73 Malaga Bavaria

[thestein1016]

This is Katherine. She in a 73 E3 Bavaria that was handed down to me around 10-11 years ago. At the time, I was in college and had little time to work on her, so she sat at my parents house under a cover. It was only till these last couple years had she resurfaced in her former glory.

I once found a Bavaria in the junkyard :( It was rusted to hell though. It was literally more rust than sheet metal.

Such a shame. These cars are becoming very hard to find parts for

Nice E3 wih some basic stuff they clean up nice. This does not have the dreaded EGR valve that used to kill the head does it. When/If the engine dies and that's an if swap in a M30b3X and it will wake it up.

I opted to pull the big six and replace it with a m30b28 euro spec.
Here she is waiting install

It's going to need some classy period correct non bling wheels and proper sized rubber and maybe some Bilstein's. How dried out is the rubber in the suspension.
