A Shell

[euroshark]

lol, wow, I didn't think you'd say you would think about it...

If you really want it, I'd just remove what i installed... I'll even throw the 2.7 back in but Im not gonna hook it up or anything.

In any case, I say go with a free shell with plastic bumpers. You won't be able to fit big fat tires out back as easy, but do it anyways. Then I can keep working on mine and hopefully get it down to 4 corners this summer!

when i make the lists, you want me to post a topic, or do you want to handle it, so i dont look selfish? i can finish the list in about two hours.

I'll post it. It was my idea to do this so therefore it's a project you didn't think of, your just going along with it. If it came from you it be begging for change.

I'd make arrangements for the shell first and figure out what it includes. Once You know it's on the way start pulling your car apart, fix the maintenance stuff='s list. Who knows maybe someone's coming from Ca to Az and they could hook you up with a tow.

The challenge here is to build the best car for as little as possible, The investment will be hard work and people putting a car together. It's not you being cheap, I thought it up and am curious to see if it can get done.

We can add/subtract from the lists as time goes on. Think it through and we'll get it up soon.

See Bro

The Balls rolling. I mean the Idea has been in the public concious less than Twenty four hours and you've already scored a 90 325 chassis and some grills for free. Dude you gotta thank Rede30 1000 times over. Jean deserves some thanks. What a cool way to get this started. Major score. I think the name of the game is donations. You loved that your beater cost you $50, how about a bitchin E30 for $100. Your pimpin your own ride with help from others. You need to keep a list of who hooked you up with what so you can give them credit WHEN it's done. You owe it to these folks to finish it. So your getting a roller, what's next? Evaluate/ dissassemble your car..make the lists.

Can I push it off a cliff?

I believe we can have something along those lines arranged. would make one helluva video.

i am just going to scrap the shell i have right now.

I'd be willing to remove my 3.5 and associated parts from my E30 and sell you the shell for what I paid for it... plus a small wash and wax fee :)

$300?

I will think about it dude. this other shell is a late model, free and a little bit closer. but you are my friend, and i will think about it. how long is it gonna take to remove everything? and would the car be literally nothing? or will it have some parts?

[Jean]

How much does an e30 go for at auctions, $100 ? Is that where you guys get your rolling chassis from ??

I don't have that many e30 parts as I pretty much replaced most everything with new and old parts were thrown away (junk) but you can have my stock grills in good condition if you need them as I am waiting for euro grills.

in about 4 weeks rede30 is going to let me come and pick up a 90 325i shell and i can go from there.

and my car has a bent frame. crushed radiator support. bent in fender support and the passenger side of the front end is torn away from the firewall. in other words, unfixable

[Fanzotti]

yeah, I saw that. but I didn't feel like reading 3 pages of thread where every post is 4 paragraphs long :p

Sorry Nando, I'll shorten it up when I post it. Hope your cool with that Idea.

Mike I'd consider what Nando has to say. What exactly needs fixing on the front end of your car? Is it just a few pieces? or the entire front end? Whatever, lets get a project going and see if others are willing to jump in? If not you'll be no worse off than you are now.

Yeah, we was typing like madz yo!

if it works out that would be so awesome. getting parts for free, and building some tight stuff.

you know, you don't have to cut off the entire front end of the E30 just to fix the front end damage you have. a new core support and a few hours on a frame machine could fix it easily. cut out the core support and pay the $600 to have it put on and straightened, instead of trying to hack together 2 different cars..

yeah i figured that out but we have a different plan if attack now.
