Plowing Through It! Mat Armstrong's Classic BMW E24 Restoration - Suspension, Wings & Shot Blasting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2024
- In this video we continue restoring Mat Armstrong's Classic BMW E24. We first dismantle the front axle and remove the hubs, we then get elements of the suspension shot blasted and we finish off with fabrication on the front wings/ fenders. Almost all rust is now gone! there is not much of this build left to go now!

I bought 2 new bmw e24 wings for my restoration 7 years ago at £650 each from maindealer so money we'll saved
Money saved indeed! Thanks for the info :)
Impressive availability for an old car.
*content* doesn’t work if he just buys it :)
now he knows how much to bill mat for them 😊 haha
@@adnxn1 he's not billing Mat, he's doing it for free!
The content you create isn’t the sort of thing I enjoy watching - but I just want to acknowledge your unbelievable talent and patience.
I’m sure you probably already know this? But I would reinforce the steering box mount on the subframe before putting the car back together that is the Achilles’ heel of the E 24 6 series
Really? I had mine for 6 years and drove it hard, never had a problem with this. The rubber joint on the propshaft however, would last about 9 months! it was a great relief when I found that Euro Car Parts did it for £16.89, as opposed to £120+VAT from BMW. That was 25 years ago, don't lnow what it would be now?
When is the next Mat Armstrong's BMW video coming out, I can't wait to see how Mat explains the amazing job you've done on his channel.
These videos have everything! Amazing craftsmanship, behind the scenes action and unrelenting dry humour. Does life get any better? Nope.
Mat Armstrongs E24. The gift that keeps on giving
Very interesting to see how complex some of these panels are "behind the scenes". Not something the layman usually gets to see.
Hard to believe it’s been 9 months. Both that you’ve been working on it for 9 months (time flys watching from a recliner) and it looks like this in only 9 months. And you’ve made great progress on other vehicles at the same time.
Not to mention produce these videos!
Absolutely amazing skills as usual. I could watch you and your dad all day. Total in awe
Hope the BMW is not getting damaged with all the swarf from grinding and covering rubbing, still love your craftsmanship
Makes me smile when I see you do the metal work... how it should be done...
It's looking quite full in that huge garage. Great vid 👍
Ayu Ryan another brilliant video brother stay well bud 👍🏻👏👏
The Artist. That’s how I call you. I’ve looked at the 38 episodes (I think), your job is amazing. « Majestic » is you actually. Congrats. I wish I could be Musk, I would have offered you (well Mat) big money for this car I belove. One thing is shame, steering wheel is on the wrong side (i’m from Belgium), curious, isn’t it ? We have as well some sense of humour this side of the Manche…big thank you.
Amazing!! Keep up that good work of yours !!
Thank you!
I had know idea this was even possible…. Your value to old cars is invaluable, your an artist buddy unbelievable skill set, so jealous you have that ability 👌🏻✨✨
Love the work ethic!
Amazing work as always Ryan
Fantastic work.
Top work, what a skill to have👌
Thank you :)
Awesome fab table. Good to see you up and out of the dust
Brilliant, incredible talent and patience - thank you
I admire your skills
True artist 😎
I tend to skip through and catch the really interesting bits, a very skilled young man. Very few people would take on a challenge like this.
A pleasure to watch a skilled man at work.
You're magnificent
I learned from you so many things
Thank you ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Some of the best fabrication you have done
Amazing work 💪💪
Top work Ryan
Work goes on but need some time to sleep , doing a great job , lovely to see
A mighty fine bit of work you've done there creating that wing part. Great video, never apologise matey.
Nice work Ryan. Those wings really have to be saved nowadays, new ones are 2 arms and 2 legs to buy, if you can still get them. If my 8 series project is anything to go by, some parts I priced up when I started work on it about 7 years ago are still available but have nearly tripled in price, so if wings were £650 7 years ago, who knows what they will be now. It is obvious that a lot of commenters have never tried to restore an old BMW or they wouldn't make some of the comments.
Good start to the morning, My OG beanie arrived this morning, just when I had given up on it anyway :) Looks like you (Ryan) finally managed to get your suppliers sorted, thank you and good work as always.
i admire your skills as a metal fabricator... awesome work
Amazing m8 keep them coming
Great videos, keep up the honest ,skilled content well done
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and supporting
I think your job is safe ryan no AI robot could possibly recreate all those impossible fabrications even if it could work day and night without a break and as for editing the footage.............
You are so very talented in what you do what you have done to that car is absolutely outstanding. Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m sure Mat is gonna be very pleased…. it will be like a new car when you finished😊😊😊😊
Not owning or a load to drive because of illness but I'm not a car fan but watching you bring this classic car back to it's former Glory is amazing to watch I'm a big fan of Matt Armstrong even though I'm not a car fan I still enjoy those kind of builds
I think you should be up for next 'top gear' presenter- you have all that it takes and more ; )
Great work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well done Ryan amazing work as always this car has been one hell of a journey
Thanks so much Dave. Hope your doing well! I passes thr job last month, looks smart! Cabins gone too.
Big plans in store for this car!
Excellent work as always Ryan. 👍
perfekt work👍👍👍
Well done on that panel, the swage lines would be hard to get to fall in place with the rest of the guard panel. Cheers from New Zealand. 🐞
Another artwork! Panel-beating in two directions, PLUS a step..... I reckon it looks easy and nice on paper when designed, but quite a challenge in the flesh/ metal. But you managed, as usual.
Do i see a orange BMW E3 in the background? Another series on another beautiful car i hope.
Thanks again!
Hi , amazing video mate!!! You' ve got such a talent to do this.
