Well, I had to make the engine compartment look like it deserved the Hartge equipment so a complete restoration was in order.

This created "OPERATION HARTGE" where many of my new BMW nut friends traveled from as far as Texas to help me tear apart my car. I was living in Savanna Georgia.

I took over 30 pictures as I removed the components so I could get them back in the same place.

THIS IS TRULY A RARE CLASSIC, BUT WHAT'S EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS THAT IT HAS A MONSTER ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD. I SEE YOU'VE PUT ALOT OF WORK INTO THIS SPECIAL VEHICLE AND YOU DESERVE THE PRAISE...10 STARS. COME CHECK OUT MY E39.
