usually a crash this bad would write

00:00:02

your car off but there's a Twist after

00:00:06

this BMW M3 was crashed into a house it

00:00:09

left some serious

00:00:11

damage and it turns out the driver

00:00:14

wasn't insured which is bad news for him

00:00:17

but good news for me because if this car

00:00:19

got as far as the insurance they say

00:00:21

it's not repairable but today we're

00:00:24

going to prove him

00:00:27

wrong today's challenge is going to

00:00:31

be this rear quarter and this is

00:00:34

something that I've never done before

00:00:37

because not only is it the rear quarter

00:00:39

it's also all the inner structure of the

00:00:42

car here which is uh usually would take

00:00:45

a specialist repair

00:00:49

but uh today not insurance companies

00:00:54

have a lot to consider before deciding

00:00:56

the car's repairable how much is the car

00:00:58

worth is it safe to repair

00:01:00

how much are the parts what would the

00:01:02

labor cost be and sometimes even the

00:01:04

cost of providing a higher car comes

00:01:06

into it luckily for me I only have to

00:01:09

consider some of those points and I've

00:01:11

already carried out a lot of work whilst

00:01:13

keeping it under budget 37 750 but now

00:01:18

it's left me with the biggest part of

00:01:20

the repair we have Jack from Florida U sorry

00:01:25

Freddy we've stole Jack from you now

00:01:27

they Nick me in the last video before

00:01:29

starting any repairs to this car I

00:01:31

called Jack to get his professional

00:01:34

opinion is this repairable yeah

00:01:37

anything's repairable and to be 100%

00:01:40

sure we were doing it right Jack come

00:01:42

over so basically what you're going to

00:01:43

do is I'm going to give you something to

00:01:45

cut this whole thing out we are just

00:01:47

going to start hacking out stuff it's

00:01:48

going to look scary but it's going to be

00:01:51

100% better once we cut it all

00:01:53

out 100%

00:01:56

better and that's exactly what we did I

00:01:59

started hacking away all the damage

00:02:01

Parts on the rear because once we get

00:02:02

the outer layer off we should be able to

00:02:04

see the damage inside my compressor has

00:02:07

not got the power to do it we don't want

00:02:09

to grind it because if we start grinding

00:02:11

it's going to flick Sparks all over like

00:02:13

the carbon roof we need to use the

00:02:15

compressor so I think we're going to

00:02:17

head to mallerie Performance and uh use

00:02:20

their

00:02:23

compressor and with a bigger compressor

00:02:25

the job was a lot easier and I got to

00:02:27

work at cutting away the rear quar

00:02:33

[Laughter]

