I just thought it might be interesting to hear what tasty E30 treats people have tucked away in "time capusule" cardboard boxes in their garage? Whether its for use, or just for plain and simple hording.

For instance,

I have my Z3 rack and BTB3. Both to be used one day! I have many other hordables, but not much interesting stuff.


Just finding out what people think is worth keeping....

I've got a stack of E30 original sales brochures - thats about it as far as "rare" stuff goes :roll:

Rest of my "hoard" is just boggo standard parts - if it was desirable it would be on the car :D

Most of the parts I have are things like the fog light blanks, bus spec steering wheel etc... so that if I sell the chromie, I can return it to standard spec, and keep some of the nice bits for another E30.
