Hi everyone,
What a great resource this is! I've been reading and searching for the past couple of weeks and have found a lot of helpful information.
I just bought my first Bavaria and it's not the nicest. It's funny, I've been looking off and on for the past 4-5 years and I can't believe the deals I've passed up. This one's a '73 with A/C (not working), 4 speed, and Webers. It's had at least two repaints from the original Turkis.
The good:
Runs and drives (technically)
New tires
New seat covers
The bad:
Rust/corrosion
Missing trunk/hood torsion spring assemblies (probably never reinstalled from last paint)
Non functioning brake booster
Everything needs attention.
It's a non-CA car and is not registered. Furthermore, the Federal compliance stickers have been mostly scratched off.
What's the general consensus? Part out? I'm not equipped to do metalwork so that's out of the question.
If it was rust free I would've gone ahead refurbishing it but I'm sort of in over my head at this point.
It's currently on C/L in the parts section but I won't attach a link as I don't think this is the right forum for that.
