Topic: What are our odds
Hello,
Team Petroman is new to 24 hours of Lemons and would like some advice. My team aquired a 1997 740i through the Dallas Craigslist 4 months ago. The car has a flood damaged title, a salvage title and a bonded title. We beleave the car was a Katrina victim. The car sat for 4 years with drivers window open and was filled with trash and water. The owners husban thought the engine was fried. We put gas in it and changed the oil .We put a new crank position sensor from e-bay and a used power steering hose on it and it now runs and drives great, It has a laundry list of electrical problems on the dash due to corosion, but the drivetrain works fine .We aquired the car for a honest $300 dollars. My team is a friendlly group of people, we have a great super hero theme that young and oid will be completely entertained with. What are the odds of this car type car making it on the track? Has anyone entered a mid to late 90's BMW 7 series? I have seen the video of the one that was crushed. We would like to know how much of a uphill battle this project would be before we invest the energy. Any advice would be well received .
