1974 3.0SI e3 introduction

[broccoli 0]

Hello all,

I am Dave and I am a new recruit into BMW ownership.

I purchased a 3.0SI e3 off Darryl/rxsumo online and after a bit of time and effort from myself and a bit of advice from Darryl I now have a legal classic BMW on the road and I couldn't be happier.

Here are a couple of pics that were taken over the weekend where me and a few friends journeyed up to the Palmerston North swap meet from wellington.

I will resize them and upload soon but ^they are linked due to MASSIVE size.

I plan to continue tidying things up and get towards a nice, reliable and good looking cruiser.

I managed to find a guy wrecking an 2800 e3 in the lower north island area so If anyone is after any parts then let me know. Watch this space....

wow, sweet classic. That's a pretty funky color!

Cheers mate, the colour looks really nice with a bit of sun on it!

It has had a respray at some point of its life and it isnt quite the factory colour but not too far off.

Awesome classic! Nice to see these things still running, as much of a rust bucket these things are!

Cheers guys!

In truth the photos make it look a bunch tidier than it is but apart from a few spots of rust that are relatively easy-ish to sort out it is a super solid base to then make it into a really nice car.

Wow I love those. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

This is how I picked it up, except the blue door looked like below

So after I fitted the new door, I threw a couple of parts at it to replace a few worn items and got it a wof.

Still unpainted on the drivers side but good things take time/money

Another shot of how it sits currently along side the e21 of sparkle.

Sorry for the linked images, I will have to re-upload them all in smaller res and I cbf hah.
