Im sure its been a while but X-Works thread as stickied in the Chat Zone is now pic-less.. How in God's name did that happen?

Any "back-up" on the Zone's servers?

I have a backup copy that could be reposted I think..

His M3 rebuild post got me passionate about rebuilding an e30 and that led to buying my project 318iS, which led to my second parts car 318iS, which of course, eventually led to the M3.. bloody hell he's cost me a fortune!!!

That thread is too awesome a resource to lose...

Perhaps it is worth contacting him to let him know and asking if someone else can host them?

I think there was talk of Xworks making this available on CD with full size pics. Shame that never happened.

I thought that was going to have to happen.. :(

It happened to my iS rebuild thread as I had hosted initially with imageshack and after 2 years they just deleted everything.. I have begun restoring those pics (not sure why.. :? ) so I know what you're going through..

It will be worth the effort as that thread really drew me in to the e30 world and gave me the motivation to attempt a full restoration despite knowing SFA about cars...

Truly epic and needs preserving... If I can help let me know...

Just see this post now lads. Really sorry I let the pics site slip out of licence.
Promise I'll make the time to fix the thread in the new year. Happy Christmas.
