In this episode of Restore It, I remove a lot of trim from the touring in preparation for the pain preparation. I also remove the rust from the upper body panels and the front and rear bumpers and sand the old paint with SP600 sanding pads.

Sad to see you do gambling ads but as you said anything "to keep the lights on". Thank you for the videos!
@@williamschultz298 The "to keep the lights on" excuse is weak, especially to justify a predatory gambling ad
@@MirrorRe4per And? I trust him not to to lie and expect him to show these kinds of ads only in the most dire circumstances. His videos are also so good that even that so long as his financial situation is unknown its ok to me.
Sorry if it is un-understandable english is a second language for me.
@@williamschultz298 he isn't in a dire situation though, it's just an English expression. I don't think there's an excuse to peddle terrible adverts like this when you're at half a million subs and regularly have sponsors in your videos, I find it hard to believe he is struggling financially, and why the audience should suffer from that with predatory ads is beyond me
@@MirrorRe4per He did move recently but yeah I guess it would be hard to be down on money with half a mil subs.
Coming from a low budget guy. I would definitely restore the front valance. You have the skills already. Yes it's more work, but that just means more content. Content that I would watcj
Thanks, Kensivren! Good advice.
I agree. It’s not that bad. He has restored far worse. The valance wouldn’t take that long.
It depends on the cost of a new one in my opinion. If it's cheap enough I would just get a new one
Rubber on top of the seal panel is there to prevent rubbing the paint from to the side panel due to vibration.
Nice detail 👏🏻
Thank you!
Hey 🥰 nice !! new content 😊 Not that I object to the re-runs. Sometimes, it’s just a never ending battle with rust 🫤
Thanks Tinman! The shorter versions of the main channel content is on Restore it 2, that what you must be seeing. Cheers!
@@RestoreItyes, I’ve been happily subscribed taking a trip down memory lane 😊
I used to MOT test these when they were new(ish) and the rust was already creeping in on some cars. I can't understand why a quality car is so rust prone. My old golf from the same era is spotless!
One of the reasons i love your vids, is that you show things how they really are! It feels like, for a lot of youtubers, everything just sort of works or goes well for them. However whenever i try and do a job on my car it's full of rusted bolts, stuck fittings, snapped pieces etc.... etc... and yours are some of the only vids when it feels like you're actually working on a real car and not some show room fresh car that's been made to look a little old.
I totally love this channel - you do amazing work with objects and cars and so detailed.
Hi Steve, great to see you back at it again. Listen, I'm sure I'm not going to be able to tell you that much, but I'm on my 3rd old BMW restoration and have definitely learnt the hard way. That car is way off being ready for paint yet. The bits of rust you refer to as surface where the panels overlap at the bottom of the B pillar and sills aren't, the rust is coming from underneath the overlap. Unless you un-stitch everything, which is obviously major work, rust will be back again quite quickly. The valance is repairable but not easy because of the curves involved, I assume a replacement would be aftermarket to be affordable. If so, there will undoubtedly be fitment issues to get over. Watching Yorkshire Car Restoration YT channel would be a good bet for you, you will see exactly what you are up against for the sill, floor and jacking point repairs. Other than that, we are all busting to see your journey on this project, who doesn't like an E30?!
Hey Bob, thanks for the feedback. Don't worry, I have no intentions of painting the car now, or any time soon. There is a huge list of things to do before I get to that, I just wanted to take a break from the mass of welding that is required, and after speaking with the painter, it was another job to do. My plan is to "finish" the topside of the car and everything inside before I start work on the bottom of the car, which includes the sills. There is a possibility that the front valance will come from a company similar to E30 Garage Norway, and therefore fitment shouldn't be so much of an issue. Thanks again for a great comment!
Brilliant!! and fun to watch as always!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great stuff keep it coming it's keeping me going on my e 30
Thanks, Zach!
in my opinion, everything I saw is subject to restoration, you have everything necessary for this: skills, technical capabilities. Of course, it's only a matter of time or desire.
Thanks Ozzy! I think you're right, I just keep getting told I'm wasting time restoring things that should just be replaced, which is skewing my desision making. I do want to get this car finished asap, but there is some good content to be had and shared. Cheers!
Great progress! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Cylon!
Ive been using you're videos to help me repair major rust in a car i recently got, youre awesome
Glad to hear it! Cheers
Great work dude. Don't let the small things get you down.
Thanks, Jatflash!
The thin parished rubber strips on the sills are to superimpose the plastic sill covers, so they wouldn't rub on / through the paint on driving vibrations.
So def. recommended to replace them again... 👍🏻
Ah, good to know. I will do so! Thank you.
