In the latest episode of Car Throttle, the lads are back at it, trying to resurrect their ill-fated E36. After the disastrous purchase, they've given themselves a tight two-week deadline to get this heap of metal back on the road. And let me tell you, it's no walk in the park. From removing the previous owner's dodgy modifications to replacing subframes and fixing broken bolts, the team is up to their elbows in work.
But it's not all doom and gloom. They find some hidden gems amidst the mess, like the previous owner's genius idea of cutting an aftermarket spring in half to lower the car. Truly a stroke of brilliance. And let's not forget the joy of discovering snapped studs and broken exhaust manifold bolts. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, they find frustration and disappointment.
To add to the drama, they bring in their sponsor, Car Vertical, to check the car's history. Turns out, this E36 has seen better days, with a laundry list of issues like crash damage and clocked mileage. It's a miracle they even managed to get it running. But hey, at least they have a working horn now, thanks to a shiny new steering wheel.
As the deadline looms closer, they tackle the wiring nightmare, removing layers of speaker wire and trying to make sense of the previous owner's handiwork. And let's not forget the joy of removing the old front end and installing new coilovers and wheels. It's a race against time, and the pressure is on. Will they be able to get this E36 roadworthy before the clock runs out? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure, it's been a rollercoaster of a journey for the Car Throttle boys.