00:02:34

now we can see the full inner structure

00:02:36

of the car and you can see it's built up

00:02:39

of loads of different parts now we're

00:02:41

got to work out what we need to replace

00:02:43

and what's safe to

00:02:45

keep there was actually a lot more parts

00:02:47

which were damaged including a lot of

00:02:49

the inner structure so I'm cutting away

00:02:52

all of the damaged parts now but being

00:02:54

careful not to damage anything which is

00:02:56

worth

00:02:58

keeping which left

00:03:00

with not much really let's see the

00:03:04

fitment oh bang on now took all the

00:03:08

tension on off this this is all nice and

00:03:10

wasn't like that

00:03:11

before but halfway

00:03:15

there look at how different looks

00:03:18

mint not so mint it look wow

00:03:23

crazy W that looks

00:03:25

mad now we've got a lot of the damage

00:03:28

parts off it's It's Time to Begin work

00:03:31

and first thing I'm going to do is

00:03:32

remove the rear door this is going to

00:03:35

give us a lot more access for where

00:03:36

we're working and it's a pretty easy

00:03:38

thing to

00:03:40

remove now we can see even more of the

00:03:43

damage next up we got to get the car in

00:03:45

the air on axle stands and then it can

00:03:48

get underneath it and start removing the

00:03:49

side skirt the rear quarter runs all the

00:03:52

way down pretty much to the front of the

00:03:54

car and the side skirt covers a lot of

00:03:56

this so we need to remove it to assess

00:03:58

any damages under underneath that and

00:04:00

whilst I was doing that my dad was

00:04:02

inside the car starting to remove the

00:04:04

roof lining because we're going to be

00:04:05

doing a lot of welding on this car we

00:04:07

don't want to set fire to anything and

00:04:09

the roof lining will probably be the

00:04:11

first thing that sets fire and with all

00:04:13

the interior lights

00:04:14

unclipped we can finally pull the roof

00:04:17

lining out of place through the front of

00:04:19

the car because we haven't got the wind

00:04:21

screen

00:04:24

in look at all the carbon oh yeah that

00:04:27

looks Wicked now we still need to get

00:04:31

off all this damage part and we're going

00:04:33

to say from this line forward is very

00:04:35

good um and from backwards is very bad

00:04:39

so what we got to do but this thing is

00:04:41

on the inside some of the parts are very

00:04:43

good so what we want to try and do is

00:04:45

these little spot welds here we don't

00:04:47

want to drill them all the way through

00:04:49

because then we got nothing to weld on

00:04:51

so we got to try and almost sand off the

00:04:55

spot weld so we can break off this part

00:04:59

of the body without damaging the under

00:05:01

part is that right jack that's correct

00:05:02

how can he hear me with these headphones

00:05:04

on I got x-ray hearing I need some eyeg

00:05:08

glasses that's what they call them in

00:05:10

America eyeg glasses on and I'm now

00:05:12

using the belt sander to just weaken

00:05:14

those spot welds what I'm trying to do

00:05:16

is just take off the top of the spot

00:05:18

Weld and not damage the panel underneath

00:05:21

it and there is a lot of these spot

00:05:24

Wells which hold the outside panel to

00:05:26

the inside structure so I'm going to be

00:05:28

here a long time my dad's now removing

00:05:31

all of the wiring around the wheel art

00:05:33

because we're going to be doing a lot of

00:05:34

cutting and Welding around there and all

00:05:36

the wiring on the inside of the rear

00:05:37

quarter as well and I'm still at it with

00:05:40

sanding down these spot WS once I think

00:05:42

I've sanded down enough I'll use this

00:05:44

spot weld chisel to wedge in between the

00:05:46

outer panel and the inner panel to break

00:05:48

away these spot welds and by doing this

00:05:51

I should be able to separate the outside

00:05:53

skin to the inside skin not forgetting

00:05:56

all the spot worlds which are on top as

00:05:58

well this job is pretty

00:06:01

Relentless just about ready to come off

00:06:03

so we're going to cut a line here and

00:06:06

then the reason we're going to cut here

00:06:09

and not somewhere up here because this

00:06:10

still looks okay is because this is a

00:06:12

nice area to to join on cuz it's like

00:06:15

flat and you can hide it quite nice I'm

00:06:17

going to let Jack do that in case I snag

00:06:19

the inside and then that'll be a big

00:06:21

problem

00:06:22

[Music]

