BMW 3.0CS

Nobody knows the children like the father.

Yeah, rust is such a problem with the CS, you have to be very careful. Sometimes it can be artfully hidden, too. A badly rusted car is practically worthless.

I bought a CS for $1000 in NJ in late 95.
Turned out to be horribly rusted. Bought
three more parts cars since to make one
car out of the four of them.

I have spent part of the past 3 years
scraping and saving to do the do the car
on "a budget", a word which the initiated
will know is absolutely ludicrous.

I'll be in the pot for about $13k
total (net), not to mention countless
hours.

Doing it slowly means that when the car
is finally done, it will just the
way you want it. Car is done "right"
and will have plenty of goodies.

I will have a bare metal restoration of
one of the most gorgeous cars of the
70's.

Would I do it all over again?

Never. Ever.
