Re: Newbie purchase questions (archive)

tough question, sounds like it's almost worth it's weight in parts, but it's going to require cash to get it moving right and make it last.
How's the rest of the car, ie motor, electrical, suspension, miles, rust...
I'd definitely make sure to have a spare old faithful 2nd or 3rd car around prior to purchasing any attention starved 633.
A 633 in very good condition is a great driving car, especially if you increase it's horsepower by some means...install 3.5motor, or other creativity.

Have a possible deal in the works for an '82 U.S. spec
633 with 5spd. Body is straight, interior is fine, no
exxon Valdeze style leaks, no missing trim, bad paint.

Here is the kicker; dead clutch.
Pedle doesn't "stick", no metallic grind noise, just doesn't engage.
Between that and what appears to be a dead switch panel for the main windows, is it worth "risking" for $1000?

This will be my first non-2002 BMW, so I don't know what to look for...
