Another unexpected purchase & some updates (Patreon)
Content
Yup, I did it again. Last week a very cheap E32 750iL popped for sale in Logroño, Spain. Complete, non-runner, parked since 2016 but the owner had it running recently with starter fluid as fuel pumps are dead. Being a Spanish car, it's rust-free and with a price tag of 900€, I pulled the trigger. I bought it mainly cause I'll need a lot of parts for project Karlsruhe and having a cheap parts car just makes sense. Also, all the good parts from the rusty E32 Highline can be transferred into this one as it should be rust-free if I decide to go down that route.
That being said, the car has papers and if the foundation is good for restoration, I'll just get it running and sell it to someone as a running & driving project for restoration. I won't have time for another restoration and I don't want to kill a classic BMW if it has good bones and it's saveable. It'll arrive in the 2nd half of May so we'll decide then!
Project Castellón has left Spain and should arrive in Frankfurt in the next few days. I'm so excited to see it!
In other news, there is some progress in the new workshop search. My landlords told me on Friday that I'll get more space in the complex where I am currently, but today they are singing a different song. I also have another alternative at the old Opel factory in Rüsselsheim. I'll share more details once I know everything 100%!