Personlig I could buy old car in California, Spain,Dubai what's so ever.
Have good weekend bro
HMS Rusty Mc Beemer!
More sprout please!
👍🇬🇧
Top lad
cool
Ryan, you're quite the plowhorse
To remove ball joints you just need to pop the taper by hitting the arm where the tapered part of the ball joint goes through the steering arm. Usually one good hard hit with a hammer with the nut backed off
A real pleasure to watch you work, i look forward to each and every update on all your projects,
Did you have time to get your S4 sorted? If not why not try a collaboration with saving salvage he is a vag man who loves one thats been in a bump dose great work too
Before you paint the front crossmember, weld and reinforce the steering box bracket - not the one with the long through bolt but the other one. They are well known for breaking.
Awesome work Ryan! I see you cut out just the rusted parts ending up with odd shapes, lots of corners etc. Is it not easier to cut out a bigger piece that is square?
Nice...😅
That car has come a long way, but to be fair you have put in some serious hours on it.
Will this project ever end ? I need to see it at Mat’s unit ASAP
whats gonna happen to this car? are you gonna reassemble it or is it going back to Mat?
Peltor should sponsor you with a pair of Alert XP so you can finally ditch those headphones 😂
Had to fill the front wings on mine every summer. They were £500 each in 1990.
Hello 👋 my number one good buddy captain yorkshire, im home from my brothers and sitting here eating a piece of birthday cake i wish I could send it to you through the comments 😀 but i enjoy the video a lot more than the cake 🎂 🥮 im glad that my phone was able to load it and let me watch it.. you are doing a extremely good job Ryan getting everything ready to go back together won't be long until she will be able to roll around the shop on its wheels 😉..hope you and everything at the shop have a wonderful blessed and prosperous and safe work week ahead.
Wish i could afford for you guys to finish my mini
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
How do you ensure that all the bits removed and the nuts and bolts can be reassembled correctly?
I would loose the extension off the 1/2 gun for more torque dude 👍
Not seen an update on Matt Armstong’s BMW in a while…..
Are there more coming?
HOUR TOTAL!?? Bro we need and hour tally! This is Bananas!
Is there any further video on this car? Or is it done?
Is that the E9 2500CS in the background that featured on a Barn Finds episode of the Late Brake Show last year? Would love to see an episode on that too!!
Yes that is Gors E9 from the late brake show
Hello there YCR, when would the next video on this car be out? :) Great Work BTW.
It's filmed, just editing. Hopefully this week :)
What you listening to while you are doing this stuff
What are we talking overall cost wise here? I wouldn't have a clue.
Is this the end of this project?
How is the BMW now?
We don't see anything of this car anymore?
Can we have an update please. It’s been a while since you showed any work done. Thanks in advance.
Why weld up the opening for the indicator in the side of the wing are you planning on replicating an earlier car. The first e24s didnt have indicators in the wings, but also had a much less flared wheel arch than cars from 1982 on
That cannot be a flat welding table you doing the heavy torqing on, now can it?? 😂
It is almost a month without any updates
Does this vehicle belong to Mat Armstrong and you are doing the work for him, or did you buy the vehicle off him and you are restoring it for yourself or a customer?
I mean ! How lucky is this car ? And your going to give it back to him 😢
Did you get carried away and blank off the indicator hole 😊 11:51
We don't need that where we are going 🤫
Nuff said 😊
That was my thought watching it, i was like “oh Indicator delete 😮” is that intentional 😂
Where abouts are you based in Yorkshire pal
🤘😎🤘🚗💨
What type of car is the one behind the E24, on the spit with the very big gap in the roof
Bmw e30 baur. That comes onto the channel soon
mat Armstrong should pull his smashed up m3 running gear into it
What's the built cost breakdown please
Free, although Matt should mention them every week, which he has not done yet, ever
@@suznetare you completely sure they are doing this for free?
@@suznetagreed 100%. I have mentioned that on here previously and in the comments on Matt’s Chanel.
@@beamer8907 I’m sure they said that on their 100k subs video, same for Autoalex & Colin Furze beemers
Yes this is being done for free. And was hoping for some kind of recognition
Whats the latest with Matt Armstrongs car ? It hasnt been featured in any videos for a while.
See other answers.
I can’t see any other answers in the comments that reference what’s happening next @yorkshirecarrestoration
@@Z411G neither could I
@@yorkshirecarrestoration tagged you incorrectly earlier 😊
@@AZguy2024🤔🤔🤔
I take my hat off to you for all the hard work your putting in doing this your self. 🫡
When does Ryan sleep ?? 🙂
Would it be possible to get the track name between 5:33 and 7:11 ? All wannabe rappers that have sampled it and pop up in shazam claim it as their own. :(
🧑🔧💪💯✏✂
Dont you have a shrinker? Notice you've slit afew curves rather than shrinking
The panel curved both ways
Good job, where's sandblasting booth?!!! 😡😡😡
When you weld in a piece like ‘the ship’, it gets ground down, smoothed over etc. But can you show us what the other side looks like, and is it prone to rust on the other side?
Ta.
Bye.
Surely you can find good condition wings for this project, doesn’t seem worth the time to repair.
Very expensive to buy
they are like $1000 each. I paid $700 for an e21 front valance because all used one were rotten
The idea is to show people how fabrication skills, work can be done and hopefully help in real life situations if parts aren’t available.
Or too expensive
this is a show car
Any word on furs ride is the next part coming soon
Craftsmanship And quality att. To Detail are incredible . But in real world nobody would put so many hours into a non vintage extremely rare car. Just buying a new floor pan and throwing all that rusted hulk out would be much cheaper
