Watching cars being given a deep clean and polish is always very satisfiying
I'd really suggest claying the paint before cutting if you do something like this again. It'll take the dirt out of the paint and this will enable the polisher to do a much better and easier job.
I hate typing this, because everyone has an opinion on detailing and all of them are different. That said, I'd use a paint cleaner, THEN clay, so as not to go through 3 claybars. I might even take the time to use a glaze after the polish, just to condition the paint a bit more before waxing.
That said, the finished product still looks 100% better. Very satisfying video.
@@gamby16a Good idea, makes sense to use the iron and tar remover first, especially if the lacquer layer is still thick enough.
I'd also suggest trying a clay mitt or towel instead of a bar, along with a lot of soapy water. Way faster than a clay bar.
Ahhhh I’ve been keeping my out for this one... Make sure to hit me up before you sell it! Can’t wait!
Fast becoming an icon,,,,,,,best act when opportunity presents itself.
11:32 - anyone else could hear the car go "Aaaaaah, thanks man!" 🤣?! Great job!
Such a difference, just shows what a bit of elbow grease can do and serves as a reminder for me to clean my car too.
11 years ago, I drug home a "78 320 i and stuck it in my shop. It was not running and last tagged in "05. You're video has given me inspiration to get that baby on the road.
Can't wait! Thanks Mike
I love these old BMWs from when I was young. Also shows that BMW was once able to make something reliable.
WOW she looks a million times better, Absolutely outstanding work.
Price just went up by $500 after cleaning up car.
Your love and energy for these legends is extremely motivating. Stay safe and take care, Michael😎👍. Cheers from Germany.
Day and Night Looking Good coming together real nice
Glad these e21s are being loved again!
Do a video on restoring those wheels, man. Those things would look awesome polished and clear coated.
Wow. I thought that car had a grungy black paint job until you started cleaning up that engine bay. That blue color is beautiful
Your effort added a ton of value to that car without spending much money to accomplish it. A great :budget build”.
It's really great that the aggressive cleaners and the remains of the operating fluids from the engine compartment get into the environment. Here in Germany you would pay a fine of thousands of euros for it.
omg those us bumpers are so grim
He called them ‘Euro Spec’ I think! They’re definitely US Federal bumpers it’s the ‘Euro Spec’ ones he’s looking for!
@@markbennett6658 Yep.
those are a US thing for sure. we do not have them horrendous things over here in europe. make me shudder just to look at. most european cars had them in america but not over here. the caddy had similar big ugly bumpers to if i remeber correctly. i've seen us imports of VW bugs with them to first thing us brits do is rip the monstrosities off
Yes that was the law from I think 1974 on. Cars had to absorb I think 5 mph in the front with no damage and 2 and 1/2 mph in the rear. When the law first came out it ruined the appearances of cars like the Camaro. In time they made it where bumpers could be incorporated into the body of the car which is what we have now. Around this same time pollution controls were required which cut back on the efficiency and performance of motors. We went from having great looking fast cars in the late 1960s to ugly inefficient crap in the 70s. And then along came Toyota.
@@robertwoodpa6463 LOL. Yea that pretty much sums the whole thing up.
Yes, please more of the rescue classic BMW.
Man those bumpers you got in the US were 🤮 handy for holdin a beer though! 🤣
That paint came out amazingly well. I remember when I used to have the energy and ambition to detail my car. Now I just let the rain take care of it lol. Haven't waxed a car in 20 years.
Cannot believe someone put an M badge on the old girl. Who did Fred think he was fooling? That needs to come off, lol
Agreed, he should pull it off.
E21 owners around the world agree with you.
those horrendous US spec bumpers can join the M badge in the bin to
Hey Michael - that trick with the Dawn in the hose nozzle works pretty well! I’d suggest splurging on a quick-disconnect so that it is easier to replenish the soap solution on the fly.
i like how the paint has faded on the hood, it looks like lightning, i would leave it like that.
After watching this I’m kicking myself for ever junking my first car - 1980 BMW 528i. Love this body style.
Great job ! You really gave that car a second chance at life.
I have never seen a better detail.... Night and day difference.
Oh you need to get a stencil made and put your mark on the inside of the Hood . Let people know your work
Nice work, man.
In the UK here those shark nose BMWs are going up in value. Nice work cleaning it up. I think it deserves a couple of new BMW badges though?
