My mate has a '92 BMW 316i which he got a few months back..
Now, it is in quite a state, aesthetically there are a few banged up pieces and scratches, and inside there are tears on the seats etc.
The clutch has also burnt out, although it still drives alright.
I've always wanted to buy a banged up car and work on it as a project to fix it up to the highest standards, and he would sell it to me for around 100 quid if I wanted it.
Is it worth buying at this price and just learning the ins and outs of a car by taking it apart and repairing it, or would it be too much work which would make it overpriced in the long run? (Also, insurance costs etc.)
I'm 18 too, going to take my 2nd test soon, so take that into account when answering my question
Thanks
