    This is Will's X5, and it's been abandoned under a tree for the past 3 years. Since starting this new channel, Will hasn't had time to fix the car yet. So today I'm going to steal it, bring him to the unit, surprise him with the car, and force him to fix it. What could possibly go wrong?
    A huge thank you to 👇

    Genuinely one of the realist youtube car revivals I've seen. Sometimes it's best to just start from fresh. There's a convertible in my life that's got a ruined interior, a power top that doesn't move, and a heater core to replace and while these are all things to be sorted on any classic. All at once is as much as finding one with any singular problem.
