MAT ARMSTRONG HELPS REBUILD MY WRECKED BMW X3M COMPETITION
Summary
TLDRThe video follows a car enthusiast as he begins to restore his BMW X3M that was significantly damaged in an accident. After having major repairs done on the chassis and bodywork, he takes on reassembling the stripped interior and disconnected engine components himself. Despite struggling to remember where everything connects, he perseveres, reattaching wiring, installing new turbos, and fitting a new carbon fiber steering wheel. Though the X3M still needs further engine work before it can run again, the interior is now nearly complete, transformed from a bare shell back to a customized performance car interior.

Q & A
What repairs and modifications were made to the BMW X3M?
-The car had major repairs including replacing the chassis leg, stripping the interior, removing the engine, upgrading the turbos, replacing broken engine parts like coolant lines, replacing the seats, and installing a new carbon fiber steering wheel.
Why did the creator have trouble reassembling the interior?
-He had trouble because it had been weeks since he originally removed everything and he couldn't remember where all the parts and wiring went back together.
What happened to the original seats in the BMW?
-The original seats got twisted on their frames during the accident so they were no longer safe to reinstall.
Where did the creator source replacement seats from?
-He found replacement factory X3M seats in the back of his van which were the perfect spec to match the originals.
What was the issue with the dashboard frame?
-The original frame was bent in the accident. The creator bought a replacement frame but it was missing some tabs needed to mount the heads up display screen, so they had to weld those pieces on.
Why did they upgrade the BMW's turbos?
-They installed upgraded hybrid turbos that will produce more power, but other supporting mods will be needed soon to handle the extra power.
What interior parts still need to be fixed?
-The knee airbag, curtain airbags, and some vent ducting still need to be repaired and connected.
What is the next step for getting the BMW running again?
-The engine still needs to be reinstalled and connected along with all associated wiring in the engine bay before the car will start again.
What steering wheel upgrade was installed?
-A custom carbon fiber steering wheel cover with Alcantara sides and M stitching was installed to match the race seats.
What work still remains on the project car?
-Lots of engine bay work remains including reinstalling the engine, sorting wiring, replacing broken coolant parts, and upgrading supporting mods to handle the hybrid turbos' extra power.
Outlines
🛠 Fixing The Interior And Dashboard Of My Smashed BMW X3M
The BMW X3M interior is completely stripped to fix the chassis and replace damaged parts. Reassembling the interior with no memory of how things were, using old videos as reference. Fitting new turbos, fixing coolant lines on the engine, and replacing the twisted dashboard frame and heater.
😥 Buying Another Dashboard Frame And Building A Heater From Broken Parts
The newly bought dashboard frame and heater were also damaged. Getting another used frame and heater from a subscriber and trying to combine working parts from everything to rebuild the heater. Also welding tabs from one frame onto the other for the headsup display screen.
⚙️ Turbos And Engine Work While Waiting On The Dashboard Frame
With friends helping work on turbos, coolant lines, wiring, and other engine parts while waiting for the dashboard frame to be welded. Cleaning the interior and reinstalling carpet before test fitting the rebuilt dashboard frame and heater.
🚘 Dashboard Frame Back In And Rebuilding The Dashboard
Welded dashboard frame test fitted and installed. Slowly reassembling dashboard, center console, wiring, and other interior parts. Difficult to remember order and location of everything. Using old videos to help.
👕 New Seats In And Interior Nearly Complete
Center console, glovebox, carpets cleaned and new replacement seats installed to replace twisted originals. Seats plugged in and interior looking much improved. Testing for power to see if dashboard components work.
🌟 First Modification - Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel
With interior reassembly nearing completion, installing an aftermarket carbon fiber steering wheel as the first upgrade. Makes the interior feel more special. More work still needed under the hood before the BMW will start again.

