Let's Make It Roadworthy Again - Classic BMW E30 320i 5-speed - Project Marbais: Part 5
Added 2021-10-20 20:12:15 +0000 UTCPart 5 of project Marbais has landed!
The beautiful E30 is roadworthy again! But it wasn't a pass from the first, more on that in the video.
We also have an old friend make an appearance. Felix, a young upholsterer from Ranstadt is showing us how to rewrap M-Tech 1 steering wheel with new leather.
I'm so happy how this car is progressing. There will be one more final episode on this project (for now) where we are going to detail the paint and interior. After that, time to hit the road!
I'm going to pick up the license plates tomorrow actually.
At one point, Michel and Sebastien will come for a visit so Michel can reunite with his E30 and drive it!
Comments
He's a super nice guy, we actually got in touch long before I got the E30. I wish I could hire one as well, but in the end, I have to cut and decide what's relevant to the video as I talk plenty when I work and some of it just isn't relevant. Then I need to do a voice-over and also uploading videos to the editor would take ages with German internat. In the end, it just would save time but maybe one day if I can find someone that I really click with.

Also, I noticed a lot of Youtubers have hired editors, is that something you would ever consider? Or do you think they wouldn't be able to capture your editing style and feel?

2021-10-21 09:56:23 +0000 UTCLovely. Especially the especially the "engine failure". Is there any reason for you to refurbish the old distributor (e.g. as a future backup)? Are they even repairable?
2021-10-21 09:45:39 +0000 UTCOh, yes I second that. Would be nice! Sreten is kind of the reason I decided to bite the bullet and buy my dreamcar: the E39 M5.
2021-10-21 09:44:26 +0000 UTCAnother excellent vid! Love to see all the progress you're making! I hear ya' on the brake fluid, but for me the worst is ATF. The smell is just horrendous!

2021-10-20 21:02:59 +0000 UTCI wonder what you put on the license plate. U.S customized plates are wayyyy more expensive.
