New Guy with Rusty Barn Find
 

I'm Mike from Geneva IL. I picked up a '64 BMW 1800Ti from a barn in Wisconsin a while back and I'm in the midst of repairing all the rust from years of sitting and a poorly executed battery relocation. I'm looking forward to diving in and learning all I can about metal work and the restoration process.

the way that fuel door fits in the side of that body just gives me goose bumps. Super nice project and welcome! any other pics of the car or the inside of that gas door?

Hi Mike and welcome!:D

Hello Mike,

Looks in pretty good condition really. It will be a nice car when done. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Mike,
Welcome to the forum! I'm a fellow aficionado of old bimmers.

Have you checked out the Neue Klasse section of the 2002FAQ?

Ian-- I'm also Mike_B on the 2002FAQ and post a lot in the NK forum.

I don't have any photos of that area. I will take a shot and post it up...

New guy with Rusty Barn Find
 

Hi Mike,
Welcome to the forum!
I too have a barn find, '80 320i.
Floors rusted out front and back, rockers both inner and outer rusted almost 100 %. Moved the battery to right rear of trunk to make way for a cold air
inlet behind left headlight. Both fuel line and brake lines, leaking and replaced.
You will have fun restoring yours, I hope.