What is the secret to your tenacity - is it what's playing in your headphones?! We need that playlist! 😄
Haha, its rarely music that I listen to. Podcasts, audio books and a little bit of music when I run out of the first two!
Steven you’re making great progress so don’t worry about the many issues, they’re inevitable with projects of this scope!! Just remember what your work was like before that powerful air compressor and higher quality equipment!!! 😂
I’d definitely just replace that front bumper assembly. The time it would’ve taken to repair it could be better used elsewhere on the car, IMO
Thanks, Michael! And don't remind me! Its tough enough with the new equipment, I don't know how I use to cope!
I'm leaning on the side of replacing it, I think you're right.
Nice to watch, keep em coming
Best car on UA-cam
Well... your channel is called Restore It ;) So I'm on the "Restore the lip"-wagon :D
I'm really not sure! Though new ones are quite expensive, which does make the decision a little bit easier, haha
Keep on progress!
Thank you!
You're being too hard on yourself!
Yes you're redoing work that you did in Spain, but you were learning then and are still learning now!
You've come a long way!
I'm waaaaay worse than you at this stuff but I'm also still learning!
Great video ❤
Hey, thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement!
AWESOME
Cheers, Pedro!
I think the rubber strips are on your sills to protect them against the hard, possibly scratching action of your side skirts, which could otherwise damage the paint and cause rust underneath them and on the sills
Great job , great video !
Está quedando genial!!! Ánimo
The black rubbery strip along yhe sills used to be double sided tape that is originally used to hold the skirts (besides the clips) close to the body.
The caulk at the left rear vent behind the bumper was added by someone at some stage to stop water from leaking in. I suggest you place the vents back with proper nautical caulk as these vents often leak and cause rust in the side pockets.
New front bumper vote here!
Cheers!
I like to use hex sockets, they can't round off the nuts and if pushed too hard will snap the bolts.
Love the content! Just bought a touring aswell to be fair im getting a bit scared about the rust at the moment.
What you can see from the outside, is 1% of the rust thats there :D Good luck.
@@RestoreIt i figured😂🫶🏼
18:57 - If you meant the air vent, this is here so it can release air pressure when you close the trunk lid. I don't know why there is some type of gasket there tho.
Good, healthy episode! Lots of progress here, but I know there's more work to come.
Unless you remove all the sprayed on primer deff Scotch first 👍
Nice work.....but considering how much rust repair is needed... paint is way down the line
Thanks, and I know, I just wanted to take a break from welding and get other things done. Cheers!
Ps restore the valance, more satisfying 👌
I think you're right! Thanks, man. Appreciate it.
I’d restore the valance. I have more time than money. Loving your work 👍
Haha, same here! i think you're right. If one doesn't come to me easily, I'll Restore It 👍
Hey man good to see you keep up, also improved video quality. Big plus is the watch on mute option 👏👏 re-subbed & all the best
Me, in regards to the front end, I’d buy a new one, if I were you (with your skills, patience, tools, and viewers who want to see it), I’d restore it. 😊
Haha, good point. I'll see how it is after shot blasting and go from there.
One issue that is always a pain is keeping track of all the fastenings, nuts & bolts or small parts that you have to strip. I seem to remember that you were very methodical about this in Spain. How are you dealing with it here?
True, its ticky. I'm using 500ml clear plastic tubs with lids and labels. This seems to work well for most small parts like that.
very good job
Thank you!
17:44
Use Super Lock (SL) socket head - it's better and safer for hexagonal bolts.
And please DO NOT use a ratchet wrench to remove rusty fasteners, they are not designed for such loads and can easily break. Instead use Drive Breaker\ Power Bar and then ratchet wrench.
I wouldn't want your tools to break.
Steve, I’m been following along and I really enjoy the videos. One question I have is about prepping for paint when you still have a fair amount of rust, trim, and windows to be dealt with. I don’t do this kind of work so it’s all new to me but I’m curious why you wouldn’t completely strip the car down and address the rust first before doing paint prep?
Hey Jeff, thanks for the comment, I've done it, just to tick if off the list. I wanted to take a break from the welding and this was just one of the jobs I could have done. Cheers!
Are you going to remove all the glass? With so much other effort being put into it, it would be a shame to not do a glass out repaint.
I'm going to do the front windscreen, do you think its worth taking out all of the glass for a mini restoration? Maybe you're right, I'll think about it.
@@RestoreItIt needs to come out for a proper paintjob anyways.
ANTI-SEIZE COPPER GREASE 👌
buen trabajo genio saludos desde argentina
Thank you!
💪😎👍
Thank you!
