E30stz 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) For all those that have blown up their engine, cracked the head or are looking at getting rid of their shell please give this a read. I am looking at purchasing a shell to replace my current car that will be most likely written off due to a rear end accident last week. My basic specifications are below, if yours does not comply please dont hestitate to post up anyway. E30 Facelift Shell 88-91 2 Door or touring lol No rust - maybe some exceptions. No motor is fine No gearbox is fine Would prefer rolling on alloy wheels Must be straight No sunroof preferable but okay. Good paint, no oxodised nor fading would be preferable. Trying for as stock as possible, so please state what non stock modifications if any that it might have. Modified suspension not a huge worry, as this will be getting replaced anyway. Preferably from an E30 318i but will consider others. note : if you know its a dawg of a car please dont mislead me into buying it, I've already lost my fair share of E30's. feel free to put up any trademe or other auction / forsale sites. This car is going to be gutted for a race car so suggest you dont go for any over $2k at an absolute max. Edited April 30, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conrod 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 Have a look at the car I bought in "E30 race car" post that I started in the performance section. Very minor damage to front radiator support panel, and broken sump/engine mounts. MINT shell, very good paint, no sunroof,no rust, mint interior, alloys wheels,(4 new tyres, unused spare, jack, tools etc!) picked up from Turners Damaged Vehicle Auctions for $600! You will find a few dogs while you are looking, but be patient, one will turn up that suits. I found several others after buying mine that fit your criteria, and were cheap. All the usual places, trademe, Turners etc. Loads of them for sale, just be fussy, and you will find what you want! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
