Mark 178 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 I am pretty sure this is the "cut n shut" car that was talked about on the forums a few years ago. Story was that Atta (crazyarab) wanted to buy it, so took it for an inspection. He was told the whole front end was from a different car. Then the owner sold it to Archibald Barr (the used car dealership). It is very tidy... but it's two different cars (I'm 90% sure). I'll do a search and find out if this is totally true, or if I have a bad memory and have this confused with another car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 "QUOTE (_Mark_ @ Aug 15 2009, 01:04 PM) I just realised this is the car that Atta looked at when he was searching for an E30. Was being sold privately then. He took it to DCH Motorsport for a look over and they told him it had had a massive shunt at some point and most of the front end has been cut and shut from another car. They basically told him not to touch it with a really long pole of the barge variety. That's so funny, because we both commented on this very car in Andre's Tech I pics thread yesterday and didn't realise it was one and the same. I was going to have a look at it today.... not any more! Hahahaahah it's that one!! I KNEW I HAD SEEN THAT PLATE BEFORE... Yeh, don't go near it :/ I could have picked it up for 7.5k... wow thats a mark up." Sounds like a smash & stitch job, kinda raises suspicions by the lack of description alone. If it's such a fantastic example surely you'd be a little more enthusiastic in your selling than one poorly constructed sentence?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 They do like crashing. Normally backward into fences? Anyway, if the repair is good it shouldn't make too much difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 Agree, if its been done properly youll probably find its straighter than one that hasn't been done. e30's arent the most ridged cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
