WOO HOO!! Free (almost) Bimmer for ME!!!

You should lower it on some 14'' BBS with some low profile tires. Any plans for a radio? It is strange how the car could go 25 years without getting one installed.

driving it is all the entertainment you need!!

[quaddawg]

Yeah, what Jim said... I don't need no stinking radio... lol..

It is a LIGHT car... no need to make it heavier... the thing barely weighs 2200 pounds... not quite as trim as a Festy, but not too far off!!!

[FB71]

not as trim, but with more power!!!

Aww its to bad I didn't catch this post, I would have met up with you today for lunch or some thing. I'm sure you would like to see my 951

Drop me a PM next time you come down to Columbus.

[quaddawg]

Yeah, that would have been fun. The guy at the tow lot kept me yakking for close to two hours... lol..

Very nice, 2 suggestions for you. One, join the bmwcca, parts advice etc and the car is a Bimmer
the bike is a beemer.
This is from someone who ran a 73 2002tii for 16 years and love them but eventually it will eat
a hole in your pocket but they're awesome machines.

[quaddawg]

AHHHH... Bimmer for car, Beemer for bike... thanks, didn't know that.

I got it running today... with 3 year old gas... runs GREAT, handles better!! I love it!!

Here is an interior shot.

I take it that the rear marker lights have been added to comply with US standards?

They wern't a standard fitting on Euro spec vehicless.

[quaddawg]

That is possible, as I know they weren't on the Euro models... That was a long time ago.. they look bad... but hey... they are already there. If I restore it, I will remove them and weld the holes..

very awesome car, I love it!

Maybe its just me but I saw alot of convertable parts to make a nice Custom Festiva

??? not sure I follow???

Round head Lights
Mirrors?
Shifter
seats possibly
does it have power windows?
if your ambitious enough you could make a neat grill out of that center chrome benzel
Perhaps a few other conversions

Gonna autocross it, Quaddawg?

I "might" it would be H Stock, and that is a pretty cool class, actually, it would be the same class as a stock Festy!!

It handles very well, but isn't very fast... I don't know... I think I will at least run it through the cones once or twice, just to see how it does.

Right now, I am having fun working on it. I now have a grand total of $285 in it... although the parts are not all installed yet... I have an ignition switch coming, as well as a new center grille..

Plus it needs some attention to wiring and lighting... fun stuff..

It's definitely getting better!!

Here is the rear after some bodywork and paint today, the before is in another thread under off topic
