframe, used heavy duty melye ones in end, the poly bushes that made a big improvement were the ones in the front upper suspension arms, original ones don't last long before vibration on braking can happen in my experience on my e28s I've had.
Bardzo dobra robota 👍
I bought it last week audi 80 b3 1990 1.6 diesel in very good condition without corrosion I just have to make some adjustments in the bosch pump because sometimes it emits smoke i like your videos for old cars respect from republic kosovo🇽🇰🇩🇪👍
You can get a bending tool for the new break lines and fuel lines
I think you have done better than BMW at the subframe mounts. Even if I am not from Belgium I still understand why you painted the bushings, this is Euroe and you can't do nothing about it. Great videos and content, love it. Greetings from Romania
Memphis, you don’t necessarily need a kit for bending brake lines, just move along with the old line and cut at the end
We're also replacing all screws with kalvenised ones. The only cost 125€.
My friend, Brunox is not the best option to choose from, I would suggest something else: APP R-Stop (been watching comparison on YT a while back and APP works much better and protects as should). I also used it on my own VAN - Camper conversion (while working on some metal parts - underside)
Great work, you are a legend 👏, can't wait to see the new car
good job
Nice man, viel nog redelijk mee precies dacht dat het ingewikkelder ik mekaar zat
Prachtige video met een prachtig resultaat! De wagen ziet er weer als nieuw uit voor veel veilige kilometers in de toekomst ! Je had deze keer ook erg mooie muziek bij deze video ! Rest misschien toch ooit eens de deur in de goeie kleur ( zeur zeur zeur ik weet het) maar het zou de auto en al het werk wat jullie er in gestoken gewoon goed doen ! Rest mij jou en je team een fijne Kerstdagen toe te wensen en een Voorspoedig en Gezond 2021 ! Tot de volgende video !
Mine rusted through so made new ones from nickel copper and I also replaced my fuel lines. I have the same issue with my subframe mounting points. Unfortunately both sides have cracks and holes in spots so I'm nervous on how I'm going to fix them lol. Great video
Not only belgian people understand why you painted the bushings, we over here in germany know very well why you did haha
Yeah!
nice use of EDM trance
A beautiful job, well done. I will bring my 2006 Audi allroad to you (same as yours!) for the subframe renovation....just kidding, I can't get to you very easily now (thanks brexshitters).
Plus one on the copper brake lines. You won't get caught out like that again! Merry Christmas from Ireland.
good stuff :)
Seisoene groeten mijn vriend. Geluk en sterkte voor het nieuwe jaar.
Bravo!
You gotta be pleased with that
