Before & after Pics

E34 from the black lagoon.
Why was this poor car abandoned to the elements for so long?

They were face with getting this in better shape or buy a new car. Dealer told them it would cost $4000 to repair. Of course they did, they'd rather sell them a new car. They drove it home and parked it in fear that it was not roadworthy. All brakes are practically new, pads and rotors are thick. Hoses look recently replaced as do the wires. Car was always dealer serviced and I'm geussing the PO was just scared of by them. There is no rust on this car anywhere. A few paint chips and sctraches but does not seem to ever been hit. Undercarriage is not rusty at all. The only rusty part I saw last night was the rear calipers, but they are not leaking and are functioning. Wait until I post the interior pics.

What was supposedly wrong with it back then?

I'm waiting for that sheet from the PO but at a hundred something an hour and the prices of parts, things add up quickly. Plus of course they would pad the bill if they would prefer to have them buy a new one.

The beemer from the black lagoon! That's a funny one. I think I found a new name for it.
