Dead 525

   Hi,
Some of you members may remember my woes.  I've had such a series of bad luck with my BMW.  Firstly, within a year of buying it, the big end bearing went.  Bought replacement engine (with docs to say had done 70k miles) Head gasket went within 4 months.  Now, poor compression (according to garage) means the car won't start without being towed.
I am reluctantly halting fixing this as I've run out of money. I've options to get fixed later on but as I've no garage or even a driveway, I need to face facts that I have to sell it.
Therefore, anybody interested in a partially running 525 G Reg. No sensible offer refused.
Alternatively, if any kind member is offering to help me fix...and store it...I am also open to offers.  I hate to see it go but I've spent nearly 2k in last year.  I'd love to fix it up but am no serious mechanic..Think we're looking at piston rings etc...

Cheers
Jeff
