lowered expectation
its an 82 633 with 86k, also came with a 533 motor, trans and rear end and a crap load of lichen as part of the purchase, it has sat & seen lots of moisture over the last 10 years.

one would think so, the seller was an old timer with major health issues. This e24 and his e28 were all he talked about. he knew what he had, held onto it as long as he could.sansouci wrote:Must be a NY car.

so far i haven't made any attempt at starting it. i cranked it over with no fuel... it cranks!Shipper 01 wrote:Does it start yet? Hoe's the interior. And what does a shark that has sat moulding for 10 years actually cost?
The interiors a bit dry. Ive applied conditioner to the leather, that's about it.
cost wise, not sure. it was a gift and was paid for before pickup.

Re: my first low & slow build. previously know as "swamp thing"
parts are piling up thanks to the weather in ny.
decided to go with viair 444's and airlift struts / management
got a little mock antsy (the ash is real)
gotta rethink that relief valve
still waiting on a few deliveries.

Re: my first low & slow build. previously know as "swamp thing"
more parts came in today
coolant hoses, bands, fuel cap and gaskets & complete suspension overhaul kit.
(in certain suspension locations i specifically bought the cheaper uro brand, i want to get an idea on the most affected e24 bushings on air)
