"A stiff jack is never fun" good to know...
Haha...
Oh you sussy boi
Can’t wait for you to start the 325i. It’s why I started watching your videos. And. I’ve watched them all.
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything 💪🏻 Great work!
I love your content. It's always relaxing and inspiring. 🥰🥰🥰
Just did the same on mine! I'm glad it was only rusty at the bottom :D
I didn't disassemble it as much as you did (removing the handle and all that). Really great to see you going full restoration on this bad boy, always love your vids!
Oh nice! And I'm glad you enjoyed it man!
Excellent work!!as usual!!!
Cheers Daniele!
man.. I've been following you since you did the engine cover restoration, and it was your channel that got me to binge watch every other restoration video on youtube hahahha. As you went along, you'd post other E30 parts, and I was wondering if you'd do an entire car, and BAM you did! I can't wait until the OG E30 work continues!! It's what we've all been waiting for!! XD. This is such a nice segway to the return of working on that car! NICE!
A die grinder with a cut off wheel would be your in between option for cutting welds. Great video!
Nice work Steve. Maybe you can experiment with tin with areas like the bottom of the jack where you have heavy pitting
I've seen some people use a flame torch to melt tin onto metal as opposed to using body filler then smoothing it down and then using a very thin layer of body filler or stop putty.
Then the old magnet on the bodywork to check filler work on car bodies is a bit redundant in this case.
Just an idea.
Just amazing! I love your attention to detail and abilities that I can never hope to obtain.
Well done again!
can´t wait to see the finished Mercedes! What an painful but amazing journey that car must have been for you. Thanks for the videos
Lovely job, I really enjoyed that, liked and subscribed.
Great work!
Good👍👍
Awesome!
I restored a set of e21 seat rails, they were very rusted out, and when parts can be taken apart it makes it so easy to restore like you did here cutting parts of the jack and it gave the best result
I agree, cheers Dillan!
Beautiful job as always!
Impossibly great work. I am amazed with it.
Nice good Work it Look now very good and is a next Part for a Restauration BMW Project ❤️👍❤️
Espectacular!!!
Amazing video. You always make things look so good. I hope my c10 build comes out half as nice.
Love all your dedication for detail and perfection, and I also know you're keen on painting everything, but for this kind of equipment you should investigate powder coating, it gives you that super smooth finish that is baked onto the metal and is really durable. Just a suggestion! Keep up the videos really enjoy them!
Great project, well done. 👍
Really neat, love this effort. 👍🏻👋🏻
Love your work 👍
I don’t believe there is a tool for removing that pinch on the rod. It’s permanent and not meant to be taken apart since these were only made for emergency situations. It’s cost effective but a pain in the butt for someone like you who makes everything look brand new. Correct me if I’m wrong and please share if there is in face some tool that works in this situation. Keep up the killer work man, you’re probably my favorite resto channel to watch at least in my top three. Can’t wait to see the car done, you’ve come a long way, I remember chatting it up a few years ago when you first started. Much love from Southern California.
Ive been waiting for this. Have wanted to restore my jack from my e28!
Attention to detail right on,just keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks as always ,Tom!
Keep up the good work!
Great work as always! I’d look to add some rubber padding permanently to the seat and bottom of the jack so there is no need to carry around the additional cloth and pad. I’m sure there would be a way to keep the oem look.
I better add my jack to the list of restorations now
your painting results are great
Thanks Wolf!
Hey, a stiff Jack can be a good thing especially after a long workday! 🥃
Looking so nice 👍, better than fabrics. Cheers
Is that a new e30 touring? That looks to be in a desirable spec
Its not new, but it is a 325i which imo is the best one. Cheers
....good one, nice job, keep safe...
excellent job mate
Thanks mate!
Been a while Steve! I have been around, just been away for a while.
Your welds are really starting to look excellent bud!
