Hi all,
as you can read in the subject line, I'm new to this forum and looking forward to learning from you guys.
I'm a 21 year old student from Germany, living 30 miles south of Munich!
As my Dad is an auto mechanic with his own shop, I'm experienced in repairing cars and getting my hands dirty...
Our first project is a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible, which my Dad brought to Germany in 1989 and which was registered for the first time in October of last year, so even though it is not completely finished, I'm already planning the new project! (pic of the Olds attached as well)
Now it comes to the interesting part of my story for you 2002 guys
The project is a 1971 2000 touring my Dad bought as his first car in 1980 he's had about 35 other BMW's ever since, lots of 2002s, E3s, E12s (528i), but he only kept one E3 and the touring, which he gave to me as a present for my 18th birthday!
I'll try and attach a picture of how it looks right now, the engine is dismantled, and the whole front clip had to be cut out due to bad rust issues...good thing is, I do already have all the new parts.
I want to use it as a semi-daily driver for nice das when it's finished, so I'm going to put a M42 engine in it, together with a 5-speed.
I'm still searching for a donor 318is E30, they are getting harder and harder to find here and if I find one it's way out of my budget and almost too good to part out.
Well, that's about it, I'll try to keep this thread updated, whenever time allows it.
Sorry for the long reading and thanks for your interest, I hope my English isn't too bad
Please feel free to post whatever you think about the project...
Thanks, Dan
