Story on the car. I first seen the car sitting in a junk yard with a slight fender bender and some little blemishes. It had a plastic bumper swap on it along with a red int. I just wanted it for parts for my 85 325e i had at the time. But the guy would not part it out.
Fast forward about two years later. My engine was getting pretty tired in my 85 e and i was thinking about replacing the whole car. So i remembered about this car sitting in the junk yard. I called the guy and got it for $800. I even drove it out of the yard and up onto the car trailer. But the car was in need of some minor repair and tlc to get it back up to snuff.
Once i got it road worthy, then came for the change in looks. I took the plastic bumper swap off and put the chrome euros on it along with the Zender front spoiler. Although i didnt stop there cause i kept looking for parts and buying them. I wanted to make it look like some retro 80's ride. I'm pretty sure i almost got it.
I know its a car that some love and there is some who hate it. It is my daily driver and the car isn't perfect but its different looking car that isn't like most others out there on the road. As the car sits today i need to put some TLC back into it.
