Don't ask me how I found this! I don't know how I found it! I was stumbling around in old Baur threads, and BOOM! This pops up! I am a firm believer in the old aphorism that says: the harder you work the luckier you get! Well, I got lucky tonight. :)
OK, these pics are from BillinMN, a Baur owner and friend in MN. I have corresponded with Bill on a couple of occasions, but I had no idea this pictorial was out there, waiting to be found! Up until now, the full extent of my knowledge of Bill's Baur was this pic, which I have had on file for years. It is his signature pic in bimmerforums, if I am not mistaken.
I offer this pictorial as an inspiration:
1) to folks embarking on a restoration, so they get an idea of what they are getting themselves in to;
2) to folks struggling with a project so that they can see what their hard work can become!
Thank you, Bill for sharing this project with us!
Here is Bill's post in that long forgotten thread (June 2007), with the link to these pics:http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-37043.html
It is a beauty, isn't it? :) Well, surprisingly enough, it didn't always look this way! :)
And here we are back where we began. Kudos to BillinMN!

Hey Guys. I'm new here but do recognize a few names from other venues.
I've an '81 323 Baur almost done with a frame up. While not done yet, here's a glimpse of what an e21 Baur looks like.
