I'm bad at introducing myself... Anyways, is someone reading this?
Yeah, I live in Puerto Rico. I'm 21. I've been a car guy all my life. Started out with Honda's and shit.
Had a Gsr and blew it.
Picked this Civic up and modified it until I got bored with it.

After that I had a Ke70 that I crashed, a EG9 sedan which I parted out, a POS Sentra that I sold like two days after buying it, bought a TSX (my daily which I still own)...

Anyways, this thread is about BMW's. It all started when my mom got married and decided to move to another town. That place sucked (it still does). We moved there and blah, blah. Up to this point I didn't knew jack s**t about european cars, as all my family is into rotaries and old school Toyota's and Datsun's. Little did I know, that my E21 was three blocks away from me. I was like 15 at the time.
One day, while coming back from school, I noticed this white BMW sitting outside this old guy's driveway, with a 'For Sale' sign. I wasn't old enough for having a drivers license, neither had the money to buy the car, but I insisted on stopping anyways. Talked to the owner, who bought it new in 1981 and used it as his daily driver for 20 years. I fell in love with the car and swore to myself that someday I was going to buy that car. And yes, 5 years later I bought it.
Which brings us to 2015. After selling the Civic, I needed something to tinker with. The TSX wasn't going to cut it so I gave my mom a call and asked her if her neighbor still had the BMW. She said yes, so I went and bought it.

Looks good, right? Well, this $#^&@*$#& car was rusted from the inside out. I bought the car without knowing that the floor pans, trunk area and the lower doors were 'repaired' with bondo and aluminium. That explains why no one bought this car.
To be continued on next post.
