Submitted for your consideration are my 320i project cars.The first one was purchased for $202 for use in the
BABE rally while the second one was found in a barn.The body from #2 will be painted and swapped with #1 in time for the
GRM$2007 Challenge this fall-I hope
These are my first bimmers and share the garage with my Miatas and Land Rover parts.The barn car is the one on the right

More pics
HERE,including the ones that make it obvious why the first one was so cheep.The barn car is in its own albumn on page 2.I'll take some more/better ones today after I'm done fitting the rear sway and new tie-rods to #1.I find its easier to keep track of my cars with numbers-I'm currently on Miata #6

The car looks great!
If your radiator and hoses are in good shape and your fuel pump operating you should make it to ole N'Awlins just fine.
Would be great to receive updates while on the road.
Have never heard of the BABE, but it must be a blast. You think there are enough Hurricanes on Bourbon St. to cool everyone down after the Ft. Payne to N. O. run? HOT HOT HOT
Good Luck, Mike

Go 320! You must have done a good job putting the car together. Let's hope this is a sign of things to come.
For a 70s design and a strangled small displacement engine, the 320i does just fine. Compared to a new car, that is half plastic they can take a lot of abuse and keep going, too.
Best, Mike

Sold locally.Thanks to all for the help and great info. on here.I'll have another one day but with a big move coming up I couldn't justify keeping 2 cars and a butt-load of parts and paying to move them across the country....on the other hand I'm now down to TWO vehicles,and that just feels wrong
Props:
