WTB: 2 door coupe shell

[Beej '86 325es]

Preferably white, no reds or bronzit. Open to other colors.

Must be rust free!

I'm swapping everything from my heavily modified E30 S50 over, and I'm looking for a really good example of an E30.

Preferably late model, but open to good example of early model.

Completion date: 2016?

Ha! Let's hope not. I'm finally living in an area caters to E30s, and I've got help! Definitely another big setback on the project, but it could turn out to be better. Heartbreaking though after all of the work I'd put into that car through 13 years of ownership.

What is the matter with the shell it is in now?

It's a rust bucket. After tearing off body panels that have been on there since it was new a lot of rust was uncovered. The cost of swapping shells will be around the same as repairing the rust. So it would be nice to start over with a clean shell.

Yup, I understand.

Bought an '86 325 on Friday! What luck...a local car brought up from Florida with 89k miles in white...perfect!

How are the pax rocker panels and floor boards on your current car. Rusty?