Transcripts
my BMW x3m is finally back now it's been
a while since you guys have seen this
car and that's because the job that
we've tackled on this is the biggest job
I've ever undertaken the interior is
completely stripped and the engine isn't
in the car either along with so many
other bits which we've had to removed in
order to fit the new chassis leg which
has now been replaced by the guys evolve
accident repair center for this brand
new one which we got from BMW and I
couldn't be happier with the job they've
done and while I'd have loved to do this
job all on my own I think it's better to
be safe when it comes to structural
parts of the car whilst I don't know
what I'm doing but it's definitely been
a good opportunity for me to learn for
the future now although we are way past
the halfway mark there's still so much
more work to do in order to get this x3m
back on the road but now that the
chassis leg has been replaced by the
guys that evolv and I cannot thank them
enough we've got to get back to work but
I've got one big
problem and that's because it's been so
long since I've worked on this car it
was weeks ago which I took the engine
out and stripped the interior down and I
can't remember where anything goes
anymore so now I've essentially got a
bare shell which I've got to build back
up with next to no recollection of how
anything goes together which definitely
makes this project which I bought
knowing this would be one of the hardest
things I've ever done a little bit
harder but there's only one thing that
we can do and that's what I do best
which is getting stuck right back into
it and figuring stuff out now I'm going
to have some help pop by later which I'm
definitely going to need but for now
let's try and get started reassembling
my direct BMW
x3m now the only saving grace here is
that I've actually filmed everything
I've done on this car and I'm going to
try and use that to help jog my memory
but there's so much stuff which doesn't
make the cut and so much stuff that gets
missed on camera there's definitely
going to be gaps in the information that
I've got but one thing I do know is all
of this wiring is for the engine bay so
that doesn't need to be in the interior
so we can get that pushed back through
the firewall and back where it belongs
so now that that new chassis leg is in
place and looking perfect we need to get
the wiring back in the engine bay so we
can plug everything in when it comes to
that engine going back
[Music]
in So once all the wiring is pushed
through the firewall we can now start
hooking up some of the other bits so the
first thing to go in is the brake
booster followed by the master cylinder
which is bolted into the booster with
two bolts on the front but once that's
in then we can start playing around the
brake lines to get these back into place
but in reality at this point I'm just
getting warmed up and trying to jog my
memory and see how much I can remember
about this
[Music]
car right master cylinder in brake
booster in brake lines are on and
clipped in and roughly where they need
to be and I've cleared out some of the
Interior from some of the bits and Bobs
that have been left in there but now
this is looking pretty Grim so I think
we need to clean this first and then I
think I can put the carpet back in I
can't see a reason why I shouldn't be
able to cuz I remember that being the
last thing that came out out so that's
the next job because the windscreen was
removed at the body shop that means that
there is all sorts of mess inside the
car it's inevitable but it's nothing
that a quick Hoover can't sort out and a
wipe down and once all of that's done I
can start plugging in this junction box
for some of the Interior wiring and then
we can lay in the carpet to give
ourselves the best access I remove the
steering column and also the dash frame
as well now if you've been watching the
previous videos on this car you'll
remember that this Frame is completely
Twisted from the accident and it's
definitely not going to work in the car
in the future but we've got a solution
to that later but now I think I've
buttoned up everything there we can now
put the carpet inside the
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
car and once I took through all of the
wiring and what I thought was the right
places I can now fasten in the brake
pedal which bolts onto the back of the
brake
[Music]
booster
and also the most important pedal out of
the two the throttle pedal that one
bolts in just through one bolt through
the floor and a clip and also plugs in
through the
carpet I'm actually getting on a bit
better than I thought to be honest with
you I thought I'd be a little bit more
clueless than I am but I'm not going to
claim I'm a pro by a long stretch but I
think the next thing to go in now is the
air bag ECU now I've had this reset and
it should be ready to bolt back in and
be good to go so that's the next bit to
go in so we can get that plugged in but
as always it's one step forward and two
steps back I've just realized I've left
this out which is a bit of foam which
goes underneath the carpet so I've got
to take that back out and put it all
back together again this is just how it
goes it's a learning curve right the
next thing to look at has been an
absolute nightmare one dash frame two
dash frame and an Ethan yeah so here's
my predicament this is the frame which I
bought which I paid good money for Ethan
you want to show what's wrong with it
yeah that's yeah yeah yeah that ain't
good and the other thing is I also
bought the heater off him and that's
