paid tenner to have the 325i shell taken away and crunched,
i had all the bits off it... engine, box, diff, prop, exhaust, complete front + rear subframes, doors, bonnet, boot, complete wiring loom, bodykit, bumpers, and interior,
90% of it has gone onto my other 325i shell so its being built from ground up full restoration.
can`t wait to drive it soon.

8O a tenner?? I take it you must live very close to a scrappy's who love you? Round dolgellau way you get charged about Ԛ£40 and thats if a car is whole and they can get parts off it, no one will touch a shell :cry:

THats what deterred me from stripping one e30 i had, i had nobody to pick it up, and couldnt leave the shell on public road

Ha ha you've been done mate :lol:
My scrappy is about 4-5 miles away and he picks my old shells up for free!
Thats why I'm planning on breaking a couple myself over the summer :D
