will 169 Report post Posted January 15, 2008 I am looking for a e30 facelift coupe body shell in ANY condition for a project I am wanting to get busy with, but it MUST still be registered or have the rego on hold. I have just had to go through the compliancing drama with one of my other cars, and it is hell, so don't want to do it again if I can possibly help it, especially because what I am doing will envoke extreme scrutiny if it has to be re-complied. I will be getting the mods I am doing, certed, but don't need compliancing (and all the costs involved) on top of that. Accident damaged, partly complete whatever.. I only need the bare shell essentially, and can repair it if necessary as i have more than enough bits to do so. PM me/post here if you have anything.

Andrew 30 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Comply it before you mod it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will 169 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers Andrew. Thought of that and have spoken to Glenn earlier this morning about it, but needs full compliancing as it was registered after 1991, not just a glorified WOF if it had been registered prior to 1991. That means they go through it with a FINE toothcomb so it may not be worth it depending on the current condition. I will have to check it out first before deciding.

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 Just checked this car Will Its no friggen good to anybody....parts car only The rear parcel shelf has been hacked for speakers and wont get a WOF let alone compliance So many E30's have been damaged like this The rear parcel shelf panel is a structural panel and should not be touched. It forms a body strengthening support and anchor support for seat belts. Cheers Glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will 169 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks Glenn, was planning to come down to see it tomorrow so saved a trip.. Brent, thanks, but I want to avoid a complete car if possible because I am already up to my eyeballs in e30 parts which are very difficult to get rid of because of my location and transport. But I will see and contact you if nothing else turns up. Sounds too expensive for what it is though.. Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
