Happy New Year, everyone! The first video of 2025 and it's a big one! Tearing down the S62 engine down to the last bolt.
The plan is, as per usual, to go OEM+. Well, maybe a bit more this time as my goal is to build a 500+ hp engine while staying N/A. :D
We'll keep ...

Hello from sunny Portugal! I'm away on vacation, but before leaving, I rebooted project Skövde! It's been 347 years since the last video on this Swedish slice of rust.
We are going all out with the mighty E39 M5. It's going to be a long and arduous project, but as one my ...

Part 10 and what is the last episode on project Rottweil (at least for foreseeable future).
The transformation from destroyed and abandoned at the back of the used car lot to the ultimate OEM+ sleeper E39 has been completed!

Part 12 of project Marseille! Given that the chassis was fully stripped not that long ago, we are making great progress with the E31.
The amount of work to restore a car on your own is tremendous. In this episode, I tried to capture that and I filmed everything, down t...
EDIT: Apologies, I had to reupload the video.
A few of you commented that you didn't like the new visual and sound effects so I removed them. I know from experience if I get a few complaints now, it will be a thousand more once the video goes live. So it's back to normal now!
This also means that all of the comments are unfortunately gone, please feel free to comment again.

I bet you didn't expect that! M539 Plus, a 2nd channel!
This has been on my mind for a long time. I often wanna film or do something potentially interesting, but end up not doing it as I think it won't do well or not enough to make for one episode, or whatever else.

The longest-running project on the channel continues: project Cologne!
I've been working on the E46 this past summer, in between other projects, so this is the summer of that work. I'm not gonna spoil the results, but I am really happy with the progress of this car!

We are finally here. After many, many, many, many, many... many obstacles, we reached the end of the road with project Maserati.
Of course, it fought me well until the very end. But, it's back on the road. It looks great, it drives great!
It was a hell of an exp...

The final chapter of project Fresno has arrived.
Sabine Schmitz & BMW M5, a legendary duo that I wanted to celebrate the moment I bought this car. All M5 Ring Taxis were Alpine white and the E60 M5 became the most famous one, courtesy o...

The first episode of project Fresno is here!
I impulse purchased this magnificent example of the V10 M5 manual at a salvage auction. I thought it would be a breeze to get it back on the road, but I was wrong. We have hidden engine damage and it's going to be a challenge...

The adventure with Maserati continues, but it looks like we finally caught a break. I bought what appears to be a brand-new engine!
Hopefully, the following episode will be the last one of the series, but let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. We need to do some stress te...
That's right, fellas and fellettes! We are saving another one!
I scooped up yet another 1 of 1364 6-speed manual E60 M5s for the North American market.
You all know by now that I'm deeply in love with project Raleigh, and that the E60 M5 has become my favorite car, all because of the glorious S85 V10 engine paired with a 3rd pedal.
This purchase was totally unplanned. I actua...

Welp, this project series certainly had a lot of surprises in store for us. Absolutely nothing went to plan with the very first non-BMW project.
This was the last thing I expected would happen. I'm still having difficulties wrapping my brain around how quickly the engine...

This was supposed to be the last episode of this project, but it isn't.
I don't even know what to say or how to explain it at this point, but it's not good. Just watch the video.
The follow-up episode that will come next week should be rather interesting.

The V12 engine is back in project Marseille!
We have an old-school episode that's long, detailed, and technical.
It took a loooong time to complete all of the small jobs, but I must say, it was thoroughly satisfying and relaxing. I didn't rush, and I took my time wit...

The next installment of the Italian stallion, Maserati Quattroporte GTS.
Things didn't really go to plan. I wanted to have the engine back in the car and running in this episode. But, as it turns out, getting parts for this car is a nightmare. I thought BMW was bad with ...

Finally a new episode!
It's been ages since I posted, but believe me, it wasn't on purpose. You can thank Quattrobroken for that!
I've been busy working on 4 projects at the same time, and the plan was to have the Maserati done as soon as I came back from the US.

Say Aloha to the time capsule that is project Phoenix!
The most original and cleanest E31 I've come across. It's been off the road for 7 years, so why not revive it right there on the spot and drive it 600 miles? This was a perfect honeymoon!
I love doing these rev...

Part 2 of project not a BMW!
My road trip/honeymoon in the US is going great. Project Phoenix is back on the road, and got us back to LA, did 480 miles like it was nothing! The video on this will come once I'm back home.
In the meantime, ...
I'm going to a place I've wanted to visit since I was a kid - Hawaii! But, not before making a pit stop in Phoenix, Arizona.
In the spirit of the last video, where feedback is mostly positive, for those concerned about broken BMWs, you needn't worry. I got another one, lol.
This was sorta unplanned, but as we started planning our trip 2 week-long trip to Hawaii, I received an email ...

Hola amigos! Time to bask in the S65 V8 induction and exhaust noise!
First of all, I'm sorry for the long delay between videos. With the vacation and visiting my family, and then being miserably cold in the shop, it took longer to make this episode, but I think worth it....

Bonus last video for this year. A bit of work on the M5s and making project Raleigh sound even better!
