    My $200 89 IX

    Just did a job on a Lotus Elan in CT and the guy told me his friends son had a BMW like my 87 is that was about to go to the junk yard due to a popped motor, so i got the address and went in search of it. After locating it I talked to the guy and found a Very Clean Alpine white 89 IX sitting behind his house with no cyl head. So i bought it with a clean title for 200 bucks! This was yesterday so i went today with a buddies trailer and picked it up.
    Im workin on getting a motor courtesy of a R3v member

    Heres what im working with!







    after a wash

                        haha he was glad to be rid of it, it sat in his yard for 6 months and he had no interest in it i jumped on it before he had time to realize i would pay more for it
