I bought this to raid some parts off and generally rape for spares. I'm an enthusiast way before a breaker though, and it's solid in all the right places and runs really sweet. If I can help it, this car doesn't deserve to die, so I'm putting it up for sale. The price takes into consideration what I can make breaking it.

The poor thing's a bit bashed and dented, so you've either got the choice of put the time and effort into the bodywork (certainly cost effective at this price), or rat it.

If it goes for the asking price, I'll throw in a trolley dash through my parts heap for any parts you might need to do her up.

Will do. I'll let you write your name on the logbook when you buy it so you know for sure

I think the MOT's March, but I didn't get the certificate with it, so I'm getting a reprint done in the week.

I'll do some pics of the rear end in a bit. From memory, I'd say it's in pretty uniformly about an inch. It looks worse becuse the bumper irons crumpled (clever 1970's Germans thinking of these things). I think there's a coupe rear bumper in my parts heap you can have with it. If there isn't, there's a late saloon one, but it needs clipping back together (plastic's off the iron).

The boot floor's still true, but there's a ripple in each rear quarter that's probably related. It'd be a straightforward pull with a jig if you know a bodyshop that doesn't mind a quick cash job. Or if it were me doing it for myself. I'd take my chances and pull it out with a couple of straps.

get a heatgun on those bumpers! will look 10x better dude!

I'd offer to swap an E34 530i se manual but don't fancy the fuel cost driving down to swap. Glwts, car looks awesome.

I'd have to say no anyway - BMW's kill my back!

I can send some pics via email if you like?
