Hi guys,

I thought you lot might be interested in this one. It's the restoration of my LSD from my 325i.

Let me know what you think!



If someone likes this and would be happy to share this on the E30Zone Facebook, I would really appreciate it if you did.

Thank you!

I remember your first M40 Rocker Cover video a few months ago. Videos have come a long way already in regards to editing.

Work done is excellent as always.

Your videos and a few excellent restoration threads on this forum is what inspires people to keep working on their own cars. Shows just how much is possible at home in the garage and how good our old parts can look!

I have had a really poor 10 months and Im in the middle of changing jobs .I may not go back into engineering as I am disolutioned with peoples attitudes towards it in general.
Until I saw this...................
Your skill level ,attitude and paitience are a VERY refreshing sight to see !!!!!
Your aproach is excellent and you must know what you are doing as this is one of THE most dificult jobs to do and get right.
This is the second video of yours on here and I will see how to make these into a "stickie"
Many thanks for this , watching this today has lifted me no end mate.

Great job and thanks for making the vids. If I were to make one small comment, get that diff back cover vapour blasted. For £10-15 it would really make the difference.

Jerseytim - Good to hear!

TurtleDesignTech - Thank you, man! Great feedback.

martauto - What can I say. Thank you. Nicest comment I have received so far. It has made my day knowing I lifted your spirits. If you could get the video pinned, it would make my month! Feel free to make a new post with the video links or embedded if that's possible.

BMG = I wish I could have had it vapor blasted. My friend has done almost restored and ready to use. So, soon. And, thank you!