broke as well so what a guide nice one
so here is another frame which I've
bought off a subscriber the frame is
actually fine on this one I only paid 50
Quid for it so that was wicked another
problem is that there's some damage
again to the heater which seems to be a
never ending problem really oh yeah and
also they've cut every single plug off
the frame as well so we're going to have
to use this Frame whichever heater we
can make the best using all the parts
that we've got and also I've got another
dashboard which will be fine so we've
going to strip it right back down to the
frame and build it back up which is
going to be fun sometimes I love
cars so here was our plan of action we
were going to use the good frame which I
bought off the subscriber and then build
a heater out of the three which I've got
which are all damaged and then we're
going to use the original wiring which
came with the car so that way that we
know that there's going to be no
differences at
all
[Music]
so now we've got the loom mounted on the
frame and now we can mount the heater
box up to
that this has been such an overly
complicated situation for what should be
quite a simple task but sometimes that's
just how it goes there we go the dash
frame is back together with a completely
intact heater and we've already found
another problem so everything about
these frames looks identical apart from
one thing I noticed on these bits here
which go just above the speedo there is
no tabs here and on that one there is
tabs and I've figured out exactly why
that is because this is off a non
headsup display model and mine is a
heads up display one so do I go and buy
another frame absolutely not we're going
to transfer those tabs over to this one
and still put put it in Ethan's going to
get done tomorrow morning top guy my man
all it will take is a little tack weld
and all it's holding is a heads up
display screen so it's nothing
structural there nothing to worry about
all we need is a place to bolt it up
right we've done everything we can with
the dashboard now we've got to wait
until Ethan gets that welded tomorrow
and we can turn our attention onto the
engine how's the condition that's broken
that's broken that's broken probably
this is broken nearly every coant part
is broken yeah it is what the hell is
that come let's fix it yes let's fix
stuff I'm going to start with the turbos
Matt what are you going to do the broken
bits Liam moral support Ethan uh don't
know good so while we're waiting for the
dash frame the boys all showed up and we
got stuck right into the engine so I was
tackling fit in the new turbos which
you'll see in a little bit Matt tackled
some of the broken coolant lines on the
front Liam did something and Ethan did
something else now because we're going
to be changing the turbos it's good
practice to replace what feeds the
turbos as well so we're going to replace
the oil feed and drain and also the
coolant feed and return as well so we
can remove the old ones from the car and
replace them with the new ones but one
of them was very awkward we're three
down one to go struggling on this one
this one is become one with the
engine and now feel like a
caveman all right tag team e how's that
going well
[Music]
it's doing the Mad in it proper mazine
here is a masino right Matt's failed
Ethan's failed we're subing in for Liam
it's like The Sword in the Stone
hairline looks good for me
Liam we've got everything on it we got a
heat gun we got the
hammer we got the grips it's just there
I've got some corrosion NE just here
which not only does it insulate
lubricate penetrate actually protect as
well so let's try some of that wow oh my
goodness it's good isn't it wow and it
smells great God look at
it I'm glad we replace that now oh my
goodness wow yeah why is it like that oh
my goodness oh my goodness
Liam yes show us what's in the
[Music]
[Laughter]
box
great wait for
it
oh Bo delicious what's that thing they
do with
the the aliens on Toy Story oh
yeah he right it's time for the litco L
hybrid turbos to go on what size is the
uh impeller there s big big do you want
know how much power it's going to make
how many Lots yeah mt's going to be the
exhaust did it do it no
no add some more PSI here we go
[Music]
ready any good no you need to cover off
the other exhaust parts you do first
yeah I can't do
any I'll do okay yeah good give me some
back pressure
[Music]
here nothing nothing it's not happening
maybe we should see if the engine can do
it which in reality was probably a good
idea so the first one to go on is the
front turbo so we can drop that into
place and do the bolts
up are you okay
[Music]
yeah so Matt's doing those up but while
he's doing that I'll explain to you
quickly for those of you that haven't
seen that these are lito hybrid turbos
so these are great graded standard
models so they're going to produce more
power but that does mean that we're
going to need to upgrade some other
parts very soon in order to support that
[Music]
montage and now the actuators are fitted
on both the turbos we can move on to
some other bits and part of that is
going to be finding where all of this
mess
goes ice cream so good I did some
it
and the biggest part of that mess is the
wiring in the engine bay so it took all
of us to try and figure out where all of
these pieces go and where they're going
to line up with once the engine's back
in but as you can see some of us were
working harder than others but it was so
good to have the boys around helping out
on this car it's the first time they've
seen it and they definitely saved me a
few hours by popping over to help so
