Thoughts on this please zoners?

Looks like it could need a bit more than just a respray, the area around the rear boot seal looks to be on its way. However, the car does have plenty of other stuff going for it and I'm tempted to make an offer.
Fancying a summer E30 but...

from the pictures the cills will need looking at soon enough as will the drivers side rear arch.
as mart says that engine bay

if you're close enough go have a look at it in the metal & go from there.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Thanks mate, I'm actually just up the road from you so it'd be a remote buy probably. Seller going to strip that rubber boot seal and send me some pics at the end of the week but I'm thinking its definitely going to need a fair bit of remedial work.steve_k wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 5:39 pmlooks like it could be a decent project for the long term,billyfrost wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:23 pmThoughts on this please zoners?

no worries,
remote buying (buying blind in essence) is a bit sketchy,
fingers crossed it's just the pics that make it look bad,
but it does look like it could be the basis of a decent project & wouldn't need too much doing to it.

Buyer sent me a few more photos, seems that rear boot area has had some previous poor repairs (filler & fibreglass), so not sure if it's worth the £5500 asking price.
I really would have to see it for that price,billyfrost wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 12:27 pmBuyer sent me a few more photos, seems that rear boot area has had some previous poor repairs (filler & fibreglass), so not sure if it's worth the £5500 asking price.
