26 Years Of Sitting - What Will It Take To Get it Running? BMW E21 323i - Project Castellón: Part 2
Added 2021-09-29 20:13:17 +0000 UTCDirect link - https://youtu.be/3dpFu1nJBec
The time has come to revive this turd after 26 years of standstill! Project Castellón proved to be the most difficult and disgusting car I ever attempted to revive. We have everything you need in this episode, a rabbit, burly manly sounds, varnished fuel, stuff living in the cooling system... Explosions too!
Buckle up for 55 minutes of struggle.

Hang in there, Sreten! It's always darkest before the dawn.
2021-10-12 01:09:08 +0000 UTCSoonish, I'll take it apart and make a video of the teardown.

2021-10-09 20:28:25 +0000 UTCToo many projects? A chronic danger in this type of work is to let new, potentially less interesting, projects intrude into the sequence of earlier ones that have later stages still to come. Case in point: when will you be able to get to the hybrid M70/M73 engine for the 850? That will be a really interesting and rarely seen exercise, of potentially far greater interest than restoring some really old (but classic) much simpler cars. Don't let this one fall off the radar!

2021-10-06 01:25:24 +0000 UTCGreat videos, Streten, as usual. However, it would help if, after a speeded up portion, you paused a little longer to let us see the final result. Example: showing the alignment of the gear marks after replacing the timing belt. Went by too fast to even have time to hit pause! It would help us as viewers trying to learn something new by watching your superb work.

2021-10-06 01:21:18 +0000 UTCcheck, got the notification !
2021-10-01 22:00:03 +0000 UTCWhat’s the likely cause of the low compression? Head gasket? Definitely looking forward to seeing how you tackle the whole engine rebuild - guessing it might need specialist tooling etc offsite?
2021-09-30 22:45:34 +0000 UTCAs i do not want to say this in the Youtubes... You do not have to worry about the registration, if you got a copy of that paper, you just make it original yourself. I've made this even without a buying contract, just with a handshake. They will not know if that car was registered last in spain, you could bought it here in germany. Our Strassenverkehrsamt usually only needs an email fron the guy you bought it, and as you are coming from IT Deparment, you know how todo that too ;-) If you need help with that, just ping me...
2021-09-30 11:56:16 +0000 UTCAll the projects are great and I anticipate updates, but due to the age of the car and the time it spent idle, this e21 coming to life is truly exciting!

2021-09-30 05:02:30 +0000 UTCWas wondering why one of the previous videos didn’t alert me. Glad to see it was just a bug. What a wild cooling system. Had a laugh every time something was removed and there was that weird growth underneath. 🤢

2021-09-30 01:55:19 +0000 UTCNotification received in USA. However if your man card weren’t filled to the brim with awesome BMW revivals we’d have to clip off a corner for the girl screams when the car back fired! LOL. Keep up the always great flow of excellent info and production values and I’ll keep watching Sir!

2021-09-30 00:08:19 +0000 UTCWhat a great episode!! Maybe if the engine needs rebuilding you can swap in a M20B25 or M21 (B27 in US) crankshaft to get a longer stroke! You’d also want an E30 325i ‘885’ head

2021-09-29 22:45:08 +0000 UTCGreat episode. K-Jet is made out to be a lot more complicated than it actually is. Once you get the fuel distributor cleaned moving freely, replace all the vacuum lines and you're probably going to be in good shape. Also, a good set of fuel pressure gauges are a must.

2021-09-29 21:41:43 +0000 UTCI received my notification thanks..really enjoyed that one..what a battle you are having with that little car !
2021-09-29 21:40:40 +0000 UTCThis was the my favorite episode yet! I eagerly await every one, and I love them all, but there is something about cars that are really far gone!
2021-09-29 21:37:28 +0000 UTCConfirming! Long video but very good!
2021-09-29 21:26:50 +0000 UTCIt works my man and I'm so glad that it does <3

2021-09-29 21:23:29 +0000 UTCcrazy amount of work... seems like a suitable challenge for the hero :D. Too bad about that paper hogging dude :/

2021-09-29 20:51:45 +0000 UTCWhen I need to use a lot of it, I wear the mask all the time, but for small squirts I don't. I hate brake cleaner, it's pure poison and can cause so many diseases, wish I could do without it...
