Can I just say, I love personalized plates when and only when they are clever.  That Z plate is clever AF. Read more

hes done several articles on the Z if you click to his profile Read more

I love when parts earn some type of nickname because they are so destructive or such a pain in the ass to get to/work on like the VR6 ‘Crack Pipe’ or the MR2 ‘Hose from Hell’. Read more

I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your e30 series. You’ve amazed me every time that you’ve calmly handled a development that would have caused me to throw in the towel. Read more

Nice work! Encountered a similar issue on my brother’s Saab project where one side is a LOT rustier than the other, and it’s likely thanks to that one side having the battery tray so close by. For all we know, the previous owner may have left a battery in there while is sat for so long, and maybe it leaked out. That… Read more

That was a very good article. Thanks for posting it (and the pics)! Read more

Good job, man! I think I would have tried to source a whole new floor pan instead of patching all of those little holes, but I completely agree with the other repairs. Keep on practicing and those welds will look sweet. Also I really like those wheels on that particular car. Read more

As I told Peter during edits: I’ve seen far worse examples of these, and I have faith in him here. But it does really make me miss my E30. Read more
