hi people,
This is my 1984 320i still all totally original and going to keep it that way....well as much as possible!. It's been in the garage since i bought it a few months ago doing a few mechanical bits to it. Still needs a more bits doing to it. eventually re-spray, wheels ect. The list can be endless!! just wicked to finally get it on the road and enjoy it!

looks like a nice car

Looks well clean mate, any interior pics?

sorry didn't get any interior pick which was a bit of a no brainer!! the interior is box standard. i bought the car off an 83 year old guy who had it from new! so inside there is not even a mark which is really nice.

Somewhere in the UK Andyboy just soiled himself and doesn't know why.

or go the next step up.... banded steelies

Looks Gorgeous that, liking the steelies!!!!!!

thanks for the comments guys really appreciate it, just out of interest what are banded steelies and what do they look like?

Banded steels involve separating the two halves of the wheel and inserting a band of steel in between to make a wider wheel. Pop along to the retrorides forum, they seem to know everything about them over there.

bandit steels are the wheels you have with a larger dish on them. Crap.

It's amazing what a bit of lowering does, and a chromie needs it! love it

What a lovely car. I'm to minds weather to get a nice pre-face lift or a touring.

The two threads on retro rides I was referring to are here and here

i've got one a bit like that, although i can see a frag grenade in the near future.