👏
WD-40❤
I would buy a new valance because you can’t reach the rust between the overlapping spot welded parts
What is that strange radiator shroud in front of the radiator, I've never seen this type before on any e30?
how many panels where you able to do with 1 sanding disc?
I used 5 discs in total, but I think I could have gotten away with 3 or 4. Thats the first time I've DA'd a car like that so I was unsure how long to use a single disc for. I might have been able to do it with one, I'm not sure.
Did you find the part number of the screw that you cut off at 6:00? Mine are very rusty and I would like to replace them but I couldn't find them on the drawings.
Hey dude, I think I've just found them, but they are NLA... I do have the specs for the though, and the parts numbers.

Wouldn't be anywhere near that rust without eye protection. I ended up in hospital from a small flake landing in my eye and scratching my cornea.
I should wear it at all times, you're right!
Hey, what ever happened to your friends E30 M3?
I was just speaking to Antonio the other day actually, the car is now finished, bar a few things and we are planning to meet soon to film a final episode.
Not criticism, i love your work videos but why does everyone work on the body for respray and not mask the interior to keep dust out.
A really big job anyway....
Quite a big job, yes.
Windows out?
Brother, please use WD40
Guys what is your problem? Just fast forward the advert I do, I do not bet money on anything... but life is a gamble, give the guy a break he is trying to gt by like we all are, if UA-cam allow it, then he is doing nothing wrong. Gambling is a mugs game its addictive so is sex alcohol and booze , drugs . But hey you have a choice 😂. Voting reform tomorrow good luck to everyone
Thank you, Anthony.
Hey Mate, i know a car Channel Like yours is heavily depending on sponsors…but supporting online casinos and gambling addiction really isnt it👎
You're addressing the wrong person, he's not a morals guide, speak about it to your local lawmaker 😁😁😁😁😁
@@kahutochishisumi9056 of course he is, he has 500.000 subs and has a responsibility
He’s a relatively small channel that doesn’t get many views anymore. I’m grateful he’s still making videos…. And you’re giving out about a gambling add on a video you get to watch for free, give me a break….
Hey Dominik, thank you for the honest feedback. I totally get where you're coming from. As a content creator, I rely on sponsorships to support my channel. However, I get that promoting online casinos, even free to play ones like Jackpot World can be a sensitive topic. In this case I didn't have any other option but to accept the offer from the brand. The eye injury and the tooth surgery resulted in me falling behind, when I was already nowhere near where I wanted to be in terms of putting out content.
As the bills never stop, as well as the needing to cover the costs of making the episodes and running the channel. I had to take the sponsor. It's not ideal, but my short term plan is move away from brand deals and fund the channel through other means, like Raffall and Patreon. I hope you can understand, Cheers.
@@dominikgaming you're enjoying free content, I suggest you become a Patreon or sponsor him instead of trying to foist your moral values on him or others.
Always another rust spot ...
Always!
first
Thanks!
That lower rubber trim on the doors is likely for the side skirt to prevent rubbing into the paint and stopping vibrations. I recently had to tear into a lower door trim on an audi q3 and it had the same thing.
Thanks for letting me know!
Might I suggest removing all the grinding sounds from future videos? (or, at least, reducing their volume)
People use ear protection while grinding for a reason.
Thanks for the feedback. I get people saying leave it in, remove it, put music over it, don't put music over it... It's difficult to please everyone :D
@@RestoreIt Oh really? I didn't think it would be such a controversial topic! Well, go with your preference, then. I will still watch and enjoy the videos. 👍
Please wear eye protection when under the car
You're not wrong!
Your choice of sponsors is not great.
Not so much a choice, but out of necessity, thanks for the feedback.
Here I am again, begging you to use leather or something that looks like leather for the seats and the inside of the car.
It's not factory! I'm afraid I can't do it!
@@RestoreIt can't you get it custom made?
I always enjoy and appreciate your work and I know you need sponsors but do you really need to promote gambling? These companies operate in the same way as drug dealers by gradually luring people in to the point of addiction.
Thank you Malcolm, but sadly the short answer is yes, i really had to do it this time. The bills never stop (they actually just go up in price) and the channel costs a fair bit to run on its own. Its not ideal, but I plan to soon more away from brand deals and try other means of income, like Raffall and Pateron. Sorry to let you down!
@@RestoreIt Not at all, we had a polite exchange and I think we understand and accept each other's view point; my real gripe is how football and the like has taken the money and the normalisation of gambling is impacting children and you will note from your own sponsor the games are brightly coloured and child-like, almost the fruit flavours of the vaping world you might say. End of rant, I love your channel btw and I hope you can make the numbers work to keep on sharing your work with us.
