I found this legendary 1930s BMW R12 abandoned in a local junkyard, completely buried under scrap metal and rusted to its bones. The owner thought it was in a truly catastrophic, unrepairable state and sold it to me for just $500! In this video, we take this vintage beast back to our lab for a complete scratch restoration.
