Finally got time and decent weather to work on the car. Just did a quick cleaning of all the pine needles and crap. Removed the passenger seat because it won’t fold forward, it was seized and wouldn’t slide forward. Put some PB Blaster on all the fasteners in the engine bay, and pulled the spark plugs to put some Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder.
Also got a knock on my door from the Sheriffs department asking if the car was abandoned or not. Then when I got home from taking my kids to school the CHP was outside with a tow truck and I had to stop them and show my documents. Now I have a sign in the window that says the car is NOT abandoned....
Anyway some update pictures. Can’t wait to get it running so I can give it an actual cleaning.

Making progress, I have some parts removed and “new” tires installed. Just took out the AC since it was empty and I don’t want to try to repair it. Also going to delete the OEM oil cooler as mine is dented in pretty good. At a standstill for a little bit as we got more snow, but hopefully I can finish up the timing belt/water pump etc in the next week or so.
Meanwhile, please vote for me in a contest: http://wshe.es/K3TW6Oj7

So I did end up winning $100 at FCP euro! I’ll definitely be putting that towards parts here soon. In the meantime I am just about finished with the whole timing belt replacement. Just have to put the radiator and hoses back. Then I can start focusing on the fuel system.
Check out my Instagram profile, I’m trying to post stuff on there.

Looks like a fun story and project, look forward to seeing more.
What I really wanna know is, how the hell the transaction went down, and how anyone at the house actually managed to produce the title. You've got some major cahones for even going up to a house like that to inquire about the car, strong work!'86 325e Zinnoberrot /// '02 325ci Schwarz II /// '18 M4 Azurite Black Metallic ///
