The latest E30 video is here!
I found this throttle body on eBay (as I have already done mine before YT) and I'm not quite sure what happened to it. It was one of the ugliest things I had come across in some time. White and pink corrosion and a thick later or oily dirt.
Let me know what you guys think. I had fun doing this one but it was a nightmare to put back together again. Be warned if you plan to do this yourself, take extra care to make note of how it goes together.
Enjoy!

Thanks, dude!
What did you have in mind? At the moment, If I do take work on, I try to make it something I haven't done on the channel yet.

People may say"that looks nice"but its all in the detail Steve, and its soooooo gratifying to see a guy who really cares about his work AND can carry it out to such a high level.

Interesting! I was just looking at your YouTube channel today. I was looking for E30 info on how to safely remove my center console trim. Never found that kind of video, but the throttle body RestoreIt video was sweet!
“Keep lowering your standards until goals are met.”
I went back to your channel and subscribed! I enjoy learning from watching restoration videos, but I’ve only subscribed to two. Yours is awesome and there’s a Swiss fellow who has a similar presentation style; let’s the work do the talking. Exceptional concept, huh! Thanks again for putting your work on display!
