Edwin, the brave soul, has gone against all logic and purchased a half-finished project car. And what car did he choose? None other than a battered BMW E36. The poor thing looks like it's been through a war, with missing parts, broken studs, and a chassis that's seen better days. But Edwin sees potential in this sorry state of affairs, as he plans to transform it into a drift car.
The team gathers around the car, inspecting its sorry condition. They find more issues than they can count - rusty chassis, missing brake lights, and a stripped interior. It's a car that has clearly been through a lot, and not in a good way. But Edwin remains undeterred, determined to bring this E36 back to life.
To salvage the situation, the team decides to cannibalize another E36 for spare parts. They strip the donor car, collecting everything from the face to the indicators, lights, and front grill. It's a vulture-like operation, picking at the carcass of a once proud vehicle. But it's all in the name of breathing new life into Edwin's E36.
With the parts collected, the team prepares to embark on the arduous journey of restoring this dilapidated BMW. It's a challenge that will test their skills and patience, but they're up for it. Will Edwin's E36 rise from the ashes and become a drift car worth its weight in gold? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - this is going to be one hell of a ride.
