Hey! Everything has been good but I just recently started working full time over at Garagistic. Check out the Garagistic UA-cam channel to see all the stuff I've been working on lately and I will also be uploading more on the 2002 and e30s once I get the chance 😁
I owned a BMW 2002. I bought it as a gift to myself when I returned from Operation Desert Storm. Before I join the ARMY I knew a girl that was going to the University of Arizona that drove a absolutely beautiful red 2002. Apparently her father was a car guy. She grew up in scottsdale Arizona. I knew nothing about the small car except for it was a BMW. At first I thought it was just a qerky car. But it grew on me. Then I met a guy that raced them. He told me all about them. I was hooked. I had no money and lost interest. A few years later I found myself in the army. After nearly a year in Saudi Arabia and Iraq with nothing to spend my money on I came home to a pretty good size bank account. What do I buy? A new Honda Civic? A Toyota truck? A Jeep? I know! One of those cool BMWs !!! Now years later It’s time for another BMW2002. I’M looking for a super nice one. Saving my money so that I can buy one that is in super good condition. Especially the body. Engine not so important. That can be rebuilt. I would love to find one that has been beautifully/professionally restored.
Ayo Derkm where you at? It's been a year know man. Waiting to see the paint on the drift e30 and how all the projects are coming along. Your videos are really educational and will help when I start with our new e30. Waiting for your new vids man
Yoo!! I'm still making videos but started working full time over at Garagistic producing content for them 😁 if you want to see what I've been working on, check out their channel! I'll still be uploading on my channel with updates on all my cars though! Once I catch up on editing the Garagistic content, expect new uploads on here 🤘🤘
Looking forward to the scripts on how to turbo your e30. Hope everything has been good for you the past few months & you are able to get some new content out soon. Your stuff has been so helpful so far and a huge inspiration!
Yoo!! Sorry brotha, been caught up doing videos for work but im sure that content would be enjoyable for you to watch as well! Im making all the new youtube content for Garagistic so go check out their youtube channel and stay tuned for some new build series we're gonna have on there as well as some install videos 👍👍 and hit me up with any video ideas that you wanna see on there!
Perfect video at the perfect time ... already just finished from my brakes and just thought of doing the pedals assembly and here you are ... I think i'll just keep up with you but please be more detailed at the assembling video ... Thanks 🙏
Gonna start this process in the next couple weeks. The one thing I'm not looking forward to is getting the actual pedal box out. Was it very difficult for you?
Easy Off.....GENIUS! Old dog-new trick.....no more Gunk $$$ for me. Question? why powdercoat? is this a show car? (ok 2) I found Seymoure CAST BLACK/ALUMINUM work great for my daily driver.
Haha its a cheap and great heavy degreaser 😁 I want the car to be as clean as I can reasonably make it and powdercoating it was an easy option since I knew a guy but just a little pricy. I also didn't feel like painting it either since I knew it wouldn't last as long as the powdercoat and I didn't want to worry about scratching it through the paint and having it rust. I may have to give that Seymoure paint a try on some other parts in the future though!
I appreciate man! I’ve been saying it a lot but I really mean it when I say I’m coming back soon! Currently filming a new build and have some E30/2002 videos planned as well 👍🏽
My pedal box is almost out but I'm having trouble removing the accelerator pedal arm. I removed a bolt and nut from underneath the car and the spring but still not coming out? What's the trick?
Hrmm is it stuck in the plastic bushing in the pedal box? Or is it stuck to the bracket where the nut and bolt were connected? I don't remember the whole process too well but im thinking it could be seized/stuck where it goes though the plastic bushing in the pedal box. I could be wrong however!
You should check out restore it on UA-cam, he has a lot of content like this. He also puts "restoration" in the title of his videos and seems to help with the views 😉
Thanks for the tip man! I actually do watch that guy as well as some other restoration youtubers and I considered putting "restoration" in my title but I feel like my work isn't exactly up to par with their level of restoring and I don't want my subpar work to be compared to their level of work/detail 😅 might give it a try though!
Still alive and plan to make videos! Have a ton of content still sitting for this project and still have the car but just haven't had the time to edit ever since I started working full-time over at Garagistic. Stay tuned though! I will be having more content on here soon.
Hello Derrick, been 4 months since your last upload is everything ok ?

Honestly your are good guy. You love to teach people from your heart. God bless you. I thank you
As much as I'm happy for your new job, the 2002 content must resume.

Juicy content

Nice work, i working in the same vídeo . NICE‼️
Really like your channel hope you come back soon
I appreciate man! I’ve been saying it a lot but I really mean it when I say I’m coming back soon! Currently filming a new build and have some E30/2002 videos planned as well 👍🏽
Where do you buy your parts, like the aluminum bushing instead of the plastic?
You can get that from Ireland Engineering's website 👍
You wouldn’t happen to have another pedal box you would part with?
I only have the old automatic pedal box unfortunately 😔
My pedal box is almost out but I'm having trouble removing the accelerator pedal arm. I removed a bolt and nut from underneath the car and the spring but still not coming out? What's the trick?

Leave the link for the part from island engineering
How about a 2002 update?
Have one filmed and 90% edited! Just adding a little bit more to the video and it'll be up 😁
@@derkm Glad to hear it! I'll be using your caliper rebuild vid as a guide soon. Very helpful.

@@derkm dude your work is great . I think it's definitely on par 😂
@@MOEHD100 I appreciate it man! But if you wanna see top tier restoration, check out "my mechanics". Dude is on a whole other level!