00:06:27

so so now Jack's cutting the outer

00:06:30

quarter panel off being careful not to

00:06:32

cut through and damage the inner panel

00:06:34

because this part of it looks

00:06:38

okay yeah

00:06:40

yeah

00:06:42

yeah woo look at that

00:06:46

now there's barely oh there is more

00:06:49

stuff we've got to take off have we got

00:06:51

to take all that

00:06:53

off

00:06:57

oh okay so now

00:07:00

in a

00:07:02

structure it doesn't stop there does it

00:07:04

the whole thing got the whole thing got

00:07:06

to go CU that's all one piece and this

00:07:08

is all this oh

00:07:11

wow that is a lot of drilling yeah this

00:07:15

is this is not an easy job um

00:07:18

God oh dear that's Kevin's

00:07:22

blanket Kevin they've used to blanket me

00:07:26

sorry Kevin but now we've got to be

00:07:28

really careful because now I'm sanding

00:07:30

down the spot welds of more damaged

00:07:32

Parts but now when I'm separating these

00:07:34

damag parts I want to make sure I don't

00:07:36

damage the part that they're connected

00:07:38

to because we want to keep that and some

00:07:40

spot worlds have got to drill out again

00:07:43

all of this takes so much patience and

00:07:46

we've got to be so careful here but

00:07:48

between me and Jack we're getting

00:07:49

through it and it's quite interesting to

00:07:51

see how this car's built in all these

00:07:53

tiny little sections and all of these

00:07:55

sections together give it the strength

00:07:57

that it needs but now it needs to go up

00:07:59

in the ramp and we need to remove the

00:08:01

wheel because there's even more parts

00:08:03

that we need to replace underneath the

00:08:05

arch we're having to cut off way more

00:08:08

than we originally thought just because

00:08:11

there was damage to this Arch like the

00:08:13

inner Arch here but this inner Arch is

00:08:16

all one big like huge panel all the way

00:08:18

to the inside so we're actually going to

00:08:20

have to take off this damper here and

00:08:23

we're going to be replacing this part as

00:08:25

well which means we're going to get to

00:08:27

all the worlds underneath these this

00:08:29

seam here which this is a way bigger job

00:08:33

than we thought but still possible I

00:08:36

think more grinding let's do it this is

00:08:41

definitely part of the reason why the

00:08:42

insurance companies won't touch this

00:08:44

type of damage they'll quote for the

00:08:46

repair they think it needs and as you

00:08:48

dive into it deeper you'll find it needs

00:08:50

even more which requires even more labor

00:08:53

work luckily for us we're not an

00:08:56

insurance

00:08:57

company out comes the one fire wheel

00:09:00

this is going to grind away all of the

00:09:01

seam sealer which is covering over the

00:09:03

spot Wells that we need to drill

00:09:05

out this

00:09:08

is I I I'll be honest it's not the most

00:09:11

fun thing in the world what a messy job

00:09:13

this was but it needs to be done the

00:09:15

seam sealer is covering over all of

00:09:18

those spot worlds which I mentioned and

00:09:20

without doing it we won't be able to

00:09:21

drill them off nicely you can see here

00:09:23

the panels that we're trying to get off

00:09:25

in one piece without damaging the

00:09:27

underneath and out comes the drill to

00:09:29

drill out even more spot worlds I even

00:09:32

had Liam come in and help me with it

00:09:34

this thing was a huge job with hours of

00:09:36

labor but eventually we got off all the

00:09:40

damaged Parts well nearly all all I have

00:09:43

left to do is take out this piece here

00:09:46

and this metal here right now I'm just

00:09:47

drilling these out let's get started

00:09:50

Jack continues to do even more drilling

00:09:53

again being careful not to damage any of

00:09:55

the parts that we still need we're at

00:09:57

the next stage Well Jack been absolutely

00:10:00

smashing it out but I understand now

00:10:02

what's going on so right we've got

00:10:06

everything damaged off apart from this

00:10:09

rear parcel shelf which is a little

00:10:11

mangled and Jack was thinking about

00:10:13

straightening this out to try and get it

00:10:15

perfect but a better alternative is what

00:10:18

we've said is we have this from BMW

00:10:21

which is the whole rear shelf there

00:10:26

but if we wanted to replace this whole

00:10:28

rear shelf we're going to start start

00:10:29

attacking all of this side and that's

00:10:31

going to be we ain't going to be done

00:10:32

till

00:10:33

2026 so we can get the bits off which of

00:10:37

damage and use parts of this to create a

00:10:40

good one so we're essentially making a

00:10:42

nice piece instead of Smashing all that

00:10:46

end out we you'll see we'll you'll see

00:10:48

when we do it I'm trying to explain it's

00:10:50

not really working very well another

00:10:52

question you might be asking is after

00:10:54

we've got off all of these damag parts

00:10:57

how much is it going to cost us to

00:10:58

replace them all and what are we going

00:11:00

to replace them all

00:11:03

with we have this now the funny story

00:11:07

about this is that this actually come

00:11:10

with the BMW I got this free with the

00:11:14

car so the person who I bought the car

00:11:18

off was going to attempt to repair it

00:11:20

bearing in mind obviously they didn't go

00:11:21

for insurance but couldn't find anyone

00:11:23

that was mad enough to take on the

00:11:25

repair or was it even financially viable

00:11:28

so we got this free with the car which

00:11:30

was an absolute bonus the only issue

00:11:31

with this is we need more than this part

00:11:35

of the quarter there's dents here but on

00:11:37

the good side all this inner structure

00:11:40

everything inside here the shelf and

00:11:42

everything like that is all usable to an

00:11:45

extent even though having this

00:11:46

secondhand part has saved me a lot of

00:11:48

money what it didn't save us is time

00:11:51

you've already seen how long it takes to

00:11:52

strip apart the panels of the outer

00:11:54

structure to the inner structure and

00:11:56

that's exactly what we got to do on this

00:11:58

second hand panel as

00:12:00

well my dad has been working away

00:12:02

stripping apart the panels of this

00:12:04

second and panel whilst I've been

00:12:06

working stripping apart the M3 and in

00:12:08

both equal timing we seem to have it

00:12:11

finished off

00:12:14

y now we have a good in a structure that

00:12:17

we can put on the BMW M3 it's go time

00:12:21

and now we are I say at the point now

00:12:25

where we can start building things back

00:12:26

up and end that right jack I hope so

00:12:28

because we've done a lot of work right

00:12:30

so we just try and get we'll try and get

00:12:32

this onto there but it's got a slot in

00:12:34

like holes here and all sorts so there a

00:12:38

technique of doing it okay hopefully

00:12:40

should we get it on are we all going as

00:12:42

a as a team this is the time the

00:12:46

secondhand inner structure meets the BMW

00:12:50

M3 a lot of people think you might need

00:12:52

a jig for this type of work but as long

00:12:54

as everything is in measurement which it

00:12:56

