How Bad Is It ?? : Colin Furze BMW E30. 

great work guys, seeing the old repair straight over the rust and you grinding it out and patching it properly is a joy to watch, i'm working just as hard on giving it a garage it deserves........just wish the weather would change

That mans fabricating skills are an utter joy to watch.

That métal work is like sculpting. It's art. You have gold in you hands guys.

This just goes to show that car restoration is an art as much as it is a science

One comment; dust masks. I worked at Barnsley Hospital in the mid 1990s and watched an autopsy of an ex-miner who died aged 70. He looked like he was in quite good shape and all his internal organs were fine, except his lungs, which were clogged with coal dust. So much so that the pathologist dipped a finger into the soup and was able to paint black lines with it. She said, "Apart from being dead, this man was in pretty good health." I would imagine inhaling lots of rust over a lifetime could have a similar effect.

This is just insane. I cannot believe there are people who will brave the noise, the cold (I could see your breath there), the dirt, the smells and then have the patience to fabricate all those intricate parts. It is simply insane. And, by the way, congrats for reaching 100K !!!

Nice repairs, using that air chisel and grinder without ear defenders and using a mig welder without a full welding helmet is crazy, how do you not get arc eye. My dad is 62 years old now with hearing aids from industrial deafness. He wishes someone gave him a hard time about not wearing ear defenders.

making damaged pieces from scratch, hats off to you sir, true master at work

This video perfectly illustrates why restorations cost what they do: the amount of hours and detail that goes into fabricating parts that'll never be seen is extraordinary! I hope you're all proud of your work. From my perspective, it's just a pleasure to watch.

It doesn’t look too bad, closely followed by parts literally dissolving in the hand 😆 Great to watch cars being saved like this 👍🏻

That car will get some serious weight with you!! 😂😂 I hope you're still taking all the rust and putting it in the box as you showed in the first vids, it'll be very funny to see how much it is in the end 😅

Just a small amount of rust then so far, she’s in a bit of a state but I know Colin will give you all the time you need to get it done properly, that’s what I like about Colin, he appreciates all this work because of what he does and he’ll make sure you’re looked after, great work so far and I’m so glad Alex and Colin led me to your channel guys, great content 👌

I absolutely LOVE watching a genuine master practicing his craft. Your metalworking is addictive to witness. Thank you for sharing!

the attention to detail you guys go to & the care you put into each restoration is amazing. well done all, great series to watch

Steve you are the best in the business I'm happy Ryan is working with you now

The needle gun brings back fond memories of standing inside Darrell Lea chocolate tanks grinding and chipping rust. 😂

These guys are some of the best metal workers l have ever seen.

Its a pleasure to watch true craftsman at work.

i like how you are rebuilding an entire car two square inches at a time

This is like a class on Black Smiting and welding. Wish there were people this good in the states. Spending thousands on my Camaro only to have the body shop weld over the rust and call it done with out telling me is what turned my poor car in to scrap after a few years. Nice to see it done well and right.

Very nice sheet metal work. You're going to have a shit-ton of hours into this car by the time you're done. Thanks for the video.

It's going to be more of a YMW than a BMW when it's finished. Loving this series, amazing what's being done to bring the car back to life

It amazes me every time I see you making a part to weld into a rusted-out car especially since the original part was stamped out on a machine that weighs more than at least two cars. Love watching you work and bring back old cars to their former glory.

Amazing job. There's alot of rust. I love E30's So happy it's getting restored. If I was Colin. I would definitely remove the wipers for the headlight/highbeam. They are not just ugly, but basically pointless.

have to agree watching him cut, shape, fit the pieces is an absolute pleasure to watch.

I can't imaging the number of hours this repair will take. What patience and skill! Kudo 's to you and your team.

You guys are pure masters at this. Fascinating to watch, considering I couldn't make a wooden box Well done lads

This is a prequel to that video about watching paint dry! Except this isn't boring

I've just watched a craftsman, and it was a pleasure to see.

I, like many others I suspect, hadn't realised just how much work goes into proper rust repair. You are effectively making a brand new car.

A joy to watch as many others have said. Great work and congratulations on 100k, well deserved!

That metalwork is better than the day it came out of the factory. What amazing skill!

In awe at the master craftsmanship

Great to watch craftsmen at work.

Steve putting in the work, Colin's very lucky except with the rust. You guys are on it so the rust will soon be gone

14:12 - 22:21 I never get tired of looking at some well-executed craftsmanship. Nice work. 👍

Pure craftsmanship

"It's not too bad really"... This has genuinely put me off buying an old E30, I just could not afford for what seems to be an okay car to end up being like this. Scary stuff, but you boys are doing a cracking job.

Love how you described it as 'not too bad' every time you uncovered more rot my heart sank lol

This is craftsmanship at its best, a joy to watch. 😊

It’s not getting shoved into the nearby cut then 😂. Good to see it coming together. Bit more ripe than expected from a late E30 but will be nice to see the end results.

Nice to see that the old sheet metalworking skills are still being used.Takes me back. Nice work.

Thanks for the video. Great work as always. You should do zoom calls with Mat, Colin, and Alex. Like an update as to where you are on their cars. You could have Mat jetting around the world while you are slaving away on his car in the cold. Or you could have the laptop laying by Ryan while he's sleeping under Roger, and Alex zooms onto the laptop, wakes Ryan up, and tells him "Back to work!". You could have alot of fun with it. They could be shorts that you can sprinkle between the regular videos. Love your work.

Did you say on the live stream that you were all self taught?! Wonderful!!!👏👏👏

Big question is where to begin. Looks like a never ending task. Great job. 😊

Agreed I wish I had the tools and the time to recreate original parts like these guys great job.

