[Returnof318i]

[aj_mckay]

Is there a story behind this?

[m4xos]

looks like it would scrub up to me!! i'll have it if you dont want it!!

[fuzzy]

is it meant to have the white grill or is that a halfords add on?

[The_Diddler]

Does'nt look like the worst i've seen recently, that grills just sh*t thou.

Looks likw it would scrub up ok

[bss325i]

Does'nt look like the worst i've seen recently.....

Worst C1 recently?

[Pal318is]

Definately has some potential there...

[Returnof318i]

It certainly does, someone told me it wasn't original though? theres no dash plaque, it is a 2.3 though

[kdevitt]

Its registered as a 323i anyway!

All sytner converted cars retained their base car id on the V5.

C1 2.3's will be 323i's

C2 2.7's will be 325i's

B10 3.5's will be 535i's etc

[Returnof318i]

Oh ok, did they do a normal 323 anyway?

[bss325i]

What do you mean normal 323i?

An alpina 323i or a BMW 323i?

[Returnof318i]

I did not know you could buy a 323 e30 that was not an Alpina.

[Alex]

it looks like it will clean up

its crying out for alpina wheels and a black grill

What did you think Alpina modified then?

[cliffybabe]

them skirts r strange

[adit]

is this a ? i'm sure i was reading about this the other day.

My C2 started life as an 323i , then was converted to a C2 2.5. The log book still shows it as a 323i but with the correct engine size. When I needed some bits from Alpina my BMW dealership had to comfirm it was a verified conversion and it's recorded against my VIN with BMW ( North Oxford contacted Synther and it is held at Brackley I was told ).

[fozzymandeus]

Chances are likely that white grill is an authentic Sytner appendage. In fact, that car looks pretty original, bar the make-do mish mash of wheels. I'm impressed it still has the snow plough.

[Returnof318i]

I had about 5 offers for the snowplough, rejecting them all though unless i dont get any interest in car on pistonheads. I am sure grill is original when you look at it its deifnately not just slapped on paint.

Ringing sytner tomorow

Well i think its the original centre grill anyway, anybody noticed that there are no vents in it, its solid plastic in the middle, these were fitted to all early cars i think, later centre grills and any new ones available now are open in the middle......................

£600 seems on the money for a resto project, makes the other C1 for sale at the moment about £1900.00 over priced.... , i have seen the other one in the flesh and as pacerpete has often said " it ain't no prize"

[jbh]

interesting.... hows the inner rear arches? what welding is needing done ?

[Returnof318i]

I really dont know tbh, i not sure what i looking at rot wise. I was told by previous owner it needs work underneath, two rear arches have an average amount of rot at one end, but the rest of it is in surprising condition, Front looks stonking.

[Alex]

ive got some black grills if your interested,

[Returnof318i]

So have i

In fairness the other one has Alpina wheels, Alpina steering wheel, a black leather sport interior, an MOT, and you could drive it home!

Are you saying thats worth nothing

[Alex]

thats really tempting me to sell the IS for it

[Alex]

what work does it need

[Chris-W]

Well i think its the original centre grill anyway, anybody noticed that there are no vents in it, its solid plastic in the middle, these were fitted to all early cars i think, later centre grills and any new ones available now are open in the middle......................

Yep - also the semi blocked side grills.

[Returnof318i]

Welding I dont know how bad, i know the jacking points need doing, If i hook up a battery everything works, fans ignition, lights all fogs, but immobiliser says no. And flashes. She Just needs bodywork sorted and A dam good valet. I reckon She will look stunning with orig wheels on!! I dont wanna say what needs doing when i am not really sure, i got hold of the car by chance, not because i wanted a resto!!

[Returnof318i]

If shes not gone in the next 2 weeks, ill take the kit and other few bits off and scrap her
