I am so happy to have found this sub!
I have just taken possession of my father's 1974 3.0 CSi which he brought to the states in the early 80's after being stationed in Germany. He had been driving this car throughout Kansas up until about 5 years ago when it was parked due to some fuel system challenges. There was some body work done in the 80s to address some rust, and at that time it was repainted (not original color). I am working to get specs, but the original color was a brown of some sort. I am completely lost when it comes to BMWs as my previous restoration was on a 1967 Camaro. I am excited to dig into this iconic car and bringing it back to a driver first and in the future, a full resto.
I am in the Austin TX area and would appreciate any insight to a quality mechanic and body shop. All my current contacts are for American Muscle.
I am including a couple pics from picking the car up, and my first search for help.
The buttons under the dash are still trying to be sorted out, my father doesn't specifically remember what they were all for any help would be appreciated.
