E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, After having a slight incident the other day its probably going to be cheaper to just buy a new panel and sand it down and paint it rather than going with beating it ... and repainting. As well as grabbing a few other parts to fix replaceable things. If I was to get a parts car what parts are people interested in? I also have a set of Jamex 35 - 40mm lowering springs and a mtech spoiler which i might sell as well as I will probably be best to free up some money and I wont be able to afford bilsteins for a while.

bravo 35 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 100mm is as low as you can go without cert. If the jamexs are 35-40mm lower than stock your car will be about 140mm off the ground at the jacking points. Basing this on a 50-55mm drop of mine putting me around 110-115mm off the ground and that is plenty low enough IMO unless you want real difficulties getting in and out of driveways. I already scrape judder bars and some drives without going lower. Parts? Soz Andy broke as a bitch at the moment and the only bits I really want (fogs) I know you want yourself. Give me a yell if you need a hand pulling a car to bits or sanding or whatever your one - I did all the prep work on my bumper and I know how tedious it can be. I have a fornt valance with some minor damage I could prob hook you up with for a few beers or something - might be cheaper to fix than yours and already the right coulour apart from the damaged.area. But no bumper. i paid $180 for my new front valance and I think that was a tiny bit on the steep side, but not unreasonable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) Can I get an idea of who if anyone would be interested in the following - mtech 1 rear spoiler - facelift foglights - 2 door sports cloth seats - drivers with rips - rest mint. - rear taillights - front and side indicators - trunk and boot emblems - wheels with good tyres (could suit track as will come with spare set of mags) - rear bumper - 'genuine' front motorsport badge - lowering springs and shocks *unknown brand - havent seen yet - glovebox and latch - front valance in good condition without bumperstrip - full BMW E30 tool kit - BMW Jack engine is be rooted is a 316, not worth parting out. I have an idea of some of the price I want, i will try make them as realistic as possible as i need to make the money back from the car. Will know by mid next week whether the car is mine or not.. still have a bit to sort out. But pays to confirm interest before hand.
