Hi I'm new to the bmw scene always been into the vw but I upgraded lol

I recently found a 1981 320/6 auto in a barn I was working at 4 owners from new 100,000. Miles and in pretty good shape to say it had been stood since 2003 picked it up at a bargain price I think, got it running within 10 minutes and even drove it out and on to our recovery truck. Needs a wind repairable but rather not.
The rear valance has rotted but was given a brand new one with the car. I will try post some pictures if I can figure it out

After I got it home and cleaned up before work started

First of all: welcome here!

A textbook example of a barnfind I'd say! And after some initial TLC there's even paint on the car lol! Looks like this idiot didn't do such a bad deal after all!

Cheers
Yea that's what I was thinking as I drove it on the trailer it is solid underneath I only paid £300 which I think was a good deal really

Dead cheap I'd say!

Well hoping to get a few parts collections tomorrow and will be heading for full respray in next few weeks, it's just the chrome round the windows that let it down

And don't forget that timing belt and water pump are way past their due date!

Yea good call I need to go through the whole car, but any ideas on best to either replace the chrome or get re chromed some where as I see everyone else looks to have near perfect round the windows

Moving this thread to the 6 cylinder section

really nice barn find, BBS front / rear spoiler, original BBS Mahle wheels...sunroof.

I love barns, they have great stuff in them

Yea good thing is it's not missing any parts, with bbs spare aswel. Starting to repair rear valance now

Looks good. For that price it is a cheap car.
