Story:
– car was originally delivered to its first owner in Cologne, Germany where it stayed until the 90s. Then a man from a town nearby drove it and treated it not the best way.

– It was left then until a few years ago, when a buddy and his dad bought it and brought it back to life with great attention to bodywork and detail. They did a really good job in fully restoring it and making it better than new.

In the restoration process they’ve added an m10b18 Engine out of an e30 anlongside a matching 5 speed gearbox.
– they enjoyed it for quite some time and then sold it for because of new projects.
– then I Bought the car in 2020.

Since then I am continuously driving and maintaining the car to my sense of perfection. I use the car as a daily driver in summer and it runs perfect. Pure pleasure to drive.
I’m also optimising some parts to make the car look like I’ve dreamt of it.
