  1. Cheapest I have found to fix minor curbing was 35 per wheel. 

    Stripping can be a prick. And as your budget is low I recommend just prep the finish that is already on the wheel. Most newer wheel finishes are super tough and require acid dipping to strip them and be cost effective. 

    I can blast newer wheels and key the painted surface ready for re paint for about $80-$100 but a full strip can take several hours. At $80 an hour it quickly adds up. 

     


  2. have seen many of these on different forums. 

    To make this more inclusive it would have been better to of simply said "Your BMW out side a museum"

    then every one can play the game.  

    historic photos are also cheating.

  3. as has already been said they are few and far between. There are still a few good ones around. but most will need work.  

    I would be wanting to see the carpets removed and the floors exposed, look under the car at the jack points and the back seat removed to look at the inner wheel wells. 

    Also looking as close as can under the rear side windows and boot lip.

    If it has been looked after for 25 years and used as described it could be a survivor.  

    but yes doors replaced. 

    The mechanical fuel injection when running is great. when its not it is a absloute dog to sort out. its often quicker easyer and cheaper in the long run to convert to EFI. 

    If you are after a clean rust free body and this proves to be that its worth 5k+
