The #1 Rust Spot on a BMW E30, Fixed | BMW E30 325i Touring Restoration - Part 6
Win This 1989 BMW E30 325i Touring - Follow me on Raffall to know when the competition starts - raffall.com/restore_it
In this episode of Restore It, I tackle the tricky and infamous NOT jacking point on the E30. Many people mistake this spot for a jacking spot, the metal bends, the underseal breaks, moisture gets in, and the rust begins. This has to be one of the most common spots of rust on all of the BMW E30s. In episode 6, I'm taking you through what I did to replace the rust with good matching metal to bring it back to factory specs.
I also deal with three more simple rust spots in the right footwell, behind the pedals. Although simple in theory, they are an absolute pain to get to. Finally, I replaced the old rusty throttle pedal bracket with E30 Garage Norway's matching facelift version.

I cannot find anyone to work on this - apparently its a skill no one learns any longer. Please suggest how to find someone to do this type of work, how do i find them, what do i look for, or what question do I need to ask to ensure they are reputable.

    Good stuff, you're more thorough than I was when I was starting off but your welding needs a bit of practice though! The welds look like either the voltage is too low but it could just be a case of angling the MIG torch at 45 degrees so the weld isn't just sitting on top of the steel. Try welding for a split second longer and see if that helps. Once you're got everything dialed in and you've got the "knack" you're there. Came up nice though once all ground down though. Another BMW saved is always a good thing!

    Love the work you put in! You could save yourself a lot of time by getting the settings on your welder right though. I recommend using to pieces of scrap (same thickness as the ones you wanna weld) and just experiment til you find what works best. ...at least that's what I did when I first started as a welder, over time you develop a feel for what works as a starter setting. Keep up the great work, love the E30 and really glad to se one getting a second chance on the road. 👍🏻
