If it was a 325 shell, then it would probably be worth a little bit more

Is it a rolling shell ?
Does a 86 car have small back lights ?
Where is the car located ?

Color ? Location ?

How "bare" is the shell, can you arrange delivery ?

PM an idea of the price you are looking for, could be what i'm looking for :D

eko its not my car,as for exspensive i dont have time or the money to pay someone to patch,weld or put new panels etc on a dog e30,sh*t e30s are 3-650 then needs loads to make them even tidy :) as with this its all original panels,paint,never welded just needs a nice block etc to put in her :D

Its too expensive IMO, you can get a much better deal buying a lowly 4 pot model complete

The question is, if its so clean why is the owner stripping it to a bare shell?

If it was pretty much minty mint and complete, I can't see why I wouldn't pay £1500 for it.

A bag of sand? I think he's a heroine addict and needs to feed it with a tag like that. Scrap isn't exactly on the up at the moment!

if it is mint i would be suprised !

it's amazing how many describe theirs as mint when they don't know where to look,
I spent 6-7 weeks trawling coast to coast every evening finding one with ZERO rust

I payed over a grand for one with zero rust, and it was worth every penny :D

Not mint then??

Just incase you are confused as to what 'mint' actually refers to: Mint Condition

A car that has had paint isn't origonal. If it's not as it left the factory it isn't mint IMO

i sold my mint 1991 2dr 318i complete for £300.

Although the engine had seen better days - the shell was spot on
