Need a little advice really . Im possibly going to look at a green e36 touring 328 but !
It has a slippy clutch , cracked windscreen , possible snapped handbrake cable , bubbly front wings , possible rotten tear arches apparently been preserve by just painted over with hammerite .
The guy wants £500 his local but i think by the sounds of this info its a £300 jobby ?? No tax or test
Possible 328 touring buy

Is this as a engine donor or as one to drive? As I driver I would say that sounds like it should be scrap value.

Well it would be a daily driver to replace my van because its not needed anymore and the bigger boot and seats could flop down if needed . Id love to use as a donor as the m50 is getting boring but not feasible really .
I can fit the clutch myself but a price of £150 -£200 in parts plus £165 quote on screen plus tax n test , ive seen two pics and doesnt seem as bad as description maybe worth a look tomorrow :/

Went and viewed it just for the sake of it only 30min away , one word Rotten!!!
Doors ,wings, rear arches , front valance boot all rotten ! Every panel ha a ding or scratch inc roof . Just wasnt worth it.
Only thing its good for is its engine and leather interior and cats
Shame really as it was close but thats not the worst part ,i went in the e30 i got about half a mile away and big vibrations ! , turns out a bolt decided to fook off from the prop donut .so there me driving 30mph all the way home down country lanes and a long stretch of an A road !
