My arse did he do the work himself, little turd will have paid for that to be fixed...and it wasn't in a bad condition anyway, just a small bump on one corner.

its nice to see someone restoring an e30 but the paint (esp round the boot...or "trunk" if you will) looked very ropey.

The engine sounded like it was misfiring on start up!

nice car nevertheless.

It's a nice looking car and probably in better shape than most zoners turds.

Perhaps you need to get out a touch more if you consider this thread a worthy use of your time

or any glass, but for the sake of a few nuts to remove the lights, is very poor work, and to then post a video on youtube about it... :roll:

Awesome video tho! no dubstep music, no wheel spins or driftingn & no headlights & foglights on even though its daytime

Wish there were more e30 videos like this on the web. Shame it looks like more effort was put into the making of this video then the paint job itself.

But hats off to him for actually pulling his finger out and putting in the wrench time..

Yes, I wish the weather would get better too. I've got a cab that hasn't moved out of the garage for ages.. :D

Cheer up Buddy, it's not like you.

I have also been doing poorly on the impressionable teens front lately. I was grooming, sorry talking to a fine wench in a pub on Saturday when she let slip she was using fake ID and was in fact 15, even I had to draw a line :(

Once summer is in full swing and I can get up to my usual activities I'll be on the ball again. Besides, going back to college in September which opens up all sorts of possibilities :D

Nice video I thought.He mentioned he did the bodywork with someone else who owned the garage.Good to see a young lad with good taste in cars and who isn't a cock showing off on you tube. Nice car and I really like the red interior too.
