  • Join in with the Restored crew as they attempt to bring some life back into this forgotten 1959 BMW Isetta. After escaping its final resting place, this ol' girl seeks a second chance to be restored to its former glory. Follow along as the guys dig in and diagnose the problems that have arose after sitting up for over 40 years. Will the team be able to get this circus-looking micro car back on its feet again, or are they just clowning around?

      That's confusing. Why both channels?! It's possible to change the name of a UA-cam channel. Maybe change the name of this one to 'Turnin' Rust Restored'? Ought to be a way to move all the videos from one channel to the other.

    That brings back happy memories of my BMW Isetta 300 my first car bought while still at school 15 years old, never knew these were sold in America. Sold it for £9 just over $10 worth serious money now.

  • @checkmatearts7836
    @checkmatearts7836 Рік тому +1

    It was pretty cool seeing the isetta rescued. Be careful running an unserviced motor. They don't have an oil filter. There is a slinger on the end of the crankshaft. If it fills up with crud it will just overflow crud. A lot of them grenade after about 12,000 miles because nobody ever cleans the slinger. Also, be careful driving with the old rubber donuts on the shaft between the chaincase and the transmission. If that old rubber fails at 45mph it will wreck the transmission cover (very expensive part now days compared to replacing the rubber donuts). I have 5 complete cars plus a couple of spare bodies and enough spare parts to build another car out in my barn. My car I drove most of the time would get to 55mph.

    I’m new here. My father bought a BMW Isetta new in the late 50’s / 60’s here in the UK when he was dating my mum. Some of the Isetta’s were 3 and 4 wheeled. While I worked for BMW in London in the 90’s I was fortunate to drive a customers Isetta, it was kinda scary but fun driving at 40 plus mph!

    Hence our constant fight with them coiling up and in and through themselves. It's a lot easier to just hang them straight.

    As a German, I have a special relationship to BMW Isetta as a part of our car history. Allow me a question, is there no vacuum cleaner in your shop to get rid of all the dirt inside the car before focusing on engine and wiring? ;-) Great channel guys! Thanks for entertaining!
