    For e30 those are not jacking points! Its factory assembly chassis holding points. When you use them as a jacking point you break the seam sealer and they start to rot. Real points are: diff, center of front subframe and 2 on the pinch welds on both sides. So yes you can remove them when you are just repairing the panel it gives a cleaner look and less place for moisture to creep

    If the Kiwk Lift is similar to a QuickJack you're using the frames the wrong way round. The lock bar should always be on the outside of the car so you don't need to be under the car to release the locks or have to put your hands through the hydraulic jack itself. You'll probably be fine doing it how your doing it but considering you just need to swap the frames round its best not to risk it!

    One piece of advice about ice blasting from someone who used it: be EXTRA careful with it. Think of it as pressure washing but with small chunks of ice (not water but CO2), and those chunks are coming out at very high speeds so it can really hurt you, even coming back at you after the rebound from the surface you're cleaning. You really do need (I can't emphasize it enough) to protect your whole body and protect it well.
    .
    Also, secondary anyway but worth mentioning, again, it's CO2 so you shouldn't breath the gases from the contaimer.

    Alex I have a question for you it’s unrelated to the e30 butt anyways I’ve bought a car and the previous owner didn’t tell me he crashed the car so rear axle is bent. Was going to just sell the car off but I love it too much it’s a 1.0 golf it’s only got 110hp but it’s well fun. I was thinking of buying a gti rear subframe and axle and swapping it out right how hard do you think it would be?

    As much as I enjoy watching this channel, there seems to be a serious lack of actual work being done by the person whom the channel is named after. Too much getting other people do all the work {Taylor, Tom, Josh} I've been watching you for years now and i want to see work being done, fixing, painting, tuning, racing etc etc. But it seems to be a whole lot of videos for not a lot of content. Please kindly revert back to the old Alex and get stuck in. It doesn't take 2 videos for us to watch you put a set of rims on a BMW that was completely renovated by other people!!! SORT IT OUT!

Just waiting on payday so I can get some tyres and brake pads for now to sling in for mot see if anything else is needed. I've got 2 jobs left on my little clio to finish off the work I've been doing but got pushed back due to doing work on 2 of my older sisters cars. Plus odd job need to do on my dads. But my first vw I'm finding new things nearly everyday I like about it. And can't wait to do some styling and tuning mods. Any ideas for a 2009 1.9tdi jetta please. And any tips and advice for planning first road trip from Manchester to the nurberghring please thanks guys. Also big fan of auto Alex
