    This week, we're trying to revive Edwin's half finished project car E36 that he bought for way too much money a few weeks ago. Will we get the car running and on the road with a fresh MOT, or will someone else's project car prove an impossible task to fix?
    Huge shout out to BC Racing for getting the coilovers to us so fast! If you want a set, head here 👉 www.bc-racing.co.uk
    Massive thank you to Smart Rimz Oxford for their help refurbishing the E36s wheels! 👉

      Once Car Throttle lost Alex, they decided to get their head out of their arse and give the hosts a decent budget to work with, this is something Alex touched on in a podcast appearance, one of the reasons he left, it’s good to see this channel pumping out good content once again

    This is looking good boys, this E36 is going to look great again! I also have a sedan from '98, it's a 318i Edition with lots of options like climate control, cruise control, park distance control. Lovely car, exept the head gasket... that sadly blew out a few days ago. It's leaking coolant at the exhaust side of the engine. So we have some work to do. :) Good luck on your E36 project guys!

    I've started working on my project beetle, parked it about 10 years ago, paint looks a bit rough in spots even though it has never seen a day's rain. Suspect the old guy that did most of the bodywork didn't clean spots well enough before painting. Hardest part is finding all the bots and bobs that I still need to put back, luckily it is only a few interior items, and windows that needs to go in. We even redid the cylinder heads, then I drove it about 200m home and parked it. Going to sell it,m but already have all the parts, so moight as well complete the work and get as much as I can for the car. Luckily done in a 1pack paint so pretty easy to paint again, Its like 30 GBP for 5 liters. At least for our MOT, you just take a place in the que, no appointments.
