Restoration of my BMW E30 Touring and S38B36
Ep. 24 - My BMW E30 Restoration - Major Touring Tailgate Rust Repairs + DIY Spray Booth Prep
Carrying on with the panel prep for before the respray; I tackled the tailgate, these are notorious for rust in very tricky areas.
I purchased this as ‘mint condition’ but as you will see it was far from it, but much better than my original piece.
Starting with a complete strip down to find all the places that need repairing, after a lot of careful cutting out it needed 6 repair patches to replace the rotten areas.
A lot of complex shapes were needed and it really tested my fabrication skills, but once they were all welded in and cleaned up, I put up a ‘DIY spray booth’ and applied the epoxy primer to the whole tail gate to seal it.

Ep. 23 My BMW E30 Restoration - Removable Core Support, Is This The Best Solution?
มุมมอง 9K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Use code BADE30 for 10% off all products: link to their store here linktr.ee/bad_e30 So there may be a lot of information as to how people make their rad/core support removeable, however I wasn't happy with both how the wings would be need to be removed to slide out the upper mounts and using rivnuts in the chassis legs as the support would deform when secured to the legs. I decided to go for t...
Ep. 22 BMW E30 Fan Heater Box Full Restoration - Including Valve Reseal
มุมมอง 2.8K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
The heater fan box is something that may be missed during a restoration, however I thought it would be best to strip it down and inspect. The foam gaskets were all completely perished so this would have affected the directional airflow. Now luckily this task does not require a huge amount of costly replacement items, I could have bought a new bmw heater valve and matrix but I decided against th...
Ep. 21 My BMW E30 Restoration - Sound Deadening Installation
มุมมอง 6K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Now it was quite the shame to cover up the recent respray however sound deadening is a must for me. I decided to cover the whole floor compared the factory as I want to dampen as much of the drivetrain/road noise as possible, the difference in weight is only around 10kg more. I won't be using the factory engine bay insulation as I don't have the clearance around the engine, so I installed the s...
Ep. 20 My BMW E30 Restoration - DIY Interior Respray
มุมมอง 4.6K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this episode I will be continuing on with the interior refresh and completing the respray. Unfortunately 90% of this will be covered up with interior bits but I felt it best to make it as good as the rest of the car. In the previous episode I removed the sound deadening, cleaned up the weld repairs from the underside and applied primer to the bare surfaces. So the first job was to seam seal ...

มุมมอง 9K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
With the underside complete, I have started to tackle the interior to make progress with the project. There was a lot of weld repairs that needed cleaning up and all the sound deadening needed to be removed. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information online about the best procedure to remove the sound deadening, I attempted the heating method first and found it work totally fine and muc...
Ep. 18 My BMW E30 Restoration - Does my S38 swap fit?
มุมมอง 2.1K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Just a quick video, but I thought I would go through the process of mocking up the bare engine before I start on the rebuild. Some slight firewall modifications were required to get the engine in the furthest rear position, this is required as there is not much room at the front. Also lowered the engine by 20mm to gain more bonnet clearance, I have gone past my actual planned height but this ca...

This is the first video of my new series going through the rebuild of my BMW S38B36 from an E34 M5 which I will be installing into my E30 Touring. What is wrong with my S38 engine? Well, quite a lot. I got the engine on the cheap in 2019 and have been slowly getting every component ready for the rebuild, but there is still a long way to go. In this video I'll be looking at the cylinder bores an...

