    First day of a long process

    Today my late Christmas present arrived. After searching for about 3 months for my next car I stumbled upon this piece of work. Its a 1981 bmw 528i. It is a a sort of rough shape. I'll start with whats wrong. Clutch slave is dead, floors need to be replaced, lots and lots of body work, and just piecing back together the entire car. The good leather and door panels are in mint condition, no tears, cracks, and wood is still perfect, new exhaust, radiator, and battery. I will just leave two little pictures until i go back out today and take some more. Thanks for your time.

    Nice! Looks like you have some fun work to do! Paint? It looks like it used to be a nice off-white. I really want to own an E12 at some point in my life

      yeaa paint is going still being decided and the rims are as well, the reason i bought this is because you really don't see e12s but a lot of e28s. I love them both but i had to snatch this one up. Its definitely going to be a lot of work. I just ordered a new clutch slave today and pans so by the weekend I'll post up pictures more of the interior and the progress.
