started stripping down my '88 325i to see just how bad the rot is, unfortunately the rear arches are completely shot (photo of the n/s one but o/s is much worse), holes in front footwells, around battery in boot/rear panel, spare wheel well, around bracket for fuel pipe - corroded in boot.

Now debating whether to restore, break or sell as is??? what do you guys think? other than the body work it's not a bad car, only done 114k and i've known the history of the car from new.

If your feeling kind, sell as is for a couple of hundred pound, as it won't see you much in that condition.

If your feeling flush, restore it, as it won't be cheap!

If your feeling skint, break it, this should see you with some money in your pocket to spend on another E30/beer/women, delete as appropriate.

If not get it repaired, if so then be prepared to put some ££££ and get it wax oilled when its done!
