Yeah. I pulled the engine and gearbox a few days ago, and got a real good look at the state of the car.
I don't think I'll pull this one off. There's some rust in important places, notably the chassis beams at the front. It would need a new front, new floor panels, new rockers, new spare wheelwell and it's probably too far gone to restore. It can be done, but not with the time and money I have available..
I'm going to get what I need from it and then donate the shell to a fellow E21 enthusiast.. If any of them wants it  |

Tri....how bad can it possibly be?
Is any part of the Baur frame badly rotten? If not...it is worth saving.
Has the rust eaten through the front structural members? |