was there's no reason to use a jig for

00:12:58

this type of work step 67 now all of

00:13:03

this is on and you can see the holes

00:13:05

that we've drilled out and I would say

00:13:08

spot weld but it's not called spot

00:13:09

welding is it's called plug weld plug

00:13:12

weld in so we're going to put Jack's

00:13:14

already uh started trying the welder out

00:13:16

here and we're going to just do every

00:13:19

single plug world now which is a lot

00:13:23

like there's literally holes everywhere

00:13:24

it looks like a stack of cheese at the

00:13:27

minute let's get welded I'm The

00:13:29

Apprentice the super professional here

00:13:32

so I am I am impressed a little bit of

00:13:35

welding and that looks amazing so have

00:13:38

at

00:13:40

it nice that sounded good you missed a

00:13:42

little bit oh I missed a little bit

00:13:44

that's not bad like this is literally

00:13:46

your second weld on the car yeah yeah

00:13:48

I'm happy with that so can I just plug

00:13:50

that bit in yeah go for

00:13:53

it yeah there you go not bad not bad but

00:13:57

if we're going to get done

00:13:59

and I want it done by tomorrow and not

00:14:02

next week I think you better take over

00:14:04

I'll take

00:14:06

that so what we essentially have done

00:14:08

here is replace all of broken and bent

00:14:10

Parts with secondhand straight parts and

00:14:13

it' be pretty obvious if anything was

00:14:15

out a tolerance because it just wouldn't

00:14:17

line up now we have to take this little

00:14:20

piece here we decided not to put this

00:14:21

whole piece in we really didn't need to

00:14:23

but we're going to cut this right on

00:14:25

this line here that I've made wow there

00:14:28

wow this is going to be a huge Time

00:14:31

Saver and sav's replacing that whole

00:14:33

back panel okay so now that should fit

00:14:36

oh my God that is

00:14:39

sensationally wow you've just got to

00:14:42

weld that together Jack made sure that

00:14:45

the panels are spot on he's going to

00:14:47

clamp it down and weld it together weld

00:14:50

time we're going to let Jack do the

00:14:52

welding between the two panels because

00:14:55

this is a pretty vital part and I'm not

00:14:57

so experiencing welding yet

00:14:59

yeah look

00:15:02

joined joined up clean it up looking

00:15:05

good all these spot world are in that is

00:15:08

pretty much most of the inner panel done

00:15:11

well done Jack oh am boom original

00:15:14

ganger now you can see all the spot

00:15:16

welds or plug welds where we've put in

00:15:18

the exact OEM spots they were before so

00:15:21

it'll be as strong if not stronger than

00:15:25

standard

00:15:27

now Jack is been absolutely smashing it

00:15:30

can we just say thanks to Jack and

00:15:32

subscribe to Jack's Channel because all

00:15:35

day he's come over and he's just stayed

00:15:36

in the unit and we've not let him out he

00:15:38

slept in here and everything and he's

00:15:40

got this far but I feel like I've

00:15:41

learned so much as well so there's a

00:15:43

point as well where Jackie is going to

00:15:45

have to go and we're going to have to

00:15:46

carry on this ourselves isn't that like

00:15:48

today yeah that's today so we're trying

00:15:50

to get as much done as possible and now

00:15:52

it's a huge moment all of this is set in

00:15:55

and it's all primered up and nicely

00:15:58

sealed up to an extent but now it's the

00:16:01

point where we're putting on as you like

00:16:04

to call it the side panel no the side

00:16:07

piece the side piece called what Sarah

00:16:10

Sarah the side piece is coming out look

00:16:12

at this a

00:16:15

subscriber sorted me out with Sarah the

00:16:18

side piece Sarah looks good so a

00:16:21

subscriber messaged me saying he's been

00:16:23

trying to sell this for ages on eBay not

00:16:25

sold it I don't know why I mean there

00:16:26

must be a handful of people that really

00:16:28

want this

00:16:30

Sarah the side piece this is how the

00:16:33

panel would come if I ordered it from

00:16:35

BMW the whole side of a car as you guys

00:16:38

know we don't need the whole side of the

00:16:40

car so Jack's now cutting off the parts

00:16:43

which we do need leaving it with a bit

00:16:45

of

00:16:52

overhang wa B oh my God look at that

00:17:00

we then got to take the side piece off

00:17:02

put some masking tape on it which is

00:17:04

going to help Jack cut it in a perfectly

00:17:07

straight line on the top half and on the

00:17:10

bottom half then we can put the side

00:17:12

piece back on the car overlay it onto

00:17:15

the panels which are already there mark

00:17:17

them up and once Jack has made his Mark

00:17:19

in the top half and the bottom half we

00:17:22

can then take the side piece back off

00:17:24

the car again and it can make a perfect

00:17:27

cut in both of

00:17:30

G this is going to ensure that we get a

00:17:33

nice line up between the side piece and

00:17:36

the original car is that

00:17:39

interesting now when we put the side

00:17:41

piece back onto the car you can see it

00:17:45

lines up perfectly well done Jack we

00:17:48

couldn't have done this without

00:17:50

you now before we do any welding we're

00:17:53

going to put the wheel on Lower it off

00:17:55

the ramp get the door and put the door

00:17:57

on as well

00:17:59

woo we need to make sure everything

00:18:01

lines

00:18:03

up look at that including the boot as

00:18:06

well and instead of having it on the

00:18:08

ramp we've lowered it to the floor to

00:18:10

make sure none of the panels are flexing

00:18:11

anywhere the only thing which was

00:18:13

slightly off was the boot lid so we had

00:18:16

to make a few more adjustments But after

00:18:19

those adjustments look at that we got it

00:18:22

pretty much spot on with this being

00:18:24

confident that it will fit the side

00:18:25

piece comes off go madad will start to

00:18:29

drill some holes in it ready for the

00:18:31

spot welds to go in or the plug welds

00:18:33

and then drill some holes in the

00:18:35

existing panels on the car as well and

00:18:37

then I'll get the panel bond out and

00:18:39

start applying it to the inside of the

00:18:41

arch on the side

00:18:44

piece Jack will make sure it's neatened

00:18:48

[Music]

00:18:51

up then I also apply panel bond to the

00:18:54

inner Arch on the car at the moment this

00:18:57

is how it's done from Factor it we can

00:19:00

then put back on the side piece for the

00:19:02

final time and the next step would be to

00:19:05

weld

00:19:07

it hello it's uh the rear Quarters on

00:19:11

we're going to get Jack to do this world

00:19:13

here cuz I think that's going to be

00:19:15

quite vital if we mess that up and then

00:19:18

after that we can do all the spot worlds

00:19:20

clean it all up paint it and start

00:19:22

pulling it back together I think that's

00:19:23

it it's almost fixed yeah it's almost

00:19:25

there it is literally almost there yeah

00:19:28

Sarah is doing bits let's do it why are

00:19:31

you putting that on that's for Jack

00:19:32

you're not welding I'm

00:19:35

watching Jack got to work with joining

00:19:38

sarra the side piece to Michael the M3 I

00:19:43

guess we can call him and after we'