massive shout out to all of
them thanks for your help Liam thanks
Liam thanks M nice to see you thanks
Jack you did absolutely
nothing love you Ethan right next day
and we are back in the garage working on
the X3 and I've got to thank the boys
for popping around last night they
really helped out we've got the wiring
kind of roughly where it needs to be in
the engine bay and the engine we've made
a start on getting that back in one
piece ready to go back in the car but
for this video I really want to make
sure I get this interior sorted so the
dashboard is the next thing to do and
Ethan has come back with the dash frame
which has now had these tabs welded on
it from the other one so Ethan the
Moment of Truth see if it Lins
up okay okay boom boom
nice succession top guy shout out to my
cousin big up Ethan's cousin big man
Eden me and eth are happy with the frame
that looks good and we're happy with the
heat that we've built up this is the one
that came out of the car that was
damaged already and everything looks
identical and this is the loom off this
Frame as well so everything does plug up
but it has been an absolute nightmare
but we're only going to find out if this
is right in one way and that's just by
getting it in I think get in let's get
her in go on mate let's do it so we can
start laying the dash frame back inside
the car now this one is a little bit
Rusty but I was going to clean it up but
then I realized for how much work that
was going to be you don't even see it
anyway so I might have cut a tiny corner
there but the last thing you want to do
is buy used car and think it's perfect
and later on down the line find out it's
been crashed and repaired badly which is
exactly the reason why when you're
buying a used car you need to check it
out with car vertical so whilst me and
Ethan repair my category S car let's
have a look at the report of another one
so check out this BMW X5 we can see it's
got a green tick for odometer but
warnings on financial and legal status
and damage as well and when we scroll
down just a tiny bit instantly we can
see photos from when the car was damaged
and it actually doesn't look too bad
until you get to the back end of the car
where it looks like the rear subframe
has been ripped off okay so the dash
frame is in and looking gravy now we've
going to trying to reassemble the new
dashboard and we've noticed we're
missing a few duting pipes we got this
one to go
in this is why you don't keep your car
parts outside
because maybe we should clean it out
first before we put it in that's okay
lesson learned right let's get that
cleaned up
and get it put
[Music]
in clean I'm definitely putting a
trumpet noise over you doing that but
when we scroll down on this BMW X5 we
can see the mileage does check out due
to there being no dips in the odometer
graph but it's got the dreaded category
B right off meaning this car can never
go back on the road and is only good for
parts Okay so we've got the column into
the rack
good all we need to do now is about the
column up to the dash frame and that's
secure then then we can start looking at
putting that new dashboard in so we've
got four bolts here two of them are on a
springloaded oh no they're not doesn't
matter anyway so we can put this one
here that one
there God that looks good right there so
to make sure you don't get duped when
you're buying a used car make sure to
check it out with car vertical first to
make sure that it's not got any hidden
history you can use the link in the
description but make sure to use
discount code Chris cuz that's going to
save you some money does it work
oh it works back in the
X3 do you know what this is going to do
what Gap
everything professional professional
good okay now the next thing to do is
take the steering wheel off because we
need to do that in order to fit the
dashboard
then the dashboard's going to be a
nightmare I know it is it's we're going
to do it in like half an hour see how
many wires are in here it's literally
spaghetti so we can now Gear Up to fit
the most important part of putting this
interior in because if we get this wrong
but we don't realize until later on in
the process that means that we've got to
take the full interior out again to
access something so me and Jack McNeil
spent the evening getting everything
ready checking everything over and doing
all of the pre-flight checks to see if
there's anything with missed and then
the next morning me and Ethan put the
actual dashboard itself
in so once we got it lined up we started
putting in some of the T20 bolts but we
were just praying at this point there's
nothing that we' missed or got in the
wrong
place but inevitably there was but
hopefully it was pretty minor there was
a clip missing for one of the bolts to
go into underneath the dashboard by the
a pillar so luckily me and Jack managed
to get a new clip squeezed on by using a
pair of pliers and a lot of fiddling and
then managed to get the bolt through but
hopefully that was the worst of
it but now with all of the T20 bolts in
that secure the dash to the Dash frame
it finally feels like we're making some
progress and it's starting to feel like
a car again rather than just a bare
shell I've missed having this car for so
many weeks now because I've been dying
to drive it but there's been nothing I
can do to speed up the process but now
it's back in my garage and it's in my
hands to get this job done now that
we're happy with the position of the
dashboard and the dash frame we can
start putting in some of the trims the
screens and everything else which goes
onto the
