1982 323i E21 Restoration. Christmas gift from grandfather

[zblex]

Hello everyone,

2/3 years ago, I purchased a 1982 323i. This car was to my grandfather, who kindly offered me for Christmas.

This car has stopped since 6 April 1991, she has served the last time for the marriage of my parents. It was stored at the back of the shed, in dry conditions under a tarpaulin mountain.

So, no rust, apart from the exhaust line, completely rusty.

It displays around 126 000km.

Recently, I work on it quietly, I made some pictures ..

Here it is, April 6, 1991 at the marriage of my parents:
