Packet of Walkers crisps and a mars bar?
Just joking, could be worth anything without pics and a bit more details

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

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

Because it would have a better suspension set-up?

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

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

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