What volts and what amps you use when you bath in Zink and Nickel? Also you need to show how you made those Nickel and Zink bath and that color bath! What is in that orange bath? I cant do this because I dont know what is that liquids?
hi bro, i'm from indonesia. i really need a pair of repair kit for my 1991 e30 rear caliper, but it's very hard to get it here because most e30 in indonesia use drum rear brake, can you help me, thanks
Hey. how did you undo the a/c lines at expansion valve? seems hard to get to with box in place
can you buy the yellowing passivate stuff by itself. I nickle plated some stuff but I would love it yellowed like this...!
Congratulations on the content. Bad E30, could you please share the instruction you follow (21:31)? It's very complete and more didactic than the ones I've had access to.
Can anyone tell me is this sealent better than a raptor coating?
Thankyou! nice job...helpful...
It’s that Tina?
Great video. When setting the pinion you said it needs to be 2.5kg of force. Could you tell me how long the lever is from the centre of pinion to where your pulling from? So i can make one. Thanks Nick
Very nice.
Excellent video, nice work! Did you manage to find a replacement part for the engine shock damper as well?
Where are you located?
Why no mention of preload piston setting 32:00. Too loose - clunk, too tight - drags on rack.
I was thinking that tighten the side plate right down back it off quater turn then the bar wound threw stairs grips on pinion end checking for rack role torque setting is between 8nm to 18nm with torgue gauge
Back after 3 years having to remove the interior now. Thanks again for the video
how many tubes of underseal did you use on the whole of the car?
About to do E39's servotronic rack. I reckon it should be much the same.
I LOVE your cordless drill/wire wheel trick! Beats trying to hold the buggers in your fingers, trying to twist and clean the threads. Into the memory bank that one goes. Thank you!
So we're just going to ignore the use of a metal file as a grease applicator?! Do you have ANY idea what kind of an example you're setting for impressionable kids out there? My God, man!
Cheer~~~a thin coating of other metal.😊
I was always interesting about it, but its a BIG NO for me. 15min EDITED video, 6 bucket of liquids, acid, etc $$$... for 6 bolts!!! I have like 100 from my engine bay, fcuk it :)
Nice work bud, watched the whole video. So much attention to detail and good work here.
Just jumped over from ticktock was watching tick-tock thinking this deserves more than a time lapse over 1min, glad I found your TH-cam , great project, great contents, great car 👊
Awesome! Thank you!
This tailgate was still a decent unit to work with. Orange, but mostly one piece. Good work !

Now this is some fine tuning of bodywork. Such a game changer when you have to do extensive work on a car. When those other guys will be doing cutom radiator, will it be mounted on rubber/poly bushes ?
Thanks! Yes it will be on rubber mounts
Beautiful work, great job!
What sealant did you use buddy?
HOW MUCH WAS THIS KIT? IM IN THE USA ALSO.
Hi. Just wonder how hard is to remove the yellow Passivate. I use gateros kit and the Passivate is not staying on the parts, I can remove it with a little harder scrub using my fingers. Yes I waited 48 hrs to cure. Thanks. Nice video
Another good job 😊
Nice to see you have your safety shoes on lol
@@mellis6896 😂😂
Nice. The most important step you fast forward it.
И выкинул её потом в мусорку. Не делайте так😂. Она потекла 100%
Nice work, I also need to fix the tailgate on my iX Touring
Nice! Hopefully this helps you, it may be a daunting task but great to know it is all done now
Great video! Does it look a little goldish because its zinc/nickekl? Looks more yellow/gold than straight nickel or straight zinc plating.
Hey man just wondering, how big is your garage to store the car on the rotisserie I’m about to move house and the garage is much bigger. Just wondering as my car has more rust than I first thought and don’t want to have 2 stabs at this. 😂
I can just stand upright in it, when I designed the jig I knew it would be tight, but it actually only fit if the car was upside down! So i couldn’t work on the car in the garage. At a guess it is 6x2.5m
Am little confused, is this finishied product for painting? Cant be i think, you need to weld more panels in right?
@@tristannigol2924 well i hope not! What do you think is missing?
@@BadE30 outside rim where inside is glass looks like it needs plate on it, or like its hard to tell and seemed you cut so much but didnt weld much
@@tristannigol2924 all welded back in around the glass! It is symmetrical
@@BadE30 okei
Great work! what sand blaster did you use?
@@hadlowwww just a cheap one from Lidl! I have a proper blasting cabinet but this is very useful for quick outside jobs
I dont have much knowledge but if i would do this, do i need a different steering wheel hub other than the one from the e30 then?
I’m looking at getting one of these and your video has made my mind up. I’m getting one. The price vs how many times I would use it, no brainer. Thanks for the video
Respect!
Would you do a video why you explain the rustpreventive products, paint and primers you use? That would great😄 Great video you make, you have a new subscriber
Great suggestion! I will look at doing this once the car is done and explain each set of products used
top top work as usual Liam...your fabrication skills are top notch!.. whoever sold you that as mint should be ashamed of themselves...
Thank you as always🫡 Unfortunately it’s hard to see the rust until you start searching!
Word of advice please don’t use gloves with that wire wheel god sake man could lose a finger, but great information nonetheless the less
lovely vid leemie weemie
@@ukjt89 thanks jonny
dam watching this drinking and seeing those two core supports had me tripping
Like it😂
I agree with you and this is good. Great project.
