Gauging Interest

Recommended Posts

After Glenn's run down on the car (chassis rust, and some douchebag cutting into my parcel tray), i've decided to check the level of interest in my car as parts.

Model: 325i 1986 (not sure if iS or not)

Colour: Diamond Schwartz

Body Type: Mtech1 Coupe

Interior: Full houndstooth sport with black head liner

Exhaust: Stock with Remus Muffler

Not sure what else to say. If you've got any questions or want a picture of something, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards

Andrew

Parents not keen on me parting the bimmer out in the garage, any advice? I thought hire out a lockup for a few weeks? Seems that the car is most definitely going to be parted now unless someone wants the whole car. Did just get its warrant last friday (inspector must have been severely short sighted).

Regards

Andrew

Glenn / Andrew, how is the gearbox?

Can only rate condition on shifting experience, but is pretty smooth.

I havent driven it yet

BTW: I am a licenced AVI (A6013) and I've been one for over 20yrs now. Had the testing station manager here yesterday to inspect the car and take photos. He is now conducting an internal investigation as to why it was issued with a warrant. He is going to ring me with the result.

The WOF issues are:

Fuel lines perished and split

R/H engine mount broken

Control arm bushes

Exhaust leaking- broken studs in manifold

Rust holes in both sills & floor

Rear parcel tray hacked for speakers

Steering coupling

i thought when the no cutting rear parcel tray law came in around 2000ish, cars that had it already done before that time where passed, but any car that had it done after that time where failed due to reasons mentioned above>?

Or are all cars now or should they be failed if the rear parcel tray has been cut?

If the metal tray constitutes a structural, integral part of the chassis structure and supports the seat belt anchor points....its a fail

Andrew, Tom and I are keen for the whole car. We're cooking something up. Give him a text with how many benjamins we'd need.

Oh, and buy Ray's white 4dr!!!!

I was at Glenns today and I saw the car up on the hoist and had a good look. Its such a shame that it has to go out like this, it would be a fantastic car and has a HUGE amount of goodies in it!

I couldn't believe what I was seeing with that parcel shelf, not to mentioned the wof issues.
