Haha yeah this one took a little to finish up the editing. Super super long

Seeing cars in this state always makes me think about that period of time where iconic cars like this one, the e28 m5, and even the e30 m3 weren't held in as high regard as they are today. They could be bought for very little and as such were neglected. I wonder what modern day cars, if any, will see the same periods of neglect followed by a rise to the top like these have.

Also i have my doubts that a lot of modern cars will be able to reach the same milages as the cars from the 80´s/90´s. Certainly if we´re talking about 400k km! 😅 All these downsized engines have to endure way too much stress with todays hp figures and i don´t even wanna think about how people treat turbocharged engines. Many of them probably weren´t exactly properly warmed and especially cooled down during their drives.

Dude amazing! You really went above and beyond on this one! It was really neglected, but it’s come such a long way mechanically and now cosmetically thanks to your help. Couldn’t be happier with the results 🙏🙌
