Hi everyone,

Here's my latest video. I know you E30 guys will like it.



I'm no professional and I'm still learning, but I'm having fun that's for sure :)

Cheers.

Amazing.

If you want something better then the thin latex/nitrile gloves then try these,

Awesome!

Wish I had a a shed like yours... :mad:

Not sure what you are using for degreasing and rust... but I would suggest Bilt Hamber

https://www.bilthamber.com/car-cleaning ... /surfex-hd

https://www.bilthamber.com/corrosion-pr ... nts/deox-c

The Deox-C is amazing, rust literally flakes off and old screws, bolts and nuts etc look new after soaking for a bit...

The XL or XXL may be better, gave a pair to a mechanic I know to test out and he was impressed as he managed to get four days out of one pair (they wire brushing killed them eventually) whereas the thin latex/nitrile ones at £5 per 100 he would go through 6 pairs easily in a day.

He has now ordered 2 boxes.

Add a review also maybe on tools that you use recommend also maybe gloves etc and maybe get some links included for added revenue.

I saw the LSD rebuild, that was impressive.
