Mechanics was his passion
 

My brother bought our old  red BMW 325, 1987 a few years ago. He started by working the body, fixing the rust and adding few features of is own like spoiler and such. After a while, that wasn't enough for him, now he need to fix the engine to his fancy.

After taking out the engine from the car and fixing reinforcement rods under the hood, he was working on the engine parts when he died. At night he would sit in front of the TV, polishing the valves, sanding away all imperfections, making them shine.

He wanted the build a performance car with it. He had promises his 10 years old son that the car would be his when he would turn 18.

Now, the car is all dismantled, it is sitting in a garage all the engine in pieces. Even is mechanics bodies don't want to committed themselves to put it back together. They say that they are used working on Americans and Japanese making and that the precision needed to assembled that engine, is off their qualifications.

My brother was a bit of a nut case coming to is BMW. He was treating it has a baby, it really was is passion. He didn't have a degree in mechanics and all he knew, he'd learned by himself. He son wants to keep the car! Easy to understand.

Lets hope he will be as good as his father when is going to grow up or that he will have the financial capacity to have the BMW fixed.
