Hey Guys,
I had the pleasure or meeting a few of the forum members last week at Cars and Coffee Irvine. My name is Drew Cuddy and I'm a 25 year old Canadian transplant living between Orange County and Santa Barbara.
As of November 5 I became the proud (2nd) owner of an Atlantik Blue '72 Bavaria. The car is pretty interesting as it is entirely stock, has all of the original papers, and even the original shipping tags from port in Germany. The interior is in near-perfect shape and the engine is running great at 108,000 miles. It's a Milwaukee driven car but has avoided most of the rusting you'd see in most cars from the northern midwest. The seller was a widow and the car had been her late husband's baby for all of the 30+ years he owned it.
I've got a few projects coming up for the car including an exhaust overhaul, new BMW FPS 14x6 wheel install, carburetor tuning, body repair (rust and paint), trunk lock replacement, etc. I'm always looking for suggestions and help so feel free to chime in on me. I'd really love to fully restore her to her original glory!
Here are some pictures of the car:
