This will be a car again
#1
I had a "stolen" BMW "used for a bank job" that I needed to get rid of. I convinced a younger man to trade a haunted Miata for it. I just needed something with a clean title, and I don't believe in ghosts. After laying low for a few months I figured I'd see if I could turn it back into a fun car!
I picked a rainy day to fail roll starting it down the driveway. But with a jump it starts, it runs, it drives!

And compression test ok! But it's got positive camber on the right front. Subframe, frame rails, and control arms seem ok by my crude measurements. I removed the headlights and front clip to confirm the damage is all in the core support, seems to have pushed the right strut mount out a bit.

I'm not sure what the plan is but I'll keep you in the loop. It ends in me driving most of this car to FL for the GRM 2016 challenge.
