Henna Red
1981
5 Speed Manual
It has been garaged for a good 10 years of its life and has only been put back on the road this year.
Apparently the garage that serviced it couldn't believe how good the condition mechanically and structurally the car is the owner told me.
The only advisory were the breaks which he had changed.
Theres a little bit of rot on the passenger sill, both the wings at the bottom have got a little bit of rot and lower valance has had a knock, apart from that the car is extremely good condition.
It has full BMW service history and most of the old MOT sheets.
I also have the original receipt of sale from when it was first purchased brand new, £5800, unbelievable.
The interior of the car is pretty much spotless with just a little bit of wear on the drivers seat.
It has all the original glass in the car from factory which I'm amazed at and it polished up a dream.
The paint was a little faded but I've already spent a good 6 hours giving a really good clean and buffing the paint and I'm very pleased with the result, could probably do with a few touch ups but i'm not expecting it to be spotless for the year of the car.
My plans for the car
- Get the rot sorted on the wings and passenger sill - SORTED
- Either get the lower valance repaired or source a better condition one - SORTED
- Get the bumpers re-chromed or spend a good few hours with the metal polish
- Get the car on air ride [any help with the set-up is welcome] - COILOVERS
- Maybe get a radio fitted as the car never had one from factory, or just find a decent bluetooth speaker. - SORTED
- Keep interior as standard as possible because I find it really comfy and think the cream really suits the car
I would appreciate any recommendations in the West Midlands area that specialise in these cars for servicing, bodywork etc as well because I want to maintain the car as well as it has been regardless of cost and give it the respect it deserves.
Thanks for reading, I will keep the photos and information as up to date as I can
