i got it for $1000 and about 20 hours behind wheel to get it and bring it back.
and yes, i am leaving it Alpine white.
i will try to aim for something like this:


i am debating with myself, should i just do headgasket and clean up engine bay little bit.... or just try to find some tools to pull whole engine out and freaking make that thing spotless
also it has some significant rust problem which i didnt know about since i didnt see it in person untill i bought it... so i migh fix it up, sell for some nice profit and get something like that BUT with no rust
and parents said i can only keep 1 car, aka i gotta sell either BMW or VW
