    I saw the build thread on thealbert's car. I have never seen such a no-holds-barred restoration on an e30. That car is new.

    Awesome looking shop!

    I will be in Makati April 3rd - 7th for a quick business trip.. I realize it is Holy week but I'd love to meet up for lunch and possibly check the place out if you guys are around.

    I'm near Glorietta, so not too far away

    @BlackbirdM3: checked with the owner, and you were right - it is a '67. my bad :p

    @MrSlacker: the short answer is that by allying with bosch, we get a good support system in terms of knowledge base, supply chain, and even systems training. it also helps that they chipped in with displays, signage, and a few other things.

    @LuckyHenriksen: will do! hopefully the awesome e30s (and other cars) keep coming, so i can keep posting!

    Foust looks sunburned lol ^

    I love this. I can only dream that my shop will be this clean and orderly in the future. Great work, I now want to come down there to check it out. Please keep adding photos!

    Its got the wrong front fenders. The fender flare is too large to be an early 1600. That said, swapping fenders is pretty easy.

    Indeed! Quite a lot of responses! thealbert here, Frag's partner and the 3rd E30 nutter who set up the shop. I suppose Frag pretty much covered all the questions already. He did forget to add one set of pictures though. Top Gear USA host and drifting legend Tanner Foust was the in the Philippines working as a stunt driver for the latest Bourne Legacy movie. He dropped by, met up with Arc Automotive and gave us a big thumbs up!





    And just to share, here's my E30 baby. It was a full ground up restoration E30 325is with some minor mods here and there.











    Here are a few before, during and after restoration pictures. I'll be posting a thread on the restoration since it was document every single step of the way! In the meantime, here's a preview.







    More power to R3VLimited!
