In this episode of Restore It, I continue with the BMW E30 325i Touring restoration. The main goal of this episode is to get the car at least cranking, if not running and idling. It's been four years since the car was last started and it's refusing to crank. I also remove the old foam and glue from the headliner, take a look at the rusty sunroof panel and dismantle the wing mirrors in preparation for shot blasting and painting.
