Re: e30 325 touring advice welcome

Re: 325i touring what would you do

Its been outside but i parked it on a lorry tilt so the water wouldnt settle on the ground .
I havent had a good look underneath yet but too be honest the bit on rust on the car 6 years ago hasnt got any worse.
If i could get it mot'd and roadworthy for under £500 then it will be worth doing
