    Nice floor repair job and good work on the diagnostics too! I'm a 70's and older car and pickup guy , there's way too much electronic er um STUFF on these modern cars! 😎

      Thanks dude! Older cars are way more straightforward with their parts and simpler electrical stuff. I have experience with modern bmws and dealership software, but old cars will always be best.

      Trust me those aren't that bad, e36's are still rather simple for what they are and his is obd2 so at least the diagnostic tools can do something and telll you things.
      I have an e36 too but an earlier one so it doesn't have obd2, meaning if it has some problem and you've diagnosed everything mechanical and you think it's some electronic bullshit that's bad like a sensor or something, well good luck because you're not gonna have the luxury of plugging in a scanner and just reading what's wrong. Cars that have electronics but no good way of scanning for electronic errors are a pain.

    hey man I'm needing to cut out floorpans from a donor towncar at the salvage yard. any tips on how I can remove them with limited tools? I'm assuming I'll have to use hand tools since I'm not able to use electric/air at the yard

    • @brandonong2508
      @brandonong2508  11 місяців тому

      I don't think they'd allow you to get cut out parts since junk yards usually only have part pricing pricing for bolt on parts. I would just find someone local that's parting out and ask to cut a part off. Or you can use plain sheet metal like I did. Third option is to buy a floorpan repair panel from valcas garage or a similar site.

    how did you get the carpet out without removing the dashboard?
    do you have AC?

    • @brandonong2508
      @brandonong2508  Рік тому

      Check out my interior swap video if u want to see carpet removal. I have AC. Dashboard removal isn't necessary if you're willing to cut some of the carpet. You'd need to cut two lines, where the carpet sits on top of the transmission tunnel/under the heater box. It's okay because the cut parts are hidden behind the shifter surround. If you don't want to cut, you'd have to remove dash, heater box, dashboard bracing (need to move steering column out of the way for this), ... long process.
      In my video "E36 - Removing Sound Deadening, Finding Water Leak, Fixing Heater Box Coolant Leak" at 11:25, you can see the portion of the old brown carpet that still remains, it's under the heater box.

    I am not sure but was there not some spot welds between the rusted area and the front subframe rail?

    • @brandonong2508
      @brandonong2508  2 роки тому

      I think you're talking about the long flat edge that is partially primered partially bare metal at 4:40. Yes there were spot welds but most it was rusted so it was easy to remove. Then I just hit it with an angle grinder to clean up the rest.
