What you started with and what it looks like now

I know how much I enjoy seeing pictures of projects so I searched for a “before and after” thread. I couldn’t find anything. So I’m going to start this, what I’m looking for are pictures of any project as it started and as it is right now. We all know the term “after” or “finished” never really happen. So I’m starting with some pic’s I scanned from 1995. Stock drive train 239ci three speed. Those three boys are my sons now 23,21 and 19.

Looks can be deceiving My 53 doesn't look a whole lot different than when I bought it in '03, but all of the mechanical stuff has been done and I've been driving it for almost 4 years

Doesn't look like I've done all that much. But lots of little things accomplished that aren't visible from the outside.

The day I got it in July, 2011
