Trailer Park E34 Cleaned Up... and sold!

The 525 was sold to a happy new owner...

The 1994 BMW 525i that was sitting in a trailer park with a flat tire, no gas and a dead battery has cleaned up nicely. We ditched the purple cold air intake for a factory airbox, tightened the loose spark plugs (which were causing a strange noise from the engine) and replaced the valve cover gasket. While it needs paint, the car benefited greatly from a good scrubbing and an uncracked rear bumper. The 17-inch AC Schnitzer wheels were bent and causing a bad vibration, so these were swapped for a set of 16x8.5-inch Mille Miglia 1000 wheels. A handful of interior and exterior parts were also installed to bring the BMW back to life.

TR4 is home

The '67 TR4 is in our hands. We haven't done much. We did manage to start the engine by pouring fuel down the fuel line into the carbs. It started instantly after sitting for who knows how many years and even settled down to a rough idle. Next up on the list is removing, flushing and restoring the tank, installing new fuel lines and maybe a new pump. After that, we have to source a rear differential to drive the car.

1995 525i E34

This E34 was found online and then saved from an unknown fate in a mobile home park. Interesting upgrades include AC Schnitzer wheels and body kit, or at least parts of it. Nice black interior too.

Recent Additions to the Restomod garage

A couple of recent additions to the permanent collection. These two are keepers. One is a 1995 Porsche 968 coupe, black on black with a 6-speed manual and about 200,000 miles. Here it is hanging out with the '69 911T.

The other is a Euro-spec 1985 BMW 635Csi in Delphin Gray. The auto in the BMW will get a 5-speed conversion soon. Both of these are terrific cars that will be driven... a lot.
