I could buy a 1997 1.9l z3 automatic roadster from my grandpa. It was always parked in a garage but has some rust that has been welded. It leaks oil, I don’t know where exactly because he just told me this information. He also said that the motor sometimes just turns off. It would be my first car and I would like it as a project because I don’t need a car everyday. My question is, is it a good idea to try and restore it or is it a lost cause. (Sorry for the bad picture. It’s the only one I have.)
