bought a badly crashed e30 rally car and decided to repair it and get it running again. it was crashed with a na coswerth yb engine, 6 speed dog box, gaz gold suspension, wildwood brakes and a torsion diff. i paid quite a bit for the car so had to sell bits before the wife found out. diff, suspension, brakes, gearbox and engine sold so the car works out pretty cheap. i sent it to the bodywork shop and it was straightened on the jig and when i picked it up i was told it was pretty bent but now straighter than when it left the factory.

Looks a lot straighter now, what do you intend to use the car for?

It's quite impressive what can be done on a jig isn't it.
