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.

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....
