Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted May 25, 2012 I would sit on them for a while don't rush into anything for a while. Yep, gonna find out from the certifier first what the criteria are, these have both been registered in NZ previously which i heard makes it easier. Meanwhile there is no harm in collecting parts... I wandered down to pickapart in Tauranga last week and found what would have been a near immaculate FL 320i in Diamond Schartz, mint panels, interior, ms steering wheel, etc It had sustained minor frontal damage only, grille, front of the bonnet etc. The engine was spotless and clearly a well maintained car. Now a bit lighter after my two trips to strip it, he he. Anyone looking for a mint headliner in beige with no sunroof best be quick. I will collect it for someone for a donation to my cause.

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted May 25, 2012 just check with the vinning place , if its just dereged and not writen off by issurer then just a matter of banging it through and see what they fail it on costs about $300 for the check , just get them to check the reg or chasis number first to make sure its all good to put through. if it has been writen off then you need a engineers cert on the repairs and chasis reports , wheel alignment etc etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Hmmm don't over capitalize on them! Perhaps turn one into a better one, and scrap the other. That is what I would do. replaced the trashed ignition, added some fresh gas and got the 323 running for a compression test. Unfortunately brown mayo started showing in the expansion tank..........i now have 2 e30's with blown HG's! there is a large vacuum line that comes up from under the intake and connects to the intake just above the rocker cover. (driver side of intake manifold) where the idle? screw is. Someone has put a cap in that pipe...? with the cap removed the idle is up around 2k. Is this a popular mod/bypass? The original air box has been changed to a pod filter if that is relevant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 I found these two diamond schwartz e30's slowly rotting away, and decided to intervene. This is them after a wash, de-weeding and 50 cockroaches had escaped. 1 is a pfl 323i manual, the other a pfl 320i auto Now wondering what the go is with re-compliance and suspension? the coupe has been dropped and is on some "interesting" chromes and stretched tyres. The 4 door is at a good height on some 15's that should clean up ok. The plan is to get the coupe re-reg using parts from both. For re-compliance will the suspension need to be back to original or just legal? Anyone interested in those lovely chromes feel free to make an offer...... Now parting these out 323i has blown HG 320i has no suspension left Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
