Restoration Of An E46 330ci

[Music] yeah [Music] yep there [Music] finally [Music] [Applause] be managed to scrape off the worst [Music] dirt [Music] after the first round of cleaning I still need to go over it one more time turns out that I do actually have a small crack [Music] here we going grind a little bit [Music] [Applause] more [Music] I gave it a second layer of paint and um yeah looks pretty [Music] good I'll need to clean all of this replace all the bushings bearings and whatnot [Music] you see here the long little imperfections that we need to [Music] fix [Music] [Applause] [Music] so here it is better solution would prob possibly been to have it powder coated for a better finish but this is good enough for me and it cost near to nothing and I don't have involv anyone in [Music] [Music] it see yep time time will [Music] to [Music] Boom [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] we managed to disassemble it entirely and convert it to a limited [Music] slip [Music] heavy [Music] [Applause] [Music] about it's good that's what get [Applause] [Music] it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay so two layers of paint I'll just give it one more layer of paint and then let it dry look at this it's this pushing is completely yeah [Music] gone something mov [Applause] what a [Music] rusty so this is where we're at still not completely finished there's still some paint that I didn't get to all the new bearings and such I sand blasted this Hub here as [Music] well next you compress [Music] these yeah trailing arms have been painted now two layers of this and we're more or less ready to [Music] go try install [Music] this seems to be [Music] working [Music] there still have a lot of work to do but at least it's looking like a car so this how [Music] [Music] [Music] oops [Music] [Music] okay so here the semi- rebuild axles are I have installed this specialty socket which will help me pull it through I'll try not to touch the paint too [Music] much [Music] okay you to see better I started to crack how much that's the side side play you [Music] see totally depressed surface is much [Music] higher wow it's a lot tighter honestly like if you force it then there is some slack but seriously this is this is very nice we're going to try and make the stock exhaust look like new again notice how this magnet doesn't work at all because it's stainless steel doesn't look all that good [Music] [Applause] [Music] though [Music] I want to play those games with you you're [Music] [Music] ins [Music] in terms of weight doesn't matter one bit it's around 5 kilos you you ditch by going with the [Music] S the midpipe here we try to clean up as well just receive these today brand new [Music] original I get my [Music] back we'll start by removing the caliber [Music] it appears we are [Music] successful [Music] just place this to the [Music] side two coats of hammer ride this is cheap easy I can do this at home without involving anyone else in the process so this is what works best for [Music] me [Music] here you have the result of a good clean find new of these here these are pretty hard to actually Salvage but the rest of these are Fasteners here you can actually just uh green and paint that's why they are black I think originally they're a silverish [Music] color let's see if we can make it look look even [Music] better [Music] [Music] oh and here the result for now take this long ass [Music] bar [Music] there [Music] with these here cleaned I have given them a little bit of paint just some hammerite in a spray grab this one here grab this St Shield [Music] here then add this here now this here is also [Music] ready here are the brakes for which we have rebuild [Music] kits cleaning them was a bit of a messy Affair so what I have done instead is I've gone and sand blasted them and the reason why they're red here is because I've also gone and uh already painted them that doesn't mean they're rebuilt that's what we're going to do [Music] now it's going in rather smoothly this here in place [Music] pressure seems to stay the [Music] same there now the fluid coming soie water is definitely not going to cuted oops [Music] [Music] my I give [Music] back [Music] yeah and here we have the brakes how they look now there's nothing wrong with them as such and there's no excessive lip or anything but they do look kind of bad to put it [Music] mildly then we'll just wipe it down in acetona good now this is ready for [Music] paint one I'm just going to sand blast these and have them looking really nice now sand blasted and the results is is good [Music] [Applause] enough's now painted and it's looking pretty good nice and easy good there this one here I can even push in like [Music] this I think we need to paint this to have it looking good MTN textured bumper spray I think that'll look great on these [Music] yeah a lot better than before these are [Music] done yeah [Music] I and a hose and crack it open see air coming [Music] through I get back [Music] and here as [Music] well here put the wheels on this looks [Music] incredible front one [Music] I [Music] want I don't give [Music] that [Music] yeah I get my back [Music] yeah [Music] yeah I never CL you I give [Music] back don't okay I get my back [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] I get my back [Music] [Music] yeah
