Oops I Did it Again!

[Wes]

Got a tip at work of a car in a shed. 1977 528i. Vin is in first 90 units ever built. Only 105,000 original KM on it. Interior is black, not bad condition. Paint is all original, has its share of nicks, tiny dings etc, tiny bit of rust in doors and C-Pillars
By the papers looks like a 3 owner car. Think the plan is to re-commission as a driver with a couple of tweaks. @sfdon @tferrer @Markos Not quite the same league as the MLE but couldn't leave it there

It's phoenix.

So what are the plans to raise this phoenix up from the ashes?

I think Phoenix is faded Inka.

I have some original Alpina wheels from an e12 B7. That, thorough mechanical overhaul, polish, spoilers. Lola & I will then drive it like we stole it.
*we kind of did steal it..

If you "stole" it then you have a license to drive it like you did.

More photos when you have time.

PDR some paint touch ups and run it as is only original once
