BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 mate that is an awesome car! restore it and don't let it rot away in that field...i dont think the chasis is quite straight . so might let this one go , and use the parts to fix up a freinds nz new 87 525ee that has a striaght chasis but could do with a 5spd box and maybe the body kit.any one wanting the 2.7 block?? or resonable good panels , doors , boot lid , bonnet . gaurds etc ???