00:19:45

finished they'd almost be joined as

00:19:48

[Music]

00:19:50

one now guess what we're going to do

00:19:53

more welding I'd assume yeah more

00:19:55

welding yeah you're correct so now we've

00:19:57

got to weld all the these little holes

00:19:59

which Jack's left us to do then we're

00:20:01

going to clean it up and then we well

00:20:04

you'll see but we're doing it now so it

00:20:06

could go terribly wrong but we'll see

00:20:08

how we go you don't seem confident I'm

00:20:14

confident at least one of us

00:20:19

are

00:20:22

yeah we were left to our own devices now

00:20:26

it was down to me and my dad to get this

00:20:28

quar panel on and get it on safely

00:20:31

without messing anything

00:20:32

[Music]

00:20:37

up and so far I think it was looking

00:20:40

pretty good we cleaned up the worlds

00:20:42

that we put on and we almost ready for

00:20:45

the next

00:20:46

[Music]

00:20:48

step what's going on over here just

00:20:51

mixing paint cuz Matt says he don't know

00:20:52

how to do it do you know how to do it no

00:20:55

Next Step all of this is exposed metal

00:20:59

now um all of our beautiful welds inside

00:21:03

the car doesn't need to be sealed

00:21:05

because it's not exposed to the elements

00:21:07

we also need to Edge prime it to stop it

00:21:09

from rusting which is what I'm going to

00:21:12

do now and then we're going to move to

00:21:13

the next step so all I'm going to do is

00:21:16

just oh look at the technique just dust

00:21:19

on a little

00:21:21

oh not that part I'll just X prime or

00:21:23

everything guys and I'm going to check

00:21:26

back with you one side x Prime cuz we

00:21:28

don't want to get primer all over the

00:21:29

camera and because otherwise none of you

00:21:31

will be able to see this might be a good

00:21:33

time to ask you guys who are not

00:21:34

subscribed to the channel already just

00:21:36

to hit that subscribe button below it is

00:21:38

completely free right X Prim is on now

00:21:43

paint which M dad Mi mixed I've never

00:21:45

used this gun ever before don't know how

00:21:47

to paint it don't have to be good though

00:21:49

can I just show you like the other side

00:21:51

look what BMW have done they've just

00:21:52

done a light spray so that's what that's

00:21:55

what I'm going to go for and we'll see

00:21:57

how it turns out out you look very

00:22:00

professional with that thank

00:22:08

[Music]

00:22:13

[Music]

00:22:17

you think we smashed it right BMW paint

00:22:21

look like at our paint I think it

00:22:24

actually is better I think it's not

00:22:26

actually that bad to be fair B on you're

00:22:28

never going to see that it's all going

00:22:30

to be covered up with all this

00:22:31

insulation and that but the fact that

00:22:32

we've got a base coat on there is a 10

00:22:34

out of 10 then there should be no

00:22:38

painting from now on apart from painting

00:22:41

this which we're not going to attempt

00:22:42

that because like that was just poor

00:22:44

workmanship wires anytime a panel joins

00:22:47

between one panel and another panel it's

00:22:49

got this seam sealer on I fail

00:22:51

dramatically at the BMW M5 but I've been

00:22:56

taught how to do it now and I think I'm

00:22:57

going to give this shot next and this is

00:22:59

all my masking up because that's what I

00:23:01

didn't do last time mask it up run the

00:23:03

sealer down try and make it look as OEM

00:23:06

as possible bear in mind a robot did

00:23:09

this every bit where the panel joins

00:23:12

we've got a seam seal I guess let's do

00:23:15

it let's go so I'm hoping now the second

00:23:18

time of me attempting to seam seal

00:23:20

panels I get it a little bit better this

00:23:22

time I'm using a brush on seam sealer

00:23:24

and it looks quite messy at the moment

00:23:26

me just brushing it on but I'm hoping

00:23:28

when I pull the masking tape off it

00:23:30

should finish quite nicely I'm trying my

00:23:32

best to get the same sort of texture as

00:23:34

the OEM seam sealer but most importantly

00:23:36

is just making sure that the panels are

00:23:38

actually sealed it's more important the

00:23:40

sealer actually does its job rather than

00:23:42

looking good and you know what I don't

00:23:44

think I've actually done too

00:23:47

[Music]

00:23:49

bad yes it could be better and there's

00:23:51

room for improvement but it is a lot

00:23:54

better than last time and what I've done

00:23:55

as well is mased up the area and then

00:23:57

give it a of paint

00:23:59

underneath and I am pretty happy with

00:24:02

[Music]

