Stu's '$350 special' - 1986 740GL
Picked her up the other night for an awesome $350. Current plans for it is to clean it up a little and use it as a daily driver.
B230F with 289,000kms with a 4 speed auto behind it(unsure of type yet) it even has cold a/c! All electric windows work, mirrors, central locking etc. It came with 2 alloys on the back and 2 stockies on the front, however he did throw in both sets.
So here's why it was $350, trans wont shift up or down gears until she warms up(about 5 minutes idling) then shifts up and down fine. Ive checked trans fluid and it doesnt smell funky and isnt burnt. Also the torque converter is making a squealing sound like its blocked up or something. Not sure whether to change the filter in the trans or just get another box and torque converter.
Anyway here she is:
