Hi all, i have been offered back my 325i sport 1989 in grey by the salvage company for £125.

The only thing wrong is a back-end smash. so the back quarter is fooked.

Engine, gearbox, LSD, everthing else is good. What do you reckon?

worth getting and e-baying?

If it was in good condition prior to the accident I'd say yes, can sell the bits for more than £125.

Think you have just answered you own question there, if all that work has been done you may aswell shell out £125 and salavage as much money back as you can from it ie seats, engine, door cards etc.!

Bring on the summer and my 325 Sport!
