Project E30 325I: IM STILL ALIVE!!! A time long long ago........
http://projecte30-325i.blogspot.com/2015/01/im-still-alive-time-long-long-ago.html
Full restoration of my BMW E30 to ultimate track / drift car. Lots of Blood, Sweat and Coffee. Thursday, 8 January 2015. A time long long ago. Well where do I start , going to do a list to make life easier and don't want to waffle :. Lost premises and previous help. The RED BMW E30 was just not worth saving after further investigation and was stripped and anything worth saving was sold or stored for myself. Separated from wife (not my choice buy hey ho). Money drama due to above! More time but less money.
