BMW E30 Gas Tank Restoration

In this episode, I restore the fuel tank from the 325i Sport. It looked as if all it needed was a clean, but after looking a bit closer, a lot of rust was hiding under the thick paint this fuel tank has.

Most of the tank was in great condition and didn't need touching. But as I was already painting the edges I thought a few more coats of paint wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for watching! Subscribe with the bell on to see this car back to the factory condition.
