If you want to see in-depth restoration projects, you’ve come to the right place!
I’m currently restoring a BMW E30 325i Touring. I have a BMW E30 325i Sport main project, which I will continue after the touring is finished. Additionally, I’ll be restoring all kinds of antiques, tools, car parts, and toys in between.
If you have anything you’d like me to restore for you, and you think it would make a good episode, email me at restoreitchannel@gmail.com. For any business enquiries, please use the email below.
I would lightly wire-wheel the headliner to give it a consistent texture, and then paint it with a textured paint in the color of your choice. If you upholster it again it will just fall down again.
For the future … the “finger sander” is making more work for yourself and your painter. I suggest using 1” and smaller sanding discs on a rotary tool, Dremel, or a mini random orbit. You won’t gouge the body like you see here in the dent removal shots.
The Kohler K361 was very similar. They made very few in the late 70's. They couldn't get oil to the top. Briggs made a few overhead valve engines in the 1920's other then hit and miss. Modern OHV engines seem to have the bugs worked out.
Hi Steve, I'm just about to embark on a bit of an overwhelming restauration project on my car and I wanted to ask you what tools you would recommend for a beginner? I see you use the pneumatic cut off wheel and finger sander on almost all your repairs these days as opposed to other cutting tools you used in the past. I've got to cut out and make up new floor pans mostly. Cheers
Disston did vanish his saw handles. When the boiled linseed has fully dried, the vanish will take. I normally spray vanish the saw screws separately before assembly. Best wishes, Veronique.
