I think he's taking the mick... you don't get out what you put in. 12k would be ambitious.

dear God why would ANYONE want to pay that money for it?!? If you were so into individualising your car, why spend that money on something someone else has already individualised?

Ok not taking the price into account, it ain't the worst car i've ever seen but i'm a sucker for flared arches. I've seen the car somewhere before i'm sure, think the rims are by Image in the UK. Agree with TJ though, it would be cheaper to personalise your own motor than to buy someone elses work. I don't think he'll get near that money for it but theres always one lol!

Yep, that is one of the sweetest E30 M3's your ever likely to see IMO. The guy who owns it posts on the M power forum and i think he does car detailing, can ya tell!

Just a touch! After seeing the result on that car I got the same wax, Zaino - now I just need to get off my @rse and use it.

Me thinks it might lose a few originality points at a Concours.

Here's a profile of the type of person that might want to own a car like this:

Interests: American Wrestling
Age: 7-10
Favorite Food: Chewing Gum
Favorite Music: 50 Cent, P Diddy
Idol: Ali G

On top of all of that, to meet the very reasonable asking price, they'd need to have a very fat little piggy bank, as well as a pending SSIA windfall.

I think we're talking about quite a small percentage of second-hand car buyers?
Have you any old autographs or tapes...

Now: E39 523i, Audi A6 Avant Quattro, E30 318i Cab
Then: E36 320i, E34 520i, E30 323i

All credit to the owner who obviously has put a lot of time and effort into modding the E30 325, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that was a good car at one time.

36k...not a  chance!

Rhys - the problem with them is that the prices don't include VRT!

Hasnt a hope in hell of selling her at that price.
He obviously went off and added up how much it cost him to turn a once beautiful car into the above, you never get back what you put in.

Have to give him respect for the quality of the work even though its nowhere near my tastes.

I really have to wonder what goes on in some peoples minds. Like, how can you really put a car like that up for sale for 36k? It's true what they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Methinks the car is not really for sale. Just a clever way by the owner to advertise his new company

20 carzone ad -> get some mates to post in popular car (modding) forums -> lots of attention ;)

That price is the laugh of the day that guy must still be high on his paint fumes lol

For that money you could get far bewtter machinery and the VRT isn't that bad on older cars