00:24:04

that bearing in mind all of this is

00:24:07

going to be covered up with Arch liners

00:24:08

Trims and sound deadening you can see

00:24:11

there has been work done but I don't

00:24:12

think it looks like bad work in my

00:24:14

opinion and with all that done I could

00:24:16

start putting back all the wiring and

00:24:18

the sound ending in the interior and

00:24:20

guide all the wiring loom back into

00:24:22

place and start installing everything

00:24:25

back to where it should go like the

00:24:26

amplifiers in the boot look at survived

00:24:29

the

00:24:34

accident both amplifiers are now back in

00:24:36

the rear quarter next to the boot and

00:24:39

after that I can now put back in the

00:24:41

battery I slot it in place put all the

00:24:44

trims and accessories on it lock it

00:24:48

down and we're on to the next step pyro

00:24:51

fuse now on this one on a lot of cars

00:24:55

you can get away with cross referencing

00:24:57

Pyro is it cuz when you go to a main

00:25:00

dealer they will try and make you buy

00:25:02

this whole line and everything like that

00:25:05

just for the sake of a pyro fuse which

00:25:07

could probably get for like £1 15 the

00:25:09

issues with this pyro fuse on BMW it's a

00:25:13

sealed unit and it's in like that and

00:25:15

when the explosive goes off it pops it

00:25:17

away the power and then when it pops it

00:25:20

away it takes power away from the starty

00:25:22

can't start the car again after it's

00:25:24

been in an accident just in case there's

00:25:26

oil everywhere now

00:25:30

unfortunately I had to get one from BMW

00:25:34

£6 plus that because look it's a sealed

00:25:37

unit I can't actually buy them from

00:25:40

anywhere else it's a sealed unit it's

00:25:42

got all these cables with it there's no

00:25:44

way we can cross reference it £16 is

00:25:47

quite expensive just for effectively a

00:25:49

fuse and we didn't even need these

00:25:51

cables but now at least we'll be able to

00:25:54

start the car so I've got to fit this

00:25:57

and we should be able to start the car

00:25:58

without jumping that pyro

00:26:01

fuse let's do it part of the CA in

00:26:05

disconnects from here which I assume

00:26:07

just goes to the body electronics that

00:26:09

goes down connects to the battery and

00:26:11

then there's another cable which sort of

00:26:13

connects at the bottom which sends the

00:26:15

power directly to the starter motor with

00:26:17

the power fuse bolted on you can see the

00:26:19

connection here going to those two wires

00:26:21

which will go straight to the engine and

00:26:23

connect to the starter motor now we

00:26:25

should be able to start the car no

00:26:26

problem after that I can start putting

00:26:28

in the rear shock absorber this is

00:26:30

pretty easy to do there's just some

00:26:32

bolts holding it to the rear quarter and

00:26:34

one bolt holding it to the rear arm

00:26:35

remembering to put back all the wire in

00:26:37

where it came from now onto the under

00:26:40

trays a bumper uh holder on her goes in

00:26:44

that the zip

00:26:46

and oh my God it's

00:26:49

Sensational that in the bumper bracket

00:26:53

as well goes this and this is a sensor

00:26:56

for what I believe is Lane assist I

00:27:00

think it needs to be calibrated but that

00:27:02

slops

00:27:03

in yeah I think that sits behind the

00:27:05

bumper and it helps you for Lane

00:27:07

assisting now I've got the bumper holder

00:27:09

on her bolted to the side of the car I

00:27:11

can start to fit the secondhand rear

00:27:13

bumper which I got from a breaker's yard

00:27:15

but we just test fitting it at this

00:27:16

point to make sure it lines up it's in

00:27:19

oh look at that yeah look that's in

00:27:23

there I think that should come out a bit

00:27:26

like that when we got all the brackets

00:27:27

on and now we it actually all lines up

00:27:29

we can take it off and start adding even

00:27:31

more of the bumper trims which go

00:27:33

underneath it and with them on we can

00:27:35

add the rear crash bar which again

00:27:37

survived the accident and then put in

00:27:38

the brand new secondhand rear light I

00:27:40

got going on for real this

00:27:43

time yeah next up to see what if it

00:27:46

lines up the boots or the trunk if

00:27:49

you're American we did test this all out

00:27:51

before welding but we was just worried

00:27:53

that after doing all the welding there

00:27:55

might have been some movement in the

00:27:56

panels then say

00:27:59

Shel work all the way down around

00:28:02

doesn't touch straight up here bang on

00:28:06

there if you look it's pretty flat if

00:28:09

you look it's pretty flat that is a 10

00:28:14

out of 10 it well actually no say it's a

00:28:16

9 out of 10 because it would be a 10 out

00:28:17

of 10 if this was red like that I'm not

00:28:20

putting the arch lining in because the

00:28:23

body shop is still going to paint and

00:28:27

well we'll have to take it off so I'm

00:28:29

going to put the wheel on and then when

00:28:30

I got the wheel on we should be able to

00:28:33

roll it back and then put the interior

00:28:34

in somehow the standard wheel is still

00:28:38

holding air after the

00:28:42

smash

00:28:44

yeah first time with a quarter panel on

00:28:48

you'd never know what do you think it's

00:28:51

great better than I

00:28:54

thought first

00:28:57

time

00:29:02

this is looking so good I can't believe

00:29:05

we actually have a quarter panel on and

00:29:07

we've managed to repair all the inner

00:29:09

structure as well but we don't want to

00:29:11

celebrate too early next up we've got to

