And the rest! 635csi highlines are fetching £12k plus in good nick!
Luckily most people seem to want the aesthetically challenged Highline, so the early better looking E12-based ones are still 'on the cusp' :duck:

Cheap ones are out there, try looking for a 628CSI which are still unloved. I bought this one for £444 with a broken gearbox:

You'll need to find someone who knows exactly what they're doing if you're taking on a project though + the bits that are rusty will be rusty on all the donor cars out there, so don't expect to find many cheap second hand parts:
rust dosnt scare me I and my dad have replaced quarter panels that were completely rusted out and replaced rust on winow pillers that were so rusted the roof was disconnected from the body and we make our own panels. also money dosent scare me as I care about what I spend money on CARS!! electrics scare me!!!!!!!

Fair enough. Still doesn't change the fact that it's not and never was.

At the end of the day it's your money, spend it how you want.

It was irritating at first but now I know he's a young lad, crack on. Clearly has passion.

M30's are pretty easy. You will need custom mounts, LeeParkes on here does them, or 300mm.de. Then have a look in the m30 section or the wiki, which has a guide
