Hey Guys,
At the dutch group the car is spoken of already but with the rest it still is unknown.
A month ago i bought this E21 from a BMW-garage in the Netherlands. It is originaly an Italien 320/6 and it drove around on the island of Sicily. The car has had only 18000 km on it and it came with the next options:
*Ascotgrau.
*Pop-out windows.
*Sunroof original.
*Airco (aftermarket but specialy for this car).
*All the books.
The plan is to get this car at the next "Sharknosemeeting 2011" but there are some things todo.
Because of the low milage i need to check and maybe replace:
* all the brakeparts and clutchcylinders.
* Timingbelt with spanner.
* Coolingstuf complete.
* Exhaust complete.
* New tyres.
* Some seals.
The car has no rust so i must keep her that way. Some pictures of the car will make this story complete:
The car:
With no licenseplate because it is still an Italien car:
Even the bottom is still in the original colour:
the milage:

Thanks guys
It took me some time to find here but i had only one goal and that was to find a M20 engine and no rust. If it was a 323i i had to pay much more i think.
Today i started to give her some TLC but she can use a lot.
The biggest problem of a low milage car is the low milage. Every brake and clutch cylinder is old and has a big chance of leaking. Brakepads and tyres are old. brakehoses are old. Suspensionrubbers are old etc etc.
I started with the timing belt and already came to the conclusion she needs a coolantflush.

If you need a clutch sylinder. I have one Its the same that I orderd in Gemany, and was sent to Austria, Italy and home to Norway. So I can send it to Netherland also.

@Lars, Thanks for your offer but i ordered al the parts already and most of them have arrived.
All the brakeparts, clutchparts, exhaust, coolingissues etc etc will become new and original offcourse.
