Hi Guys,

Picked this up yesterday after finding it rotting away in someones driveway!

It's going to need a lot of work, going to start by stripping it down, work out what's missing, and make a plan to address the most rotten bits, although to be honest other than the rear arches and a hole on the boot, doesn't look too bad.

I'll update as i go, hopefully nothing too terminal, think the interior and wiring will give me the biggest headache although looking forward to seeing if the beastie 2.5 fires up ok!

Anyway, obligatory photos:

That's what you call a China Crisis!

It just needs a t-cut

Bloody hell.. you're brave!

Haha, i was pulling apart last night wondering what i've let myself in for here!
Well i like to have a project to work on, i've certainly got that!

you cannot be serious!

Good luck mate

Hope you know how to weld or have a welding buddy nearby who likes drinks... alot of them!

Brave man !!

Wish you luck

Honestly, it's a project for sure.....but a huge amount of work ahead. Hats off to you if you see this through.

Has it got an interior?

Parts of... I have some old beaten up seats, carpet pieces, trim Etc... Not all there but I've got some!

Was this in Crawley by any chance?

it was indeed! Ifield to be precise

I thought it was, I walked past it a few times. Glad to see someone is rescuing it, good luck!

Yeh i've been driving past it quite a lot, thought i'd take a punt on it!
Just need to strip it down a bit more and see what needs doing, if nothing else it has a roof over it so can't be rained on any more!

Brave man, well done.

everyone deserves a second chance, even a car!
See if i'm still saying that in a month....!

Good on you, be methodical and take your time and you will be rewarded with a
Lovely car. far worse have been saved.

Good to see some more Crawley zoners!

Good luck with it and as said, brave man!

A facelift manual 325i cabrio helps makes it worth doing.

Well i'm actually Horsham, but i'll leave that rivalry well alone ;)

Thanks for all the comments so far guys, unfortunately as quick as I've got this, I might need to let her go already.... SWMBO isn't impressed with me getting yet another project, and with hindsight I don't know when I'm actually going to find any time to work on it. So on that note, it might well go up for sale or breaking very soon.... Guess I'll decide for sure this week what I want to do....

Oh, and i gave it a wash!

right decision. good luck with it.

Harrow !
