Rightfully so, I received some negative feedback from this video. This was more of a test for me as an amateur. This isn't the correct way to fix things. I will be replacing the tailgate with a solid one of any colour, and repaint it, but properly this time.

Thanks for watching. In this video/short film, I'm restoring the rear end of my BMW E30 325i wagon. The car is now 30 years old and starting to show it. As soon as I got to Spain, someone hit the rear end in a car park, smashing the rear light. That event motivated me to do spot repair and light change video. Well, this video is a lot more than that. I truly opened a can of worms on this one. The trunk came off and the glass comes out. It quickly turned into a FULL rear end restoration. Grab some snacks and enjoy!