From an e30 owner, i can't stand that jack (😄). It's meant to sit on the lip of the seal at the bottom of the chassis, but on mine it's really sketchy. Basicaly digging into the bottom of the car before properly lifting the car. And i don't want to risk damaging the welded lip at all, seing all the previous attempt on the car that bent the lip. It's in the car in last resort but i always use a floor jack with a pad, lifting from the chassis point described in the manual.
sick jack dood
Thanks dog!
thank you)) I'm also restoring the e30 touring
Pavel.k.O_o
Wonderful work mate! I feel your pain puttning that plastic piece the wrong way😐
don’t be too harsh on yourself - i was just thinking at the beginning I’d have probably welded the head back on without putting the lifting arm back in!
It looks new again great restoration!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for the support of your channel
I've subscribed to your channel
I "restored" mine several years ago. I have never used it and don't intend to 🙏. On my car, there is a wheel chock that goes with the jack - not sure if your car came so equipped?
Great job and thank you for the videos! 😀
In my opinion that looks better than factory.
Thanks dude!
yup this jack is great also used it on other cars
Good ol' BMW
Amazing job on that Jack! I can’t wait see the 325i sport again. Did this Jack come from the sport?
More great work!🇦🇺👴🏻
I think the two tack welds on the bevel gear @ handle shaft is going to be the weak point.. but it seems to work in the test.
There is almost no axial load on the welds...they are just there to make sure you can't pull out the handle
Edit: *smartassmode off*
👌🏻
love that passion I share the same. just not enough time.
Máquina
Thanks!
Haha, i did some "spot repair" on mine, too. Mine has a cap saying "Bilstein-Heber" on it, though and has a slightly different gear setup. Maybe Bilstein produced a different version of it, that BMW also used in their cars🤷♂️
Oh, and currently its the only jack i own that can lift a stock E30 with the extra-high standard suspension high enough to get the wheel off the ground🤣🤣
Why you don't powder coat it?
Project M40??
🇧🇷👏
Steel wait for e30 🤤
3rd Lift
Nice Job- Rather than weld the handle back I would of drilled a hole and used a split pin or a Circlip, mounting rubber on the bottom of the jack would ne a great idea also
Dont want to sound like a smartass but if you drill a hole like you suggest the handle would most probably break there while in use. The stress would concentrate at that place
@@alexs8710 you misunderstand me. Im referring to just in front of the cog just to stop it from moving. Little to no force would cause it to fail
TFS
I don't think that factory would do such a nice paint job.
The filler part is a bit much for but great work anyways some times u have to remember these cars are hand built and everythink isnt perfect from the factory
Sorry to say they did not look that good when they came out of the factory. most were only good enough to curse at, and you had to hope that if you wanted to use it that it would actually work, seeing as the factory seemingly had one tiny cup of grease they were using on the entire production run, and it had to last 20 years of production. They did however have plenty of rust though, plus painted them into a solid block.
Damn I have the original on in my E30 and I always found it easy to use and way better than any jack in any of my friends car ! I like the sound it make when you lift the car also it s real easy to lift the car !
Like before the video starts 🤓
Much appreciated, Joshua!
Now you need to protect the paint of the jack...
Aren't these jacks known as widowmakers?
That's a heavy jack
Ah yes. Antenna gasket failure.
That type of jack.always gave me the fear. Better off with a bottle jack.
Szpachli nie nakłada sie na goły metal.
WHYYYY USE FILLER !!!! Please look in to lead welding or welding slag buildup that would be better to rub down to a solid
I was thinking this. I'll see how well the bottom holds up with the piece of rubber and if its not working i'll redo the bottom with the welder, or maybe even look into lead welding. Cheers!
Np matey enjoy
I would have never guessed that puny jack could lift that car so easily.
Это ахуенный домкрат
I think, should not weld the gear handle, better to make a small grave then you can use spring clip, easy to remove in future, anyway there is no load on it, just to keep in place.
Thats a good idea, cheers Bee!
Knolling*
You're right!
My favourite bit was when you restored the 700kg Emergency Jack.
While the restoration was good, it was a waste of your time. There are a TON of these jacks available in like new conditions from any salvage yard. I personally have 5 or 6 of these bought from salvage yards over the years for like $5
You miss the point. This is a restoration channel not a "get it done for the lowest price" channel.