dashboard
but as I predicted this was always going
to be a nightmare cuz I could not
remember for the life of me what things
went where and in what order so every
single time a piece went in I had to
take it out again in order to fit
something else that goes in before it
and that's exactly what happened with
this dashboard screen but now the clock
Springs in place we can now put on the
cing that surrounds that and then also
fit the speedo and the vent and the
light switch which goes to the right
hand side of it after that we've got the
trim surround for the heads up display
screen
and then the radio and CD player can go
in followed by some of those Center
Trims and to make this even more
confusing the radio did have lots of
extra plug holes on the back which there
wasn't wise for so that just made you
even more nervous that you'd miss
something but we were starting to make
really good progress and pick up a bit
of a flow and get going a little bit
better on this
dashboard
or at least that's how I felt anyway
until straight away something kicks you
straight in the face when I say this is
hard work I mean it's no joke every
single piece I've got the wiring in the
wrong place and there's some plugs I
can't find and some things that I can't
find the plugs for it's becoming a bit
of a nightmare so I'm trying to get this
in and I've got the plugs for the center
here I have no idea where this goes and
also I'm missing the plug for the start
stop button okay never mind I've just
found the plug for the start stop and
also I've just watched myself on YouTube
and completely forgot this wire here is
for a screen which I completely forgot
the car has which goes just here so that
answers all of this never mind the flow
is restored so we can now fit up that
Center screen and plug that in and then
also the center Vents and start stop
button trim as well and now the
dashboard is more or less complete we
can put in the center console and try
and root all the wiing for that
so I can now do up the six big bolts
which tie this into the body of the
[Music]
car and then plug in and pop in the trim
at the back for the heat events now this
is actually a new center console which I
had to pick up because the old one was
damaged by the seats which twisted and
had to be
replaced in next is the center couldb
and cup holder set section followed by
the gear stick and also the surround and
trim for everything
[Music]
else and I was pretty happy I managed to
get that in
yes yes yes yes yes but unfortunately
we're still far from done the next thing
to go in is the subwoofer covers on both
sides followed by the glove
[Music]
box but the further through this job
that we get the easier it's getting and
the parts pile is getting smaller
meaning that everything's going together
that little bit easier words cannot
describe how painful this has been doing
this job every single piece I put in has
got to come out three more times before
it can go in for the final time so it
took me like 3 days to do this it's no
joke but we are finally making some
progress now we've got the dashboard in
we've got the center console in the only
plugs left unplugged are these ones here
for the speaker and light on on well
just by the pedals one here for the knee
airbag and all of that is because we're
missing a bit of heater trunk in so I
need to get that put that in and then
put those bits in and we'll be good
there next thing is the seat belt I've
Got Away quite lucky on this cuz only
one of them is locked out and I've
managed to pick up just one so we can
get that swapped over relatively easily
so we can unbolt the old locked out seat
belt from the car with the four bolts
which hold it in place and then replace
it with the new one and then pop the
trims back into place but the whole car
is still looking a little bit rough so
it definitely needs a quick cleanup so I
go over all of the carpets and pedals
with an interior cleaner and then give
it a good wet V which is just going to
refresh those carpets ready for the rest
of the Interior to go
[Music]
in finally I'm feeling positive about
this interior we've come so far with
this but we're missing one crucial
ingredient to this massive con coction
of parts and that is the seats one of
the most important parts of the interior
and that's what's next to go in if you
remember from the earlier videos on this
car the old seats Twisted on their Fram
so although the airbags didn't go off
they are no longer safe to go back in
this car so I've had to pick up some new
ones but we've got some plans with the
old ones which you might see in the
future and that is exactly what we've
got here in the back of my van yes they
are minion and dirty but they are x3m
seats and they're going to be perfect as
they are the exact specification of my
old ones let's get them
in this has been by far one of the most
challenging videos I've ever
filmed I can't remember how this seat
goes in and if you've watched this far
into this video chances are you're
enjoying it so make sure to go down
there and
[Music]
subscribe now with both of the seats
plugged in and bolted down we can also
give these a well needed
clean
[Music]
well that feels like a massive weight
off my shoulders that's most of the
Interior back together and it's come so
far from when we got it originally all
the seats being Twisted the dash frame
being twisted and nothing quite fitting
properly to where it is now with fresh
seats a new dashboarding and everything
lining up exactly as it should some of
the viewers out there thought car
shouldn't be saved but it's nice to see
