As the car went down, my dick went up. Then it aired out and I came. Lol

Good work man! It looks nice aired up but it's even nicer with the rear tucking.

a lil too much

Started this weekend and finished Monday

Nice. The Bav ate a wheel bearing the other day, but she was stretching her legs a little before that.

Two of the best looking BMWs in my opinion.

Love the Bavarias...

Question for TheNeek, Was the car purchased in WA? If so, how bad is the rust?

What's the deal with the USDM bumpers on the 1974 Bavaria??? ..... are the 1972 Bavarias much different from the 1974???

....... or are those just euro-spec bumpers/grills???

No euro spec on the 72 or 73. In 74 they just started using the diving boards. Thats how they came on the 72s.

You can thank the US Department of Transportation for that. 5mph crash requirements. 2002s are the same way.

P.S. car was from Ohio. Rust is unknown at this point. It's iffy in places.

I'm curious if anyone can help me out with the specs of the gotti's! That fitment is beautiful

There is a considerable amount of spacer in the back, and I subsequently had to trim them down on the lathe when we put the car on air. The fronts need spacers currently. If I told you the specs on the wheels it wouldn't help, better to just measure you own car.

I love that I get to use this car as a reference for this up coming project... glad you chose to move to the PNW Nic... sorry the air bug bit so hard, but glad to have you on board.
