Yeah, I thought the same as the others at first, but you've done a great job with fixing things up there!

I admire your patience, and it will be great to see the car on the road looking great once it is finished.

Muy Bein!

Very nice indeed. Did you take the rear quater of the damaged 323i and graft it to yours? Or was that scrapped? If so, thats some handy recycling! Great job either way.