Great work, looks so much better than the over repair panels. 👍

Can't wait for the UR is on the go.

That man is blacksmithing himself a BMW.

As the e30 is my favourite car very closely followed by the 2002tii and e28 it's heart warming to see all the restorations by YT creators. Judging by all the other cars inside these are the guys you call

Proper job!. Nice one!. Reckon it was only the paint holding that car together!. 🤣

I used to be a fabricator /welder and know how mutch time it takes to get it just right ,really nice work it kinda takes me back to my workshop days it seemed like a jigsaw puzzle that you are makeing the peices for im following this resto and great work 👍

Beautiful work and skills. So extremely interesting. Keep safe.

Like many of your fans, Steve, I just love watching you fabricate. Nice one.

Could watch this all day, very therapeutic seeing it get some TLC....🤔😏😏🇬🇧

What a joy to watch.

I am glad I came across this channel. I've found some rust around windscreen in my 99 Civic which after cutting out the windscreen looks pretty bad, so will require some fabrication. I am not panel beater or body shop technician so anything what you're doing giving me rough idea how I need to repair my car. I would like to see episode where you can recommend some products for finishing job after welding like epoxy primers, panel bonds and adhesives. I really struggle to find products which don't break the bank and are still good for amature repairs.

Amazing workmanship.

love watching this kind of content on a cold wet day with a nice warm brew! the logic and just working away bit by bit. great job fellas keep em coming!

the work going into this is unreal, fair play

I am amazed. You are really an artist as well. Amazing work. (New Zealand).

i could watch this all day everyday, so nice to see skills at work

That’s some talent there! Great job and amazing to watch the transformation happen literally in front of our eyes. ❤❤❤❤

Every time I look at your work I'm so speechless that I don't even know what to write below 😉

Ya got your hands full boys. You sure make it look like you an handle it. Merry Christmas from Florida

I did a lot of needle gunning in the Navy what a messy and loud tool to use but they are very effective at getting rust off.

I love watching these videos. its always interesting seeing how people approach and fix things.

I'm surprised you guys don't have a sandblasting booth. You know, the fellas at BlastOne could fabricate one for your garage. If you give them a shout tell them Alex F. referred you. It'd be a good addition to your shop 👍

Very Satisfying to watch.. waiting more videos and i wanna see the whole car done

Wonderfull workmanship there, that plate with the big hole, I thought gracious me that would need to be removed and remade.🚙 But you tackled it well and just cut off the rusty edges and made it good. Thanks for posting.🚖

Great fabrication good to see some proper metal work skills being used.

That was a lovely bit patching up, you would never guess you worked on it.

You ever think about putting some propane heaters in and around the shop,make it a little more bearable.just saying.your talent just keeps coming thru every time you touch a piece of metal.great video as always.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Super stimulating to watch your processes in this video alone! What a great series!

Your fabricating skills are second to none. Keep up the good work 👍

A master at his craft, nice to watch indeed.

Absolutely amazing work!

You'll never beat natural talent!😊

Great Work, But can I ask is there any reason why you have left the Headlights, Grilles and Lower Apron on the Vehicle ? Also Great Craftmanship and Skill. Love It, Keep em coming. Cheers from George in Adelaide, Australia

I can watch this for hours

It would be interesting to know how long you actually spend on one of these repairs it looks like a very long time so your dedication is so impressive

This video is mesmerising. You have some artisan level craftmanship. I hate to think how much this would cost. Surely it's cheaper to scrap the chassis and get another one fabricated. Great work.

What an amazing fabricator. ✊🏻

Pure satisfaction to watch!

By far the greatest find on RU-vid, thanks Colin and thanks chaps! How rusty is that BMW, has it been parked in the sea? Love the format, nice and relaxing way to unwind watching quality work. Cheers!!

A true artist at work, unbelieve great video 👍

i'm not sure whether BMW chassis were treated when manufactured, i have a 25 year old Audi S3 which i am stripping and cleaning up for respray (changing from black to light blue), and i have to say i am amazed at how good it is condition wise, barely any rust, even the undersides of the doors are not that bad, only the drivers door needs a little welding attention, you'd think as normal the passenger side (in the UK) would suffer worst the only thing that concerned me the most, was when i finally get the new paint job, all the trim and everything will look a little on the tatty side, all the plastics looking their age, faded a dirty dusty grey and i hate to use silicon products as they don't last but i have found soaking everything in soapy water, a good clean up with gun wash, and then found an amazing product that brings back all that black trim back to looking almost new, can't say what it is as i am still developing it

Congratulations on your 100k+ subscribers, well done.

Mesmerising! Such skill 👏🏻

I have a couple questions. 1. Why not get the undercarriage sandblasted before doing the rust repair and 2. Why don't shops in England ever have heat?

Feck me ....Guys you are sheer Artists. Huge Kudos to all of you.

Incredible welding work, such a skill and so enjoyable to watch. Thanks!

Krásná a pečlivá práce.Gratuluji

That steel forming at about the 25 minute nark is excellent. I've got to make a bit for my Ford Puma and it's given me the knowledge.

Outstanding attention to detail. You never cease to amaze me. I sit watching these videos...i think it is therapy....thanks guys.

Phenomenal work

Sir, you are a talented fabricator and welder both are arts in and of themselves.

First of all, great job again. What always amazes me, is that you completely grind away all the weld seams. Will there be enough strength left?

Hi guys I'm loving these videos. Makes me excited to get back in my garage. Keep up the excellent work!

great job, Steve, well done 👍
