Traded a set of spotties for the old girl 
picked up an '83 318i 5 speed a few days ago, seems like a cool little car, just need to sort out some issues
Cold start
Leaking fuel line (soft hose from hard line to banjo fitting on the engine)
Will do the distributor cap, rotor and plugs as there's some dead spots below 3000rpm
Fuel filter
Good clean up
And then;
Fit new handbrake cable
Figure out why the speedo works but not the odometer
New seats
New interior door handles
Rust in the bonnet, front windscreen surround and passenger door
Replace head lights
New bumper
New glovebox
Then get onto the fun stuff
New bushes
Swaybar upgrade
Struts
Suspension
As it is, it still drives well, some basic service bits and pieces and I'll veryyy slowly get her up and running to her true potential.

If I agreed with you, then we would both be wrong
