It was a friend of a guy on here. the guy on here owns one and he and his friend worked on it together. his friend is local and we met and discussed and settled on an offer of which he paid up front. he took delivery of the parts and next week he'll arrange to get the car. It's still a huge loss...
The car is sold. Thank you to everyone for your support and advice I really appreciate it. That's it for me. Maybe one day I will buy a restored ready to go CS but for now I just have to be satisfied with with my E39 V8 daily driver.
@bluecoupe30! Thanks for the advice. I think it would make sense to strive to keep the car if I were going to do the work on it myself at some point. Except the paint job. It stops making sense for me if I need to rely on someone else to do the body work. I can't say I would ever be in a...
The Petri is in good condition - no nicks, cuts or cracks. no major wear or discolouration. Here is a close up. The red is just paint dust which wipes off easily. I was rushing to take these pictures because the snow was getting worse so I didn't have time to wipe everything down.
Hey guys. I have a buyer for $5000US... should I take the offer? Of course I am the final arbiter of my own decisions, but I am just looking for input. I don't want to be greedy, I want the car to go a someone who will restore it because I feel it deserves that. This buyer qualifies in that...
No asking price. Taking offers. Everyone is going to have a different sense of what this is worth to them.
That really sucks about furnature deal. Either way, we are screwed. In my case, the guy knew what he was doing and what he was getting into. I just hope the cops don't drop the theft...
THIS CAR HAS BEEN SOLD!
Long story with this car. If you want to know the history of the car its documented at www.oldbmw.com.
Long story short: I gave the car to a shop to do restoration work: strip, repair, paint. The shop owner went AWOL with the car. I could get him on text but he would...
I went to see the car. It's not as bad as I thought. it really is just surface rust where the bare metal is. the car has been stripped but all the parts are there. the interior looks the same as it did when i gave it to him. that was good too. my dad and I put everything out so I could take...
One I put it up for sale I will ask for "best offers" because it's going to be worth different amounts to different people.
There is a body shop guy at the shop its partked at and I will ask him for an assessment but frankly, I am more inclined to be done with this. I don't want to take the...
The car has been secured but I have not seen the car yet. Likely this week, I am hoping, I can go down and see it. I will take a lot of pictures and then prep the car to sit until I can sell it. The guy has been charged with theft. At this point I don't feel I want to carry on with the car so...
He had his new assistant mask those but then he decided they should be removed. When I was taking these shots he showed me how he'd have to remove interio and panels to get at the clips and that was ultimately his intention. So that red flag was addressed at the time. alas.
Hey. So the cops found the car. The guy had it all this time at a new shop. But, to recap, he did move it without my knowledge to a place he wouldn't tell me where it was nor let me see it. Hence the police involvement. They have charged him with theft and it will proceed to court. What an...
Thanks all for your feedback, support and stories. Gary that is really sad to hear and parallels my story. This guy I gave the job to was at the time looking legit - with a real shop, real tools and had a number of cars there he was working on. the workmanship looked good, which I saw with my...
