    Project Car Rebuild

    Hi guys,
    I know this has been asked before probably. But I'm asking anyways due to a slightly different question than the rest. So I want to rebuild an old BMW. I have narrowed my search to an e21 which would be the 320i sport, an e24 probably 635csi, an e30 either the 318i or the 325i and also including a 2002. I would appricate any advice to which you think would make the coolest project car or what year you think would be best for that model. And yes, I am aware of any costs a BMW might occur, and I have experience with cars as I own a 2000 540i.

    Thanks

    This all over, also you may want to look into the aftermarket following for each one depending on what kind of modifications you want to make.

    I have carburetors, and I'm not afraid to use them!
    There are always other fish (engines) in the sea (Craigslist)
    Life is about enjoying the engine you are sitting behind.

    Yeah I would just look on craigslist and see what you find. Put in a price limit you want, and just search BMW. I've found some pretty cool cars that way, cars I never would have thought to otherwise buy or look for.

    Cool, how? How it looks when it's done, performance on a track, challenge as a project or something else?
    Not so much a signature as a cry for help.

    Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

    I think I am think of cool as in how it looks when it's done. Like having a very aggressive stance.
