Vintage bmw questions

That's not surface rust......

some is the wheel arches arent those are toast. Its hard to tell really just need to see it in person. part of me wants to keep the e36 but part of me doesnt cause its an auto and boring.

I mean i got no problem repairing the rust either look at my build thread then tell me if I should.... what im finding on the internet is the 2500 is the brother of the 3.0si

I can't say it enough.........

DON'T MAKE YOUR DAILY A PROJECT CAR

Are you going to walk to work if it breaks down? you cant go to AutoZone for those convenient off the shelf parts. Oh.......and what about that e30 that's tore into a million pieces.

Do yourself a favor, quit bothering Blunt and delete the guys number. The e36 runs, you won;t be able to afford parts for anything when you;re sitting at home with 2 broken cars.

The guy has already daily drove it. the e36 is a project f'ing windows dont even work. Dont have blunts number was emailing him to see about part availability and because I had never seen a 2500 before. Also if I were to do this probably wont though cause Idk when I'm gonna hve to time to get to kearney anyways that cars 1500 sell the e36 for 2800 thats 1300 in my pocket to put in the e30 and that car. What you got me on is the fact that i do already got a good amount of shit done on the e36 motor wise. suspension wise the thing is a mess.

e36 still sounds like a better car. Just my opinion though. I daily an e36 and am quite happy with it overall.

Fixing the windows, and replacing some bushings and dampers is gonna be easier than keeping a 40 year old car road worthy enough to just hop in and go at any time.

Also, which would you rather be in an accident in?

Yea I know I think I'm just getting ahead of myself cause I want a vintage BMW. Probably just a bad decision I shouldn't make. I'm still gonna try and go see the thing just cause its so cool.

:woowoo:

tell that to my buddy who's mini just crapped out in the mountains, and is driving his GF's Echo. She's now stuck renting cars

I realized this little bit of golden advise several years ago. Makes life so much less stressful

[ThatOneEuroE30]

I hate the fact I know you guys are right haha. I really hope someone saves it. If any of you are lookin for a 2500 let me know haha I'll hook you up with the guy.

THIS! I learned that lesson the hard way, and said project car is still in pieces, as it has been for the past 5 years.

That car has way too much rust. I wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole. I can't imagine all rust hidden under that Nebraska car. If you like that old style, look for one from the South West. And don't spend too much. They will never gonna get collectible.

He actually sent me some pics of the underbody and there's not a spec of rust that I can see. That doesn't mean there isn't any I'd have to go look at it.

That thing looks rustier than first glance. That said, life is too short to daily e36s
Id rather walk or call AAA once in a while and drive something cool. I daily a 69 and once you get them up to snuff its reliable as hell
