What it looked like when it arrived (Sept 2007)

So, the seller and I settle on a price... keep in mind that it is not running and it has been sitting under a tree for about a year.... after I get it towed to the house and the neighborhood had a few hours to take a look at this masterpiece, I got some room in the garage cleared out. Why should they have the privilege of looking at a fine example of German workmanship all day and night?

Yep, no working e-break!
The sad part, this car was not vandalized. The previous owner liked to add a new paint color every once in a while.
You probably cant make out the front fender "Real Men Cant Read".... you tell me?
Equally perplexing is, I heart Robot, on the drivers door???

Take a little vacation in the sun with this palm tree. I like sunny days!
No doubt about it... this car is ugly and needs a bunch of work. No worries, I have time and patience (well, for somethings anyway!)
