Grind Fest! BMW 530i manual V8 Rust Removal and engine troubleshooting. Project E34 Part 2

You've seen M539 Restorations and Misha Charoudin's E34 from the arctic - well this is the slightly slower Canadian version. In this episode we do check engine light troubleshooting and the sparks fly as I perform extensive rust removal around the undersides and doors.
Topics covered:
check engine light diagnosis
BMW stomp test
removal of door panels and trim
rust removal (jacking points, quarter panel, bottom of doors)
rust converter

This channel will be bmw restorations in Canada 😉😍❤

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks Karim that’s the plan!!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Your power steering leak explanation earned yourself a new subscriber, I use the same kind of humor in my videos. Looking forward to watch the rest of your videos.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks man! Need to check you out then

[@Rotarson]

Canadian edition of M539 restorations, I love it! Excited to watch the series!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks Adrian!

[@amit223]

That diagram just got to me! I literally Laughed Out Loud. All jokes aside great explanation and video!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Glad you’re liking it Amit!

[@ClassicBMWFanInQuebec]

Nice video, and good effort on the rust conversion. I hope to do the same on my E32 bottom doors. Greetings from Quebec!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Merci mon ami!

YT suggested this video (or rather the entire-build-short-video) and I'm loving it! Lovely humour and cool potential. Only gripe so far is why the output level of the music has to be so much higher than over the spoken parts. Hopefully it gets better as the videos progresses.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Welcome aboard! Yes the editing and sound gets better as does the lighting :) Thanks for watching!

@@DeadEndRestorations Thank you.

Good procedure on the rust remover. Hoping you find the idling culprit. My 740il had a cracked MAF boot, rough start and the computer compensated (replaced the boot and a CPS sensor also). Looking forward to the next video.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks Joe! Ya could be a vaccum leak as well for sure, the m60 is known for those

[@habsom1406]

I'm gonna report you to the RSPCBC...the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Bmw Clips. I have the same crusty jacking points on my e34, guess it's gonna be a trip to the welder! Nice video, sweet V8!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

I have a lengthy record at the RSPCBC so go right ahead!!! 😂 love it

[@parvizakhundov4347]

04:33 😂😂😂😂😂🤦

[@joonatansaarinen8715]

I would recomend getting compact sandblaster and just use that for the doors and other rust that rust converter really dosent work unles its really clean also when you blast it it will look much smoother after epoxy primer

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Good idea Joonatan, I’ll keep that in mind for the next project! Thanks!

[@vanjkasiki]

Nice art class, have you ever considered teaching ?? 😁😆😂 Keep it up buraz 😎

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Hvala buraz!

I have really enjoyed your videos. I live in Detroit and have exactly the same car but in red. I have owned it for 16 years but it does not go out in the winter. Even with 62000 miles it has had some issues. Right now it is the rear door cards but there have been some other, more seriuos items. If it is possible, I would like to discuss with you some issues, fixes and tricks that may help you and your viewers. This is my second e34 as I had a 535 as a daily. I was curious about the oil weight you used. I use Castro 10 40. I tried synthetic oil but had some problems with it. Anyway I love my 530 and will always keep it. Keep up the good work.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks Dennis! My email is [e-mail] drop me a line would love to chat!

[@damiancosta2588]

... but that ball busted diagram takes the cake.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

lol glad you liked it!

[@magnusll110]

Are you going to creaet a patrion as well. ?

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Definitely considering it, but probably closer to when I’m finishing up this E34 project and getting into the next one. Thx the for idea and comment, definitely helps to know that viewers are interested in the channel enough to think about patreon so thank you! 🙌

[@GalvanizedGreatness]

I like the content you’ll see me again

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Music to my ears!

[@stolenskate247]

Bro for my sanity please stop calling fenders quarter panels!! Lol great video though.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Noted lol. May try calling them halfsies at this point

[@karolnepelski]

as a gay and ex-owner of E38 I understand the leaking problems....

[@HamidRHariri]

His diagram -LOL

[@armenianman5826]

there is no video how to install the hood back..

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Its the same as before, I dropped it down and bolted in the hinge at the front

[@armenianman5826]

@@DeadEndRestorations you have need videos, so appreciated for your work. When you install the water pump new gasket do you put any RTV?

[@dennisspors7530]

Sent you an email with photos

[@edkalsbeek1765]

Too bad about the rust

[@DeadEndRestorations]

It actually ended up being better than I first expected and I don’t think I’ll need to weld in new metal, but it did make me realize a new paintjob will be necessary…

[@sl1587]

@@DeadEndRestorations cutting wheel and small welder would be good investment. bending some sheet metal can be done yourself. you have the energy go for it. rust convert just slows it. i got my welder used on fb martketplace
