1974 BMW CS 5-spd w/ Injection on BaT through Gas Monkey Garage

Let's say it is possibly the cheapest way to enter e9 owner ship?
At first glance I do not see tell tales of serious body rot, but no pics from up&behind fuse box & glovebox. Front strut tower looks to be ok, but surface rust seems present under the tar covering on the left tower. Before buying, that would be my inspection point; just surface rust is 10K to 20K cheaper then a full rust-through hole there.
It does have some underside and sill/rocker pics that look ok, but hard to tell because of the thick very black (thus fresh & worrysome? ) undercoating.

But is does have soo many little things that shout "cutting corners" that it can't fetch anything close to serious money in my view....

crappy paint job (not cured before putting trim on):

But you can still drive it i guess. And it'll make you smile. And at least you have something to do for the next 10 winters....
