BMW e23 from France

[1932fred]

It's the first real car I baught, so yes i will keep it forever.

I spent a lot of time hanging out with my buddies in this car when I was younger. So I have a lot of memories when I drive it.

little update:

my distributor cap and wiring were totally destroyed:



so I puchased new ones, and in the same time new hood pad:





I also spend time to put bright color on the distributor:

Around 15 years ago, my camshaft was modified, the engine worked better, but I didn't have any ideas of the opening time, so today I check it:





And the result is quite good, I found 145° at the camshaft, that means 290° at the crankshaft. If I compare to a Cat Cams street camshaft, it have 294° of opening time. So I'm not so fare with my old reworked came shaft.
