Donfrondo's 1978 323i.. rapid resto

Post by donfrondo »

Hi, Im new.. and this is my first e21..

Its in fairly good condition I'd say. It was restored a year or so ago, but clearly the re-spray job was pants, as thers bubbling and flaking happening all over the place. So thers a few bits of surface rust to contend with, but apart from that its solid.

First priority is to assess all the problem areas, fix what I can and make lists of what needs to be done at a later date.

Oh.. and fix the warm start issue.. its really annoying.

I got loads of questions building up for you guys.. im gonna unleash them all together when i've finished examining the car before the week end. Soz, your going to have to excuse my lack of knowledge till I get to grips with this.

Dan
