may be looking to shift this motor had it for a year but havnt really done anything tbh, im young with literally no time, may store it away though in a lock up dependant on how much you guys reckon?

one pic below, its in alpine white in terms of rust bodywork is pretty good, underside is good, sills are good, rear arches and front wings are good, sunroof holes look okay but havnt fully investigated, bodywork is prety good, front and rear, no dents or scratches, the scuttle on the hood are rusted, but ive sourced a replacement bonnet, with no rust and the soundproofing in perfect cond, the boot lip was rotten but ive made a start in repairing and the tyre well a small hole, and the right side of the boot is quite rusty but sanded down and treated with fertan, thats as far as i got!

the engine is absolutely sweet as a nut, it also has the dogleg box so i assume thats about £500 minimum..

ive put in a new rad around £150, sourced a second hand clutch master and new slave,

the braking mech was seized but ive sourced a replacement,

the wheels are mint, also have another full set with trx tyres,

sourced a retro sony stereo and changer, new bonnet struts,

i also bought the soundproofing foam new from bmw and the boot seal for around £180,

a uncracked dash is also sourced, seats are immaculate,

97k miles with psh and mots to confirm mileage, all consumables and service items bought,

what ya reckon?

other option is to restore it a few hours a week at a time and spend money on a lock up,

It will be worth more with as MOT, maybe just do the work required to get it roadworthy and MOT'd and then move it on and leave the cosmetics and other stuff for the new owner...

If you do go down this route, putting it in for a MOT as it is would be a good idea to assertain the minumum work required to get it roadworthy... See the list of fails as a to do list, go through it slowly and bobs your uncle...