00:29:13

clip the side skirt in

00:29:16

place dialed then I'm going to be taking

00:29:19

out these seats because I bought myself

00:29:22

a little treat which you'll

00:29:25

see one BMW M3 is the the Comfort Seats

00:29:30

yes yeah

00:29:32

see oh I can't recline it it's not

00:29:35

plugged in with the seats out I've got

00:29:37

more room to put the roof lining in

00:29:39

place we can slide it back through the

00:29:41

rear window make sure all the electrical

00:29:44

connectors are plugged in and clip it to

00:29:46

the top of the roof then we can push in

00:29:48

all the OS handles as we like to call

00:29:50

them hope fit these are os handles

00:29:53

properly after that screen saver popped

00:29:55

down with the brand new wind screen

00:29:58

because we've got all the airbags in and

00:29:59

we've done all the work to the dashboard

00:30:01

now it's about time we put in the new

00:30:03

windc screen which just fits

00:30:06

perfectly now I'm onto the rear parcel

00:30:09

shelf sound deadling goes in first then

00:30:11

it's held down with these plastic

00:30:14

screws there's a plastic trim and then

00:30:16

the rear seat belts go on top of that

00:30:19

once there're in I can slide in the

00:30:21

fabric with the speakers

00:30:25

on this is a bit mad never seen this

00:30:28

before instead of the damper actually

00:30:29

holding up the boot the hydraulic straw

00:30:32

it just dampens it to stop it from

00:30:35

flying up the spring is actually pulling

00:30:37

open the boot and that's dampering it so

00:30:39

when I close the boot now the Spring's

00:30:42

trying to open it and when I let go the

00:30:45

damper slows it down so it opens nice

00:30:47

and slow that's uh can't say I've seen

00:30:50

that before remember in the last

00:30:53

video the seat belts were locked out

00:30:55

only one seat belt was locked out but I

00:30:58

sent two off to the airbag team to have

00:31:01

the tension is reset because obviously

00:31:03

we're locked and they said the same

00:31:05

thing only one of them had detonated

00:31:08

which means that either there wasn't a

00:31:09

passenger or the passenger wasn't

00:31:11

wearing a seat belt but we should have

00:31:14

two

00:31:15

faultless

00:31:17

seat one faultless seat belt

00:31:20

now

00:31:23

yeah finally we can put back in the seat

00:31:26

belts and now now they should be

00:31:28

faultless they just slide into this

00:31:30

pillar here there's an electrical

00:31:32

connector on them we bolt it all onto

00:31:34

the chassis of the car and then put all

00:31:36

the trims back over the top of it and

00:31:38

then I'm going to do exactly the same

00:31:40

for the passenger

00:31:42

side seat belts are in now I said in the

00:31:46

last video I would have really liked if

00:31:49

I had the bucket seats and I manifested

00:31:51

it I've managed not only to get the

00:31:53

bucket seats but also to get the full

00:31:56

interior to match and was at a really

00:31:58

good price because these seats are known

00:32:00

for being expensive that's horrendous

00:32:03

bro Jesus these are these fit me nice

00:32:07

yeah what are you squashed you don't

00:32:09

look at it no I

00:32:14

don't that is mad that seat some people

00:32:17

like them some people dislike them Nico

00:32:20

is not a fan but I think this is going

00:32:22

to completely transform the interior of

00:32:24

the car and make it look a little bit

00:32:26

more sporty and it's going to add a

00:32:28

little contrast to it as well now the

00:32:31

rear bench is in it's time for the door

00:32:35

[Music]

00:32:37

cards BMW Specialists there's only

00:32:40

actually two bolts holding the door card

00:32:42

to the door and the rest are all Clips

00:32:44

so it's easy enough

00:32:46

done and look at the difference that

00:32:48

that's

00:32:49

[Music]

00:32:51

made yeah oh so we so we made the

00:32:54

executive decisions Keep It In Black

00:32:56

it's up to you that's

00:32:58

compare condition because look it's got

00:33:00

gray stitching yeah this is all dirty

00:33:03

yeah why is that better it goes with the

00:33:05

interior yeah I think the I think yeah I

00:33:07

think look you've got the black the

00:33:10

black Cent on the seat come on let's

00:33:11

send it I would have kept that's a vote

00:33:13

of three saying leave it black and Ethan

00:33:15

thinks white and you think black what do

00:33:17

that's five out of six people yeah what

00:33:19

does m think I think black black it's

00:33:22

only Ethan that wants it white you got

00:33:23

to have it white look at it no why

00:33:26

because it put your arm on it right

00:33:29

we're deciding black let us know in the

00:33:32

comments black or the white armed big

00:33:36

moment apparently word on the street

00:33:39

though with these seats is

00:33:42

underneath they have this module in here

00:33:46

I don't know why I seat needs a module

00:33:48

but it also has a module on here

00:33:50

according to people this seat won't work

00:33:54

unless we have the module coded but I

00:33:57

may be able to switch over the modules

00:33:58

but I want to test that theory first by

00:34:00

just putting it in and see if it works

00:34:02

so I'm just going to put it in plug it

00:34:05

in to see if we get any power to it at

00:34:07

all cuz it' be quite interesting to find

00:34:10

out

00:34:19

okay so it works it was a lie good job

00:34:23

we didn't do it and it's a good job we

00:34:24

tried first easy as that and and it

00:34:27

actually works look the black that works

00:34:31

I think the black armrest with that I

00:34:33

think that

00:34:35

[Music]

