hey everybody been out of it for a while but just picked up a new project. A 1981 bmw 320 in decent shape.
I used to build motorcycles so i traded this one for the car.

found the car at a local dealer and we traded straight across

ITs my first bmw and i have been driving it everyday since

[thebigkg]

no real updates on it for a while but fixed all the rust holes and rattle canned it red. still looking for wheels but here some pics of the progress. Ill put up the painted pics when its finished
