Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay in releasing the next episode. While filming it, I managed to break the two most important things needed for the shoot: my camera lens, which got hit by welding spatter (again), and my eyeball, which was hit by a tiny piece of metal. Despite wearing safety goggles, that minuscule metal fragment found its way into the blue part of my eye, while cutting metal on the underside of the e30 touring. Thanks to the lovely people at the hospital, the piece of metal was removed and the rust was scraped out with a vibrating needle, restoring my eye.

I've ordered some ski-goggle-type goggles to prevent it from happening again and I've also got a lens protector for my new lens, something I should have done years ago! 

In the coming episode, I'm dealing with the 'NOT jacking point' in the front right footwell, which as you can see from the photos, is an absolute mess. 

This episode is almost finished and will be with you soon, after which there will be a few shorter episodes in quick succession to make up for the time it took to create this one!

Cheers,
Steve

It's always a good time seeing one of E30 Garage Norway's parcel turn up. It's like Christmas day all over again! Big thanks to E30 Garage Norway as always. Soon, they will have 98% of an e30 in metal replacement parts for sale, which is just mind-blowing.

The Rust is Coming Out! Touring Part 5 Coming soon. 

I've come to the obvious conclusion that the car restoration episodes should be fully narrated and will be from now on. The antiques and single item projects will have no narration at all in keeping with the original style of the channel. 

So, from now on, when you see a BMW restoration based episode, you can expect an episode like part 4 of this series, a fully narrated, progress style video. This goes for the 325i Sport and the 4 door to come. 

When you see a standalone restoration episode, be it an antique, a tool, or a toy, they will contain no talking during the work. Maybe a small intro or outro, but that's it. 

I hope this clears things up as I've had quite a few suggestions in the comments to do just this, and I think you guys are absolutely right. So, thanks for the feedback.

Cheers! 
Steve.

When life gives you a BMW E30, you make space! Paul, a long-time viewer of the channel, just gifted me this sedan. It has been sitting for 20 years in a garage in London. It's now in the Restore It workshop and will be on the channel in the future, so stay tuned for that! Thank you to Paul for the car and all the content that will come because of it.
