Bring my car back to its former glory.
I took my 1985 325e to a car mechanic and asked him to find everything wrong with the car. I need to know what is needed immediately, soon, and when I have money for it. I can do a lot of the work with my step father as he owns a car shop and has done a lot of work before. If you know the cost of parts for something that would be awesome. So here is the red list.
Things I think can wait
Ac condenser is missing...
Heater fan is noisey.
Power antenna is seized
Washed bottle and and motor are missing...??
Passenger window doesn't roll up the last .1"
Left door handle is loose
Hood does not latch (zip ties for the win)
Shifter housing is worn out
Power steering doesn't work
Wiring up front is partially cracked
Muffler is rusted and leaks
And now for the fun list more immediate repairs
Odometer speedometer and temperature gauges inoperable
Air box mounts are broken
Altitude sensor is broken
Valve cover gasket leaks oil
Shifter housing bushing is missing....
Shift shaft and output shaft leak transmission oil
Engine oil pan cracked
Oil pressure switch leaks oil
Cylinder head leaks oil externally
Lower radiator hose leaks coolant
Front and rear control arm bushings cracked
That's it just a small list of minor flaws :(
And guesses as far as cost of fixing individual or all of these would be helpful. I could get he purchase price back and sell it without a problem so i want to know is it worth it or should I save this headache and by a better e30 or other bmw
