There's a white touring 320 in my local scrap yard, is there any bits worth taking off that are hard to get hold off or worth a few quid?
shame for it to see the crusher if I can get some bits off it

If the tailgate is rust free it's worth a few bob.

Always people looking for 51mm front struts and rear disc trailing arms!

Also the anti-roll bars (front and rear) could be considered an upgrade for most non-sport E30s.

why not see if you can get the whole car?

then strip it & sell off the part's, makes more sense to me.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Did the 320 tourings get the bigger rear claipers too or are they on drums?

Yep, All tourings have the larger rear callipers and 325 fronts.

However the fist part of any e36 calliper is the same and goes on with E30 brackets.

thanks, i'll have a closer look, someone has already had the windscreen out of it. the o/s rear wheel is not facing the right way, so its not even rolling otherwise i would have considered the whole car.

The ECU and OBC (if fitted) will be worth having.

Where in the country is it? I could do with a few touring bits if you wanted to grab them.
