well I picked up another busted pile on Saturday. I found an 88 325i convertible that was about 20 mins from my parents house and had been in a minor front end wreck a year ago. It sat for this past year with the top leaking away and filling the interior with water and mildew :twisted:
My friend Eric and I split the $300 price and it actually started after he charged the battery! The same problem as eric's car kept it from idiling- slit in the intake hose, but I just kept it revved and drove it quickly home and hid it in my parents horse stall.
Sorry I can't get pics up... not on my own computer, but I'll try soon.
The good:
-convertible parts are harder to come by so we can sell a lot of them
-engine is strong and seemed fine when I drove it- we'll keep it for a spare engine!
-had a sony cd player we can sell
-16" aftermarket wheels with kumos- another item to sell
-auto tranny we can sell
-dash is in great shape
-most of the gauges work (except the tach)
-I'm already finding tons of parts I need and they are only a few feet away from my 89!
The bad:
-minor front end damage, apparently the frame was bent so it was considered totaled
- crazy water in the car... smelled like somehting died but we ripped out the entire interior so its gone now
-one front headlight and the bumper are destroyed, but thats about it
guess thats about it... anybody need some parts??
