+jasper6004 haha, thanks but the corner itself is from other car. I dont have the tools to make that corner. Well you could try to cut it and bend it but it would take a lot of time.
Curious what gauge metal you use for patch panels and also what size wire do you use on your welder? I keep blowing through on lowest settings, .8mm wire
hello, im restoring my e30 1987 4 door. and my sills are rotten on the inside. i am doing this alone but do you have any tips on how to change that? i have very small experiance with welding and i did some patching but replacing intire sill looks intimidating.
How would you go about replacing the sunroof with a slick top. I've got major rust on the sunroof rail seams and I'm considering just replacing the whole roof with sheet metal and adding support beams across.
Wow, roof is somethings i havent still done. I think it would be hard, because its just thin sheet metal and at a such scale it would easily warp. I would suggest to get a brand new or donor roof and replace it as its done in factory. Good luck man. Send me some pics from process in IG.
This is great. Thank you. Like a previous commenter said i would have loved to see more about the creation of the corner fender where it's bent. Also would love to see you tackle other side. Cheers!
Red stuff is wash primer : “A wash primer is a synthetic primer that usually contains zinc chromate or phosphoric acid. It is used as a first coat on metal surfaces and has anticorrosion properties, making it a prerequisite or pretreatment before any coating application.”
+Ricky Rackzzz This took me about 24h to make that would be 3 full working days 1 working day is 167eur for welding in our shop. So that is 501eur for labor only + around 70eur for consumables. It depend how rusted the pocket is, it could possably be more. And this was a “fast” fix.
students 😩 I have the same problem on both sides not as bad but I have yet to fully investigate. Its so hard having a e30 in chicago, where they have more salt than snow. Thanks for the reply!
very nice ! i think this kind of video help every non professional to work on his e30. in a few weeks i will watsh this video agan, when i fight against this well known spot :P

@@studentsE30 hey you got your likes! Get to working!!!
Post more about welding and bodywork, looking great =)
Is there any specific part you're interested in?
@@studentsE30 Where am I from, 80% of E30s require welding of the whole body, so everything is interesting =)
@@studentsE30 Can you make a video of welding the front floor corners by the jacking point (external corner below fenders)?
+Toms Bogatijs yea, every single e30 around here needs to weld those corners. When ill have a chance ill try to make an explanatory video.
Can you tell more about how you shaped that corner? It has double a curve in two directions. You managed to match the original perfectly great job!

Lots of work but very very well worth it
Poor repairs stick out like a sore thumb.

That was the purpose of this video. ❤️

@18:08 had me perplexed had to re watch several times till i final understood how genius that was. Amazing job!!!
Dude, super sick video, thank you and definitely do more! Currently trying to find if anyone’s done the roof & sun roof
Nice metal work! About to replace the exact same locations on my 85e325.
An artist at work! Lots of useful techniques.
Great job! Which device did you use at the end the spray er? I’ve never seen this. Where can I get one? Thanks

Wow! Awesome work man! You are allowed to do rust repair on my e30 at any time 👍🏻😜
crazy skills, inspired to say the least
Amazing job. What’s the bumper texture spray product you used here?
Nice job. I hope to see more videos like that 🙏 Greatings from Finland
Hey, thanks! Definetly more videos in the future!
Nice job man, what kind of wielding primer do you use?
I belive it was zinc primer, there are specific weld thru primers.
Curious what gauge metal you use for patch panels and also what size wire do you use on your welder?
I keep blowing through on lowest settings, .8mm wire
Cool stuff
Hola, estoy cambiando la parte trasera de mi e30, me sirvió mucho

good job. would hope you would replace the rear right inner wheel wells.. need inspiration lol
I have to put in a new battery box for my e36 M3. Thanks for the video!!!
Great video! highly skilled man!✌
Good job, impressed! Why on earth do people weld a new piece of steel over an already rusted part?
Fair play mate your work is outstanding 👏

most amazing welds
What's the spray u use to spray the panels?
If you mean the one i use between the panels before welding, It’s zink spray.
@@studentsE30 exactly what I meant! Thank you very much :)
Good job on the repair. Keep the content coming, its very interesting.
What primer do you use for recent weld parts ? or its a zinc spray ?
Yes, zinc and weld through primer.
Hey, i have ruste over gastank on my e30 ix do you have video of that?
Maybe the newest video can help you. Which part over gastank?
How do I get mine done
do you have any videos rust repairing the front top strut mounts in the engine bay
Blake Sirois Nope, wasnt filming then. Just some pics on instagram. Removed the whole strut.
You’re an artist!
Good
good job bud whats the cost of this job
Well it was around 24h of work, so it would be around 500e just for the labor. It depends how far the rust has gone. This was pretty bad.
This is great. Thank you. Like a previous commenter said i would have loved to see more about the creation of the corner fender where it's bent. Also would love to see you tackle other side. Cheers!
What gauge steel are you using ?
0.8 , 1,5 and 2mm are my comonly used steel thickness.
What was that orange stuff you put on there and the silver blue stuff?
Are you talking about orange(red) primer or yellowish underbody coating? The blue silver(silver) color is zink primer using it as weld thru primer.
@@studentsE30 just the red primer what is that?
Red stuff is wash primer :
“A wash primer is a synthetic primer that usually contains zinc chromate or phosphoric acid. It is used as a first coat on metal surfaces and has anticorrosion properties, making it a prerequisite or pretreatment before any coating application.”
@@studentsE30 thanks
