Quick - Free iS in W Yorks

[Nick45]

Alright chaps? I've been trying to post this since Thursday so time is running out. Basically the head on my 318iS is cracked and I've decided it's a non-economical repair for me. Furthermore, I'm not in a position to store the car and strip for bits (moving house/ no storage). The upshot of this is that my old iS is currently at XXXXXXXXXXX waiting to be scrapped
The shell is solid and smart - no rust to speak of (although one filled hole under the drivers sill) and the dark check MTEC interior is v.good/ no rips. There's also assorted other interior goodies like the black headlining as well as sound gearbox/ diff etc. If someone has an engine to throw in & a decent set of wheels the car would make a fantastic daily driver. Brake pipes all sound/ new petrol tank.
I've settled up all the bills etc so if anyone wants it to either restore or for the bits and can tow it, give 'em a bell. They ought to let you just take it away. Ask for Steve and say Nick put a message up on the E30 site. NB I don't think they'd appreciate people going down with spanners to cannibalise the motor - but if someone can save 'em the trouble of towing it, I think they'd be more than happy. Hope someone can use this - Nick

Damn damn damn.
I was at home between Leeds and Keighley this weekend but I'm now back at uni in Newcastle.
Would it drive 20 miles?

[smithy318i]

Cracked head dude = STEAM !
I told Daz about it already. He is probably already on his way

[Widge]

Doesn't mean it can't be driven though, might just have to keep stopping and filling the water up!
Which just to get it home is ok.
Oh well, as long as Daz has got it and it's not being scrapped.

[320Touring]

I'd be interested If Daz doesnt come to collect-could be down on wed night if req'd

[Nick45]

Did drive - don't now. Top end is in a box in the boot! As I say it's a tow only. Brakes etc are all totally sound though.

[Widge]

Oh well. I'm sure some one on here will take it. If no one has by the weekend I will.

Mate you should change your Sig to
"318iS(DEAD) & 320 Auto Touring - STILL equally clueless about both"

just trying to get hold of a tow now will go fetch in the morning

nice one mate
will try to keep it in 1 piece

wht colour is it ??

[Nick45]

Achtung - "Brilliantrot"! Sorry... bright red.

It is as well - not the usual faded version either. The only thing I've taken off it are the clear front indicators and the cross spokes. If you find my missing eighth under the seat, let me know lol! By the way, it's registered in my other half's name (insurance purposes) but the details on the V5 etc are all legit.

[dazleeds]

all sorted

just transport now
will be collecting in morning

nick will give you a shout tomoro mate

lol geeman-an unusual lapse of reading ability on your part!

the "demon Daz" has struck again!

the iS now resides in the illustrious company of a 320i auto

[Geeman]

Bugger. An ideal base car for the 335i project. Bugger again. Maybe Daz would want to swap my donor 525e for this... now THERE'S a plan!

Daz...?

[andrew325]