00:34:38

works what a difference those carbon

00:34:40

bucket seats have made is 100% transform

00:34:45

the look of it way

00:34:51

better and that is job done these

00:34:56

seats

00:34:58

I'm I'm glad I've got them this is going

00:35:00

to be hard isn't it give me a hand maybe

00:35:03

very big moment is it going to line up

00:35:05

with the quarter don't make a

00:35:07

noise L this Striker thing is not tight

00:35:11

so let's let's just leave that it it

00:35:14

might not close properly

00:35:17

yet oh personally the door's got to go

00:35:21

in a bit more let's uh push that in

00:35:24

tighten that up and we'll go again right

00:35:27

do it then

00:35:28

ready

00:35:31

yeah that is flush that's flush

00:35:35

yes look at

00:35:38

that that

00:35:40

looks pretty good now we need to test

00:35:43

whether we've got any faults because we

00:35:45

shouldn't have all airbags are in

00:35:47

everything is plugged in we shouldn't

00:35:49

have any faults but who knows Let's test

00:35:52

it out okay there's something that's

00:35:55

slightly worrying restraint system fault

00:35:57

tire pressure low rear restraint system

00:36:00

that's the one that's worrying me driver

00:36:01

restraint system and front passenger

00:36:04

restraint system there's a lot of faults

00:36:06

and the rear restraint system is to do

00:36:08

with the rear seat belts which I haven't

00:36:10

changed but there's a good way to find

00:36:12

out whether there is an issue with them

00:36:13

the Carly which is manufactur level

00:36:17

diagnos

00:36:19

Diagnostics and this just goes in your

00:36:21

OBD easy as that you would have seen me

00:36:22

use this device loads of times it simply

00:36:25

just plugs into the OBD port and then

00:36:27

you can connect it through an app on

00:36:29

your phone connect connect so there's

00:36:32

loads of things you can do with this

00:36:33

diagnostic use car check customization

00:36:36

you can unlock a load of stuff first

00:36:38

thing I'm going to do is check for

00:36:39

issues and it's going to run a load of

00:36:41

checks on every single part of the

00:36:44

car let's see what we

00:36:46

find oh my God very

00:36:50

bad so the good thing with this now I

00:36:53

can just click clear issues we're going

00:36:55

to completely clear them and and the

00:36:58

lower number we get now back the better

00:37:01

A lot of the faults are going to be

00:37:02

there because we started the car with

00:37:03

things unplugged but after we've cleared

00:37:05

them we shouldn't get many back I've not

00:37:08

seen an airbag light on the dash

00:37:11

anymore that could potentially be good

00:37:13

news and then Cary had finished doing

00:37:15

her checks and we had a lot less faults

00:37:18

now this is good there's nothing for the

00:37:21

airbags we fitted all of this is to do

00:37:24

with the parking sensors and those

00:37:27

little uh modules that we fitting in the

00:37:29

rear bumper all of that needs to be

00:37:31

calibrated which we may have to take it

00:37:33

to BMW for and would you look at that

00:37:35

we're almost completely faultless just

00:37:37

some tire pressure to add and some

00:37:39

washer fluid dri assistance which is our

00:37:42

lane changing and that type of stuff so

00:37:44

we can ignore that we'll get that sorted

00:37:47

all the airbag lights are off we know

00:37:50

what we're doing thanks call after that

00:37:52

I went into to unlock and customize a

00:37:54

few things on the M3 I just unlocked

00:37:56

video in motion activate Speed

00:37:59

Lock yeah secret menu so now the car

00:38:04

will allow me to play videos on the

00:38:06

screen whilst the car is moving of

00:38:08

course my eyes will be on the road all

00:38:10

the time though another cool thing that

00:38:11

I could check was that the mileage was

00:38:13

legit in this car although the odometer

00:38:15

on the dashboard will read a certain

00:38:17

mileage Carly can tell if there's a

00:38:19

discrepancy by comparing the mileage to

00:38:21

the other ecus in the car Cary has

00:38:24

detected no

00:38:26

tampering it nearly had me good Peace of

00:38:29

Mind from Carly you guys can customize

00:38:32

or code and diagnose your car at home

00:38:35

with one of these kits and I wouldn't

00:38:37

say they weren't good if they weren't

00:38:39

good these are brilliant bit of kits and

00:38:41

we put them in for every road trip go

00:39:21

believe we've got the M3 this far in

00:39:24

this amount of time although we still

00:39:26

have got a lot more stuff to do to it

00:39:28

we've made a lot of progress already

00:39:30

what a car look at that oh the seats

00:39:33

have made a 1010 difference ain't there

00:39:35
