A Full Restoration It Is - Project M40 Restoration Part 3

In this episode of Restore It, plans change for the M40 project as I decide to strip the car down fully, for a full restoration. Download the AutoDoc app at the link below:

The original plan for this car was just a surface level clean up, fixing all of the obvious issues like the paint, visible rust and interior issues. But after taking some parts out and giving it a clean, it didn't feel right doing a half job. It also quickly became apparent that it was the right choice.

Even though this was one of the last models of E30 BMW made, it still had all of the classic rust spots in the engine bay, on the boot lid, on the bottom of the doors and around the footwells.

The plan now is to strip the car almost completely, sort out all of the rust, give it a full respray, and restore all of the parts that were removed.

Thanks for watching! Subscribe with the bell on to see this car restored back to factory condition.
