  • This week, Ethan and Jack take a look at Edwin's newest purchase; someone else's half finished project car E36. We'll see if it was a massive mistake and not worth the £1500 price, or if it might turn out to be a great deal on a DIY project car.

    I bought a Volvo 740 off a chap. He’d entirely rewired it to his own random pattern, and then handily resprayed under the bonnet so all the wires were the same metallic silver. The horn was connected to the indicator, it wouldn’t start with the door open, things like that. So that was fun.