Huge BMW fan here, I’m so jealous of you for that car
Absolutely beautiful save! The vintage patina is so cool…congratulations!
Yes so glad you've uploaded this ❤️
Fred would be happy to see his old car getting the shine put back on
That thing looks Super Clean!
Great video 💖
Amazing stuff. Definitely makes me happy to see people doing things like this without 500k+ worth of shop.
Our favorite video is the one where you got the volkswagon rabbit running + driving that was buried out in the woods.
Looks so good. That car needs a euro bumper conversion asap.
Everyone is doing that. There's soon gonna be time people will be looking for these thick bumpers and converting back to them. Like them or not, they are the original that sold with the car.
@@uzivatel56, it's all about looks and the US bumpers don't look good at all.
As I remembered, you had BMW E21 in the last videos.
At the end of the day it turned out really nice and it’s not a museum piece but you could’ve helped yourself by claying before compound. the best thing commercially available for moldings etc is cerakote and I believe Walmart is carrying it now.
Cerakote is amazing. Used it on my 16 year old merc and it restored all the black trim. Put it on 3 months ago and still looks fresh.
Wonderful job on this. These e21's are coming of age given the 2002 and e30 models booming, so seeing this one come back to life is appreciated.
Those BMW are so pretty looking. Specially without the bench seat american bumpers.
It's amazing how from hard work little bit of money that you can turn something around. A few years back I bought a Ford expedition that ran fantastic. When I read the ad and saw the mileage and the money I figured something wasn't right. Had pictures of the outside which the paint was in bad shape from never being waxed or clean. That didn't bother me so I set up to go see it. When the person opened the doors for me the inside was a disaster. There was buttons broken switches snapped off and the guy let his kids play in the car as it was a toy or something. Even after seeing all of that I decided to go ahead and buy it but I even offered him less money than he was asking. At first he said no and then his wife said do you have the money on you and can you take the car with you. So once I came home was it I went around and made a list of what was broken and needed fixing.
As the parts were coming in I started cleaning everything. After just fixing all the cosmetic things I was having neighbors stopping by asking me if it was still for sale. Like you're BMW they wrote on the windows for sale and I hadn't done anything with the glass to that point. I had neighbors offering me twice the amount that I had spent and I still hadn't even finished making every part shine. After seeing that it just blows me away how people leave money by simply being too lazy just to clean something.
I love what you have done so far with this car. It just shows some hard work really does pay off.
Look forward to watching the next video.
this channel is my new car TV show! please keep doing everything that you do, from restarting sitting cars to detailing them
I sure wish we could've seen the whole rescue on this beauty. It really cleaned up nice considering paint condition. Thanks for the content. Consider using a clay bar instead of a shop rag to lift that final garbage from the paint. It real is a budget friendly produce too. Thanks again for the great video!
A tip a friend of mine once gave me, he's a spray painter. When you wash and clean a car always start from the roof and work your way down. That way any gunk goes over dirty panels, not clean ones
Wow... Unbelievable how that old paint came back so nice and shiny! Great video!
Michael, so glad you didn't turn the vid into a commercial for a ceramic sealer. Great vid.
ofcoures we wanto see more..allot more.. love these old bmws.. and mercedes volkswagens etc.. just keep m coming
Wow, what a difference to the paint after not too much DM work
Wow!! I want more of this car.
WOW great to see an old 320I being restored. I had an old bmw 2002 back in the day and always admired the 320I . Great content .. Enjoy your channel almost 100k congrats!
Mike
You have done a Magnifficent job detaling that motor it looks like new car outside I love this stuff would like see more car flipping this chanel is so cool none in the uk in this class
Phil in the UK
Great video: I really like 303 UV protectant spray for rubber/plastic trim pieces.
You did a really nice job on that old Beemer. If it were mine, I would have to do a respray. Glad to hear that you are getting rid of those UGLY bumpers.
Looks awesome, the patina on the paint gives it originality and honesty 👍🏻
Really love the blue on this car,
Gave that Bemer a 2nd life! Great job!
Your'e almost at that 100k mark soon soon my Bud.
Wunderbar! Wieder ein Fahrzeug gerettet!
The difference is NIGHT and DAY! Gorgeous work
Awesome work guy, love seeing old cars destined to be scrapped given a new lease on life and to be enjoyed once again
That front bumber... Great job !
for anyone questioning why he's using tire shine on the mirrors and exterior trim, it's because they're all made of rubber. tire shine isn't just limited to the tires on your car, it can be used in a wide variety of applications.
