My Dream BMW E30 Engine Bay Restoration!

As the checklist gets smaller, the anticipation grows; and while theres still an exponential amount of work left before I can enjoy this car worry-free, I'm relieved to know the two largest and most important chunks of this restoration are complete! Applying the skills I learned while restoring the engine bay of my Miata last summer, I’ve officially checked off my second full engine bay restoration. Both times it’s felt like the body work and other preparation was never-ending, but after a months worth of work on the engine bay, ES front valence, side mirrors, and a ton of small associated bracketry -I’m finished! Now, the reassembly begins. I’m so excited to have a clean slate ready to host all of the new and restored parts to get this car back on the road! As always, I really hope you all enjoy the film, and your support and encouragement means the world to me. Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to do this stuff for a living.
