I got yet another e34 520i today, this time it's green and missing even more parts, but it does have the papers. €450

I got another 520i today. This one is gray. I was looking at listings for e34 on fb marketplace when I saw a guy selling doors and seats for about 100 eur. I went there the next day and managed to get the whole vehicle (but with no papers) for €133 (1000.00 HRK). It's missing the engine, front hood and radiator as well as the bumpers, however the car was filled to brim with e34 parts so I would say this was a steal.
The guy was supposed to give me the radiator support panel after taking off and keeping the radiator but he never called back. I saw the owners friend selling the bumpers and complete radiator assembly few months later but they ignored my messages when trying to purchase that as well.

I bough a new car today. It's BMW 5 Series (E34) 520i from '88. It's black, in terrible condition - broken drive shaft, potentially damaged transmission, ripped seats, cracked paint, etc. A real beauty. It has LPG engine swapped from 525i, supposedly.

It's worth noting that I already own BMW 5 Series (E34) from '91 that I bought last year. It's 525i, black color with effect, pop out radio with sub in the trunk, sports suspension, spoiler, racing steering wheel, and (what I believe is) modified ECU. I also got new rims. Lot's of rice, yeah.

For the reference, I paid €1000.00 for the '88 model and €3,000.00 for '91 model.
The idea is to tune the 525i from '88 nd then swap that tunned engine into the nice '91 model. I also kinda fancy the idea of converting the car to ethanol and doing bi turbo. Oh, did I mention I also want to do my own ECU? Yeah...
For now both cars are rotting out in the sun, parked, tho.
