Just skip to post #188.....everything from here to there is bullshit.
Many of you know of my failed endeavor with my black 'vert with the argyle hood. Well....I'm back in topless business.
Long story short, someone posted this car on the FB group. It was in town, and cheap. Emailed the guy, and got a reply, got on the phone. 8 hours later, with the help of my friend Paul, the car was on a trailer sitting in front of the shop I work.
1991 318i, Laguna on beige. Pretty typical. 171k. Crack free dash, interior is 99%, just some minor issues with the seats, but nothing to warrant replacement. Will need a top, but the window is still in tact, so I'll patch the top for now.
Plans.....well...hmm....the M42 is popped. SO I'll be doubling the size of the powerplant and adding a gear to the transmission. My Lachs car is going to be going to E30 heaven, as the 'vert is a much better starting point for my M60/6 shenanigans. No rust, practically perfect interior, crack free dash.....
I feel good about this one. Nice, clean starting point. Really won't have to bring it up in anyway but mechanically.
