did someone set fire to the dash?

Your not kidding

Looks like some pikeys had attempted to fit a bangin ice install

looks like a scrapper to me, needs more work than its worth and aint really worth breaking either by the looks of it

what engine is it and condition

Why is it a scrapper? From what pics have been posted I havnt seen any serious rot or damage. Regardless of colour, there are plenty of people out there after a straight rot free shell, even if it is afflicted with a sunroof

Best colour imo and it looks like there is less rust on that than there is on most of the turds people have on here. Door cills are good as are the rear arches. Dent master type dude should be able to fix the small dents on the nsf wing and rear panel.

It has light wipers and they are worth a good few british pounds.

I have a rust free sunroof panel for a bronzit if you want it and I know where there is a rust free bronzit boot. Let me know if you are wanting to replace that one.

If E30's were rare i would see your point but to get this back to a nice car you would need to spend as much money on it as a decent E30 would cost in the first place.

Of course its rusty prehaps not very rusty but pictures can hide a world of sins especially when the cars a rust type colour in the first place.

Waste of time if you ask me frag it and move on

Pac thats just wasteful.......I would rather spend the same money you spent on an extra headunit, on fixing up an E30 like this. It would end up being a lovely looking car.

It looks to be a very solid base. And could with not a lot of money be made into a lovely car.

Good luck with it.

Go look at what people are spending on panels and repair work before you think a straight rust free shell is worthless (if it is straight and rust free of course)

If he wants to he could go and buy a rusty sh1tter of a 325i with all the bits to bring this one back to life

scary, dude... just stop

apparently someone ripped the radio out and it caused a fire ..

the interior got pinched ..

thinking about selling bits off it tbh or like i have said if anybody makes me a reasonable offer al sell the car as it is without the wheels that are on the front tho

I very much doubt that matey I've been over mine with a fine tooth comb, any way even if the shell is good that don't change the fact that for what it needs spending on it you could buy a good E30 with a good body any way

let me know if your seling it

got a lovely grey leater interior and dash etc which would go nicely in that

Is it a toaster yet ?

pac it's not your car-you've not even seen it,I however have seen it today when dropping off an se carpet at Pauls.this car has a very solid shell and would be a crying shame to make into toasters.

i did rape the headlight washer system while i was there though

i even replaced the parts for a standard set up as part of the deal so it's still a complete car.

any one needing a good shell or base model to play with this is a goer.

cheers mick ..... as mick says the pics doesnt do the car any justice .......... its goin up for sale in the next 2 weeks .......

did you actually give money for that ?

thats my business m8 ..... but yes i did ..........

bigredbmw wrote:thats my business m8 ..... but yes i did ..........

None of my business either but please say it was less than £100

clean shell

still needs a front pannel, wing, boot lid, dash....... then there's filler work needed on 1/4 and front wing. its not axactly a common colour and needs a re paint.

i'd say a bullseye

I thought you guys were supposed to be E30 enthusiasts?

That car needs max £150 spending on it, and I would put money on it ending up being cleaner than most E30's left on the roads.

Pac if I ever see you car and its not minty (as you describe) you will forever be a hipercrit in my eyes.

there are enthusiasts and delusional enthusiast.

£150 spending on it max................ to achive what ?

kos the shell itself is a good one,it's lacking in many departments spec wise but a solid shell =
a good project for a basis.
the areas you pointed out are changeable.i checked out the sunroof panel [from the outside]and not a blister the valance can be put straight it's solid and not that bad.

i dont need it but i have looked at it.

if it's solid in all the right places then good buy

the arches in the pics look pretty good ! nice colour too

You could easily make that car in a presentable condition.

£40 would get you a comfort interior,
£20 would get you a valance, plus a tenner for some spray paint,
£10 for some E30 wheel trims,
£10 in materials to tidy up the boot lid,
Then whatever's left to sort the electrics, if you know how.

See there you go not much money and you've got a tidy daily runner.

£10 to sort the boot lid out ? come off it mate, boot lids rotten. needs a new bootlid and proper paint paint. the front valance you could get away with a DIY job as its got stone chip finish to it.

i've bought clean staight cars, complete with 12 months MOT in decent colours for under £400.

i dont see what all the excitements about to be honest.

If it didn't turn into a hole its easily savebale. I agree if it goes to a hole then it will be more expensive.

I just think its a shame to scrap it for petty reasons. Its harder than you'd think to get a cheap E30 now.
