awesome content man! You inspired me to start my own channel after I watched your E9 roundtrip video. Now I own a bmw 2002 and planning to take it to road trips :)
Extremely well done! This bimmer deserved it! My experience with sunroofs: once I had a 1986 e30 with sunroof.... BTW it had water trapped somewhere into the chassis. Every time I had to park uphill or downhill I could hear water flushing. Not nice. I made sure not to buy another sunroof car since. Fun fact is, usually sellers take extra pride and charge extra money for a sunroof LOL! For someone it can be a nice extra, but in the long run not worth the hassle, if you ask me.
Thank you! I love sunroofs but they almost always do need new seals. I made a video about changing that on this car. The one seal was literally non existent before!
Looks great dude! I'm "looking forward" to doing the same on mine...plus a few dozen other patches. It was nice to get an x-ray preview of what lays ahead. I also like the way you shot and edited this. I may have to borrow some of those techniques for my channel.
Dave nicely executed. It would be interesting to see how you worked the compound bend patches as well. As for the body Shultz, I think Wurtz is the best and most factory, but you probably know that. Good job.
This channel, this repair and this channel should have way more views than what it has! You did amazing work on this! Keep up the good work!! Let's go #youtube promote this guy more he's doing awesome work! Keep it up
Brilliant work. Very well done👍. The result is impressive. Would there be a way to route the drain hose differently in order to prevent the corners from rusting, even in if takes 45 years 😉?
You have a great way to explain your work. I was hoping to find out how you separate the fender from the welded part at the nose of the car. Do you just cut it off?
David I am super impressed at your skills. I have 76 2002 also, that's how I found your channel. How long have you been doing metal work? Also that Taiga is the best color.
No underestimating the chore that getting that black nasty insulation out is. Lots of hard work, but with judicious editing, you made it look easy! GREAT job, beautiful metal work. I love those hand fabbed pieces.
For the floor stuff, you can use dry ice and cover the floor area with it, go over it with some light smacks of the hammer and take it up with a screwdriver. No real easy way to do the stuff that covers vertical panels, though.
What sorts of tools do you use to shape the metal? I saw you have a sort of round-topped tool that you use for some of the shaping. I'm curious most about the rounded bends especially. I'm guessing some kind of pneumatic stamping tool?
I’m keen to know which tools you used for shaping the sheet metal? PS I’m about to purchase a 2002 touring project car in need of full restoration Satisfying video to watch 😎👍
Nicely done! Great metal working. No wonder you're pleased!
I love the pic of your old hood.
The TH-cam algorithm hasn’t helped you yet. I’ve done my part. Subscribed !

Hell yeah man! That’s great to hear!
Hats of to you sir and whoever raised you.
Wow pretty impressive metal fab work.
I always enjoy watching metal work done right.
Excellent job keep it up.
Wow, I am a professional Boatbuilder and also did some welding, but this kind of metall work was unknown to me. Looks awesome!
Beautiful work. I have a '73 that is going to need some of this surgery and am watching your videos closely for tips...
Watch the rear of the rocker where the rear subframe mountings are...BMW put a spongue inside the rockers.
I love it, hope you get way more following, you definitely deserve it!
I like your welding, looks very tidy.
Extremely well done! This bimmer deserved it!

Great work, I enjoyed watching your expertise! Good day sense of humor too!
Beautiful work!
Great editing . Very inspiring work.
You are super talented. Well done!

Just discovered your channel. Amazing videos and amazing welding skills. (y)
Great vid, just found your channel. I'm doing a full resto on a 74" myself.
Top notch work!!!!!
Thank you for the video..keep up the amazing work

Awesome job mate, whens the next video on the 2002?
Nice work!
This channel, this repair and this channel should have way more views than what it has! You did amazing work on this! Keep up the good work!! Let's go #youtube promote this guy more he's doing awesome work! Keep it up
very nicely done!!
Brilliant work. Very well done👍. The result is impressive.
Would there be a way to route the drain hose differently in order to prevent the corners from rusting, even in if takes 45 years 😉?
Thank you! Not a bad idea to reroute the drains. I hope if it’s kept clean and out of the weather it will last!
Show us how you created the pieces ( molding/ shaping) please, I am looking to repair some of the rusts myself on my 2002.
Thank you for sharing!
Epic! Please do a video on how you go about shaping the metal. Also what was that copper looking spray you used?
Thank you! The copper spray is zinc weld thru primer. Helps protects the metal before welding!
You have a great way to explain your work. I was hoping to find out how you separate the fender from the welded part at the nose of the car. Do you just cut it off?
Nice dude
David I am super impressed at your skills. I have 76 2002 also, that's how I found your channel. How long have you been doing metal work? Also that Taiga is the best color.
What is the thickness of the sheet metal panel you use?
What you using for undercoating? Looks alot like roofing tar
do you take on work from other people?
Very nice work. I am curious though. Is it easy to find a new window seal since you cut the old one?
Thank you! New windshield seals are easily available online through the main Classic Bmw parts suppliers. I prefer the genuine BMW ones!
Great work, I’m starting to dive into the rust on my ‘76. What did you use to get the factory colored undercoating?
Thank you! I actually used paintable undercoating and then got matched paint to use. Hope that helps!
please use plenty of cavity wax, in the cavities
Simply "WOW!"
Amazing job, congratulations!

I tried the dry ice method, but wound up resorting to a heat gun and putty knife for most of it. No fun at all.
Fantastic work! I have a US model 1976 20002 so it was especially interesting to see the disassembly. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work David.. Just about to tackle similar rust issue on my 2002.. Super helpful / informative episode. Keep them coming!

just found you channel and Iam impressed how good the videos are :O excellent !
Great work David. Do you this kind of work for a living?
Exelente, saludos desde Uruguay.
Impressed that’s for sure
Hell of a fabricator!
Awesome
I’m keen to know which tools you used for shaping the sheet metal? PS I’m about to purchase a 2002 touring project car in need of full restoration
Satisfying video to watch 😎👍
Wow David!! Excellent work! I’m looking forward to more work on this 02!
Nice work David! I'm wondering why you needed to remove the dash for this repair? Was it just to give you more room to work?
Good question! Basically because I was welding and grinding in the interior as well and thought it was best to keep the dash in a safe place.
Great job! Every video of you is very fun to watch. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you!
This Swedish person does awesome work! So inspiring!
