    Probably my fave video series on TH-cam now. The work you're doing on this car would put a lot of other bodyshops to shame, and it's not even your day job!
    I have 1 request, can you list the music tracks as it's bloody good.

    i have watched nearly all of this e24 project. Im blown away by the quality of work that im seeing before my very eyes. Ryan you are the man. The tallent and quality is second to none. Since the start i have seen 4 e24 in your garage along with other awesome cars. You guys are the people to see if you want a car bringing back to life. I will defo be watching more even after this project.

      There is a lot of Bodyshops that are able to or will do what is done here, the problem is that you wont be able to pay for it.

      @gemeinwie10YT I been there my friend, I paid well above the odds for a full restoration and the car came back in worst shape than it went in. I had to spend a couple months snagging the entire job and by the end of it. The paint finish developed micro blisters in some areas and pinholes across the entire surface which most likely came from solvent pop. To say I was pissed would be an understatement. They want to redo it but I'm tempted to just get my money back and take it somewhere else. A lot of garages will promise you the world but never deliver. It's rather sad tbh

    Mat's E24 and the Cosmo are my favorite car porn videos! The true craftsmanship, real metal working, and attention to detail are very refreshing in these days of "just fill it with Bondo" I restore early Mustang's her in California and we generally do not have this kind of rust repair. Keep up the great work!! Real craftsmanship here!!

    I'm sure you've used these before, but I find the "foam" discs far more efficient to strip paint and they don't damage the panel surface.
    Even the Action ones (you get them for £3 for 3 pieces) work great.

  • @stefanharder4688
    @stefanharder4688 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent. How to pay attention to the little details of your handcrafted repair panels and ensure they fit exactly. You deal with this every day in your workshop and also have the necessary tools, such as a bending bench or beading press. But those who do it themselves don't have these practical things. But he could somehow manage it that way if he had the skill and knowledge. In any case, it's always nice to see how the BMW E24 becomes what it used to be. A really nice vehicle that will hopefully be as old again. Keep up the good work with your projects.

  • @stevedowning7205

    What an amazing labour of love this project is. When this is finally finished, will you be able to state how many hours of labour have gone in to the project plus the cost of materials. I suspect the final product will look fantastic, but the costs of the project will never be re-couped. I would love for you to prove me wrong!
