Project 350i, what's it worth?
Discussion
Hi All,
Last time I was on here I had bought a 1986 350i in red which was a runner as a winter doer upper!
That was nearly 2years or so ago, so long story short, stripped the car, over a few weekends and not looked at it since.......(don't ask)
Basically the main tub is still on the chassis which is a good one, doors bonnet boot sills etc are off, interior is stripped, some grp repairs are required but I feel this car is far too good to break...
Droplinks to front, polybushed suspension, aftermarket coilovers, good set of yoko's with a very good spare set on original lattice alloys.......
So my question is, anyone care to give an honest ballpark figure of what I can expect to get if put up for sale? or is she worth more broken? which would be a shame....
PS...Motor is good and strong....
PPS Can email pics before and after strip down if anyone interested.
Thanks.

Hi mate
Whats the condition of the interior?...
Whats the body like?
If the chassis is good all round and it needs putting back together...Repairing..Interior re-installed...Doors put back on..."I only asked you to blow the bloody doors off".....
And all the clutch, Gearbox and diff are in good fettle then i would hazard a guess of 2.5 gee gee's.....

If it had been a real good one to start I'd not have planned the strip down, lets just say that what I found beneath the not so perfect exterior was a lot better than expected hence given skills time and patience plus some £££ it will be a good car again...
Worst part I found was a p*ss poor accident repair to the passenger side A pillar, nothing that can't be rectified and infact have had a steel repair section fabricated to strengthen the area....
(can explain more)...but to anyone with interest....
Will probably wait a few days to see if any members here are interested before putting it up for sale elsewhere.
Cheers.

Hi Wyn,
All good thanks mate, you too I hope.....
Only reason it has to go soon is I'm losing the garage I'm keeping it in, no time or the inclination to find another....
otherwise would be keeping it until I found the the time to get around to to doing it...
could be a nice car again one day, boot spoiler, roll cage etc....
Hey ho....
