It should get here this weekend when im in new orleans.

So the plan is to be a safe distance away from your angry girlfriend when it shows up?

she's got a nice 90 325i auto. This is a weekend/bmw club type of deal. I may just sell it - i just couldnt pass it up bc the price.

Won't it cost you around $100 in gas if you do it yourself, not counting any other expenses? $200 sounds like a great deal.

Just my lazy-ass opinion...

Got it yesterday. REALLY rust free. The underside is as clean as a whistle. The nose damage looks worse than it is. Mostly just the grills. The interior from my rwecked 76 will be swapped in and I will do some paint work on it - maybe a full respray. The battery is charging today and I will start her tomorrow.

Patrick eventually sold this car to me. I doubt his girlfriend ended up too pissed at him. It was listed on ebay as a parts car, which is the last thing I'd call it -- it has very little rust, runs, and drives straight, and it doesn't have much in the way of parts that anybody would want. (Rob, if you really want the steering wheel, let me know -- but you probably don't.)

I actually drove it from Houston to Austin, which seems ridiculous in hindsight. Luckily the officer that pulled me over was very friendly and only gave me a warning. The car needs a new clutch (which Patrick made clear) and a lot of wiring, but othewise made the trip without any problems.

I'm going to take some pictures and start a new thread for it.
