Thanks. Cant wait to drive her already!!

How could you say no to that for free? Lucky man

Yes sir haha... Can't say no. I'm happy its ready to hit the road.

That's just not fair . . .
I'm happy for you though, looks like its in good hands.

I never get deals like this... I got super lucky! I'm pleased to say the least. It does need a fair amount of work to really become awesome.

Thanks! They're fairly inexpensive!

Sooo this thread needs a much needed bump.

I didn't get the chance to really work as quickly as I wanted on the car but I finally made some progress.

I replaced the dash and cleaned up the interior. I didn't get around to the windshield just yet because I wasn't able to find someone that could replace it at my garage space... the car isn't registered for the road yet.

What a long process it was without yanking the glass. I wouldn't say it was very difficult though... It took me about 2hrs to pull everything out and then another 3 to reinstall everything (cleaning stuff, new foam etc...)

Anyways, pics for clicks:



So much room with this stuff removed!



The culprit...



Coming together.



Vacuumed everything and put a coat of vinyl protection! Pretty much finished... still waiting to receive the console trim from BMW and I have to order a new radio :)



Before pic for reference:

I didn't see any light poles in that lot, good choice. Sounds good, I bet you're grinning from ear to ear.

LOL... no light poles. This is where my garage is located in a private lot :D

The car runs beautifully now!

Wires
Plugs
Distributor Rotor & Cap

And some fun footage:

Werd. I'll see if I can find one to test! Same as the m20?

Yup

[dude8383]

NVM, just cross referenced it :) Same for m20's! Sweet, I should have something,

[dude8383]

Make sure to swap the coil out with one you know that works. I tracked down a faulty coil that would work when it wanted to.

Nice score Denis.

I want an e28 so bad. i love the eurolamps with the diving boards.

Lol you can have my diving boards when I get rid of them! They add like a foot to the overall length of the car... its nuts.
