Spent a couple of lovely days in the drive stripping my e34 of its engine, loom, steering joint,ecu's to go in the cabby. I'm using my m20 g/box so launched the m50 one back into the shell for the scrappers. Is there any little things i should remove before the car goes.

Cheers all

Could be, i tried putting a thread on here saying i was stripping the car, put on some pictures, didn't want anything for the parts apart from a beer, thought it may help someone out of a bind but it was pulled, a zoner was after some trim bits but never got back to me and i haven't the space to store anything so off it goes to the wreckers.

Roof rails are worth a few quid if the paint is still intact, clear indicators maybe? Does it have aircon?

Its got clear front and side indicators, i'll whip them off tomorrow. paint is good on the rails but again lack of space means they'll get damaged laying about. No air con which was a pain because i wanted the leccy fan.

The wiring for an electric fan is all there, doesnt take much effort to pull it out. The roof rails keep outside well, thats where mine live :)

I think my other half would shoot me if i started leaving parts outside the house, she already reckons it looks like a scrapyard now, she may have a point though....
