There's a cracking amount of effort on this forum, and I want to Wikify the best bits. So I'd like you to nominate your favourite thread (yes, it can be your own) featuring an E30 restoration.

The only requirement is that the thread have lots and lots of photos. Snaps of your car in glossy paint are nice, but I really want to see rusty scabs, bare panels and empty engine bays.

So snap to it; post a link to your favourite Resto, and if you're lucky it'll end up here:

x-work's resto is incredible but I feel for hero level Jozi gets it. Outside in crappy irish weather and a real labour resto + combo engine swap!

Thanks Jos, it;s not all that bad though.

I'm going to suggest this one: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=165033

There was another good thread, can't remember who's it was but he made up his own m3-like arches and I think it was turbo'd?

Some excellent suggestions there, which have now been added. Jozi's one gets a particular thumbs-up from me.

For the others, I NEED a link to the thread, not just a name.
