Wonder how long he's had it, he's never had the engine running even.
May be worth something with the body kit, but I doubt it. Don't think it's that special is it?

Definitely looks too far gone. Shame.
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring

the floor in that is bound to be fooked sitting onthe floor its allways going to be damp under neath. ive seen a fiesta rs turbo before that had been parked on grass for a couple of years. the thing was imaculate apart from the blown up engine. but when i looked underneath it was rotten as hell as it was allways damp cause of the grass.

Its worth saving, but it will not be an easy project to let it go back on the road with a ticket and tax!
If it wasnt because Im moving soon to Southern Sweden I would maybe think about it, get a trailer and go for a drive to UK and take it back to Sweden for then send it to one of our Eastern European countrys and let them fix it up for me.....

I hope some one can take care of this motor even if it looks like a roten shed now!

Doesnt really do a lot for me but then I don't really take any interest in anything pre E21 - looks way too far gone - better to use the parts to keep others on the road - you would need a bottomless wallet to restore it properly.

e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite

Looking again, it looks like it has roof damage above passengers door.. (from being lifted on a forklift maybe?)

that is def finished,ive had lots of 02's and thats one of the worst ive seen.not sure its a tii either as it should have a round clock to the left of the instruments and as someone says has lost its injection motor,rare zender bodykit though and they look great.

roof both sides is crumpeled as has been lifted with chains through the car. if you had a 02 already this might give some spares and rare bits etc but not worth restoring IMHO

im not known for my car common sense either. a planned light general tidy up on an old celica turned into an 8 year complete restoration and engine conversion and cost me more than the £28000 worth of receipts i kept. it wasnt tax deductable on my tax return either as they wouldnt accept it as essential vehicle maintainance :D
