rust

Greetings from New York 👋 I've owned my 1998 BMW Z3 Roadster 2.8L for about four years. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, it did sit for a majority of this time. I've enlisted with the forum in the hopes of receiving help and opinions where necessary and getting tips for bringing it back to...