Love them 'bringing back to life' videos.Great job!
Great job. The bonnet has a nice patina, like looking at a blue sky. I'd leave it as is.
320I. A landmark car for BMW. Definitely a project car worth saving and going through. 👍
As they say...."It's got good bones."
I really like the patina on the car especially the hood
Wow what a difference excellent work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
I think you did an incredible job. Now, about those BMW badges, trim molding piece, fogs and interior...
Great job... love these old BMW's.. keep the builds coming !
I actually really love the patina, it tells a story
It distracts from an other wise well detailed car. We car guys think ratty is cool, the general public just see a junky old car....Patine should go the way of the MONOCOLOR look of the 90's
@@johnhansen4550 I agree, to me "Patina" = I'm too bog arsed lazy to do the job properly.
i absolutely love those old bimmers
WOW! The first american i see here detailing the engine bay.
What a satisfying video to watch. You did a great job on one of my favorite BMW models. They were new when I was in high school...hehehe
Burnt through? Patina my friend! Survivor car!
Wow, you have got yourself a real rare collectors car looking good and original worth quite a lot of money over here in the UK. keep on rescuing these cars please do a follow up on the interior keep it as original as possible love watching you turn these around amazing what you can achieve with some good old fashioned hard work and elbow grease.
Wow! What a difference a little elbow grease makes! Great job!
The BMW E21 looks awesome!
Amazing results. It is like a different car. It would have been criminal if it had been scrapped. The icing on the cake would be to do something about those US spec bumpers.
Nice work dude, you deserve a medal for just rescuing that beauty. I've always loved E21s and it would have been a crime for it to be scrapped when the bodywork is rust free. Looks very respectable and pretty after all your hard work. Because the body is rust free, I'd be tempted to give it a full respray, bring it up to showroom condition as these are becoming collectable. I've had 3 e21s and agree with you, those wheels suit it best imo. Like your choice of background music, uplifting and happy just like the e21. Looking forward to the interior details too, it's a nice colour combo. Keep up the great work dude.
Sweet! My Dad had a gold one of these, happy memories 😊
How satisfying was that! Good job.
Back to Black for the trim is the best back in my mk2 days
Fantastic job. You completely changed the cars looks 👍
Amazing detailing sir, well done 👍
Great work, what a lovely old bmw it is now 👍👍
Oh man...what a difference! I love it!
I had a 1977 320i in high-school in the early 90s.. fun little car
This car deserve a second oportunity
The car looks beautiful Michael. Good job! 👍
I owned one of the these. Wonderful cars that sadly get overlooked by BMW enthusiasts. Just an FYI, there's two ways to do the bumper tuck. The easy way is to drill holes into and compress the bumper shocks then trim the rubber side bellows. But the preferred way is to replace with the Euro bumpers, which have be special ordered. Maximiian Imports sells these but as these cars have been out of production for four decades, these aren't cheap or easy to find. You might also try fitting late e30 bumpers. They fit but aren't correct for the car. Thanks for rescuing this classic!
Great job with the paint work, looks amazing and spurs me on to detailing my 1992 BMW 318IS coupe. Thanks
Very nice survivor.Great detailing job !
Love the BMW's!!! For future knowledge use a heat gun very lightly on the old oxidized black plastic parts. It lightly heats the surface and lasts a lot longer than just a liquid surface treatment! Love the show! Keep it going!
Makes me want to get back in the garage and get my e21 running again! Great job!
Always loved these cars looks great after all the work. Awesome job
Good job, love those little BMW.
Amazing what a wash and polish can do. Well done!
Looks great! I drove a blue 1976 2002 for many years, still miss that car. You should splurge and buy a couple of new rondel emblems for the car, you’ll be surprised how much that will dress her up.
Amazing results, different car! Love the music you guys use
I've done the same thing with the tire spray - stuff works great!
these are the underloved model in the BMW enthusiast world. definitely have it's share of followers but pales in cult status compared to the previous 2002 and the next e30. these with Euro bumpers on them look really really good along with a 15" Alpina wheel. funny that BMW sold these like hotcakes when they came out and made them a ton of profits. front suspension isn't the best for track use but they do ride nice! well done!
