EP. 5 My BMW E30 Restoration - Front Struts - Complete Restoration & Upgrades

This is a video of the restoration of my front struts from my e30 touring. This is part of my subframe series where I am restoring each part of the front subframe assembly, with the struts I wanted to upgrade the brakes to Willwood Minilites to have enough stopping power with the s38 swap, and the upgrade to bc coilovers for the increased stiffness and adjustability.

I first disassembled both assemblies, then got the struts sand blasted, I then could cut the strut to accommodate the BC coilover sleeve which I then welded on. I used POR15 gloss black paint for the hub assembly which I prefer over powdercoating.