that we can get this car finally back in
a good condition I want to try and see
if and can get these seats in a more
sensible position now obviously I'm not
100% sure we going to get power to the
interior or not with the way that
everything is at the front but it's
worth a try so to make sure that we
don't spray fuel everywhere if it comes
on I have just gone underneath the rear
seat and disconnected the fuel pump so
hopefully that means that we're not
going to spray everywhere and I've just
hooked up a little trickle ch charger
cuz this battery is going to be dead as
a Dodo so let's see if when I flip this
on we get power
yeah now I don't want to leave it like
this for too long but oh damn it okay
well the key does absolutely nothing
let's try putting this here let's put
that
there still no power in the seats come
on please going to try both keys just
there and see if that
works oh she's trying she's
trying if I had to guess it's just cuz
that battery which is on there is puny
and I don't think it's going to have
enough power to even try and start this
but the good news
is we have lights on the dashboard we
have some sort of ignition the screen
seems to be working this hasn't come to
life but it has it's come to life it's
come to life it's come to life is doing
things everything seems to be lighting
up and the heaters are trying to blow
let's turn those off cuz that's going to
be sapping the power come on one more
try she's moving a tiny bit come
on it's very slow yes yes yes yes yes
yes it looks like everything's working
which is good oh I'm excited I'm so
excited I'm so glad this car's back but
let's leave it on charge for a bit and
see if we can get these seats moved for
that my BMW you have earned back your
your plaque of
Honor yes oh it's trying it's going it's
going it's going yeah
[Music]
yes I can get to the first bolt hole
let's keep going a bit
more oh See's trying to fall over let's
get a bolt in I'm not sure what it is
but it's just missing something at this
moment in time it's nice but that's it I
like things to feel a little bit more
special a little bit more of an occasion
when you drive them
and I think we need to go a bit further
with this but that is definitely
something that we can sort and we're
going to start with this this is an item
which I got from the guys at wheel
finesse we've worked with these guys
loads before on steering wheel covers on
the golf on the Hyundai on the TT but
this one is special this is a carbon
fiber wheel and even better than that it
retains the heated functions and it's
got Alcantara sides with the m stitch in
to match the seat belts and I'm in love
with it I couldn't be happier with it
but I want to see it on the
car so we got to strip down the old
wheel transfer everything over and then
we can see what it's going to look like
so the first modification for the BMW
x3m is a carbon fiber steering wheel and
like I said we need to take everything
off the old one in order to transfer it
over to the new one so all the trims the
buttons the paddles everything like
that but now that that's done how much
better does this new steering wheel look
than the old old one it looks like a
proper performance car steering wheel
and that's exactly what this BMW x3m is
going to be yes how good does that look
and now because I can sit in the car we
can fit it and it shouldn't take us long
at all so this going to be the final
finishing piece to the puzzle of the x3m
interior for this video so here we
go oh that looks so good
God damn now annoyingly I broke this
trim just here only super minor but I'm
going to order a replacement cuz I know
that will bug me cuz I'll be able to
feel it while I'm driving so that's
going to stay off and I haven't got a
proper airbag yet but we've got a new
cover from the guys at wheel finesse as
well so for now we can pretend it has
got an airbag even though it
hasn't but yes it looks something like
that that looks sick I've got to thank
wheel forness so much for this it looks
mint oh I love it if you do want to get
one of these for yourself the carbon
wheels are specially made to order so DM
them on Instagram the Link's going to be
in the description and there'll also be
a discount code down there as well well
you can still get the stitch on wheel
covers like you've seen on the channel
before on their website so yeah how mint
is that I can't get over it it just how
much better does that make the interior
look and how much of a transformation is
that from the start of this video we've
gone from pretty much a bare Shell Con
complete stri back to a fully
functioning nearly complete interior all
we need to do is the curtain airbags and
hook up the seat belts and hook up the
knee airbag and a heat event and that is
it done I'm so happy right now honestly
I can't believe I'm satting this car
again it's been gone for way too long
and I apologize about that but I've I've
missed it too
okay and let's not foret forget I'm not
a trade mechanic in any way shape or
form the only qualification I've got is
in music so the fact that I've been able
to put this interior back together I'm
super proud it just goes to show it
doesn't matter how stupid you are if you
try and have a bit of patience you can
achieve something pretty special but
that does not mean that this project is
done because we' still got so much more
to do in the engine bay well we need an
engine it before it'll even start so for
that you're going to have to wait until
the next video so make sure you
subscribe subri if you're not already
make sure you like this video and I'll
catch you next time
