3 months ago my dad wrote off his beloved E30 and almost himself too. Had some terrible injuries but the one he couldnt get over was he lost his little car... I hatched a plan..
Lets build another one..
So over the last month I built him another one, yesterday he saw it for the first time.

That is a stunning car

Hey Barry,
Yup it's a Breyton kit.. I wanted to give him something unique and something that he is not likely to see on
another car.. I picked up a loved but untidy 325i for a good price stripped it to bits repaired it respray end and added the Breyton kit and wheels.
Still have to put in the sports interior that I found and the running gear out of the wrecked car.

Mike, looking at the state of your old mans ex car,
and his present one, he is one lucky Father.
Fair play to you.

He's one lucky old dude...
a) to walk away from a nasty smash
b) to have a son that recognises his love of cars and goes to lengths to purchase and build him another!!!
Good on ya!!
