okay today is September 7th
0:04
2020. I received the car about two weeks
0:08
ago
0:10
um two weeks ago in a day
0:12
and this is going to be kind of a walk
0:14
around a document the way the car is as
0:16
I received it
0:18
um looking at what needs to be done
0:19
hopefully you can see all right starting
0:22
out you can see there's quite a few
0:23
Stone chips on the hood kidney grills
0:27
are missing but I have those
0:30
um the paint overall
0:33
does look really good you can tell
0:35
there's great potential there
0:38
it does shine even though it's been
0:41
sitting for years there are quite a few
0:44
dings and some pretty big chips
0:47
both of which I think can be addressed
0:50
there are the pods as they sit right now
0:56
see the two sixes up on the dash with
0:58
the tweeters Nautilus 800 series NATO
1:01
ones
1:04
side
1:06
once again much like the rest of the car
1:09
kind of rough shape right now but can be
1:12
saved
1:13
no rips in the leather
1:17
um the pieces that are missing from the
1:19
car I do have
1:21
door cards need to be re-secured
1:24
here's the 15s in the floor
1:27
let me remove that one Grille
1:30
you can see that
1:33
put a bit of bottom end there although
1:36
the stereo is not working currently I'm
1:38
not sure if I'm going to get it going or
1:39
not
1:41
looking in the back seat area
1:45
quite a bit undone here
1:48
um
1:49
need to clean up some of the wiring and
1:51
let it essentially rip out the entire
1:53
carefully remove the entire interior
1:56
get everything 110 percent
1:59
put the second battery in do some
2:02
reupholstery the rear deck area
2:06
and c-pillars need to be redone
2:10
as well as the headliner
2:16
and you can see the Sony display for the
2:18
XCS there as well
2:23
some of the Interior again
2:26
delaminated just over time
2:29
the Chrome at the top of the doors will
2:32
have to be I'll have those regromed
2:37
looking in the trunk
2:39
um still quite amazing after
2:42
over 20 years the carpet that Earl had
2:45
put on is a rear
2:48
and the rear trunk area has held up
2:52
incredibly well I'll replace this gasket
2:54
I'm not sure I don't like the look of
2:56
that I don't like the color of it or the
2:59
way that it fits
3:01
uh these side panels still molded and
3:05
holding incredibly well
3:11
and here you can see the two zapco
3:14
z600 amps for the subs and of course the
3:18
two Milbert bams gold plated those are
3:20
going to need to be
3:21
polished up cleaned up Mill Road
3:24
amplifiers just did go through and
3:26
re-tube the amplifiers give them a full
3:29
check to make sure they're 100 percent
3:32
and then we have the Sony XCS Z50 which
3:35
will be removed and replaced with a
3:37
different processor
3:39
to be determined but again look at the
3:42
look at the attention to detail and
3:44
probably 25 years ago this was done
3:48
and it is held up incredibly well this
3:51
carpet
3:53
great job to whoever did that work
3:58
ing in the driver's side
4:00
again you can see the
4:03
the door card needs some work but all in
4:05
all not bad
4:07
um completely restorable nothing is
4:08
ripped torn
4:10
this bolstery will have to be replaced
4:12
that's easy enough draw a receipt again
4:16
kind of rough but I can completely
4:18
Salvage that and make it look exactly
4:20
like it was when new
4:23
15 to get in the driver's floor
4:29
and
4:30
see if we get an angle from sitting at
4:32
the driver's seat
4:37
you can see the pods up on dash
4:41
and the Sony display
4:48
looking under the hood good old BMW M60
4:52
V8
4:53
was replaced through the nicoso recall I
4:58
think in about 98 or 99 although the
5:02
dealership who did the work closed and
5:05
BMW USA does not have records for when
5:09
the motor was replaced but
5:11
um according to what I've seen and
5:13
talking to Earl should be about 15
5:17
000 miles on the motor and transmission
5:18
so once again it's dusty it's dirty but
5:23
like I need wiper blades
5:26
um but this will be able to be
5:28
completely salvaged cleaned restored
5:32
to pristine new condition as he had it
5:36
in terms of the car mechanically as it
5:39
sits today
5:40
um I would consider it rough but once
5:42
again salvageable
5:45
um it drives like a 26 year old BMW that
5:48
needs a lot of work it's a very very
5:50
floaty
5:52
um has pretty substantial lack of power
5:55
and
5:58
you can hear the exhaust leak
6:01
uh it also has a pretty rough idle
6:03
we've got an SRS light on on the dash
6:07
uh I attribute that to what's going on
6:09
underneath the back seat that control
6:10
module looks like some of the wiring
6:12
needs to work maybe even a whole new
6:15
harness for that
6:17
check control I'm not exactly sure I've
6:20
got to go through forget what that is
6:22
uh but as you can see only 80 000
6:25
original miles on the car itself so
6:27
thank you very much for watching can't
6:29
wait to see what this thing turns into
