my grandfather died a few weeks ago, we all got our share of what was in his will. however i got this. an old '82 3 series bmw. i retrieved it from a storage unit. the engine needs to be rebuilt. the trunk is also locked shut, any suggestions??
how many miles
there aren't many fans for the e21
Low miles and no rust? Unless it has some value to you i'd try to sell it on as it sits, i personally find the E21 quite ugly but i know there's people out there who'd pay good money for a clean one

Part it out, then abandon the unregistered body in front of a KFC.
i got it started, but its gonna have to go. i can't afford to keep on putting life into it.

Are you kidding? This is a classic. Upcycle the parts into fun hats and man-purses, sell them on Etsy, then set fire to the rest of it in the drive-thru of an Arbys.

What have you put in so far (parts and cost?) What else does it need?
>>16418774
there's plenty

before you keep running or driving it, do all the fluids, not that expensive
engine oil, trans & diff. oil, brake fluid, coolant, etc
I'd be a happy fuckin camper if I got one for free, they're crazy easy to work on and dead simple as well as reliable, and fun to drive even stock
If you have a place to keep it I'd definitely keep it, you might regret ditching it later on
You don't need to dump money in it, just do little things here and there and eventually you'll have a nice little car, having an easy project car is really rewarding
what kind of /o/tist's first thought is "I'm getting rid of it"

I will give you $500 for it right now
