What's your car's frankenstein factor...?

[Maluco]

Mine's pretty up there. As far as I can recall right now...

Blue text for the adds..

1 - Hood from an 87 vert.
2 - Right fender from my wrecked 84 318i.
3 - Rear trunk spoiler from my wrecked 84 318i.
4 - Elips from sold 89 325is.
5 - Seats from sold 89 325is.
6 - Ashtray from sold 89 325is.
7 - Strut Brace from sold 89 325is.
8 - Couple of straighter BW from sold 89 325is.
9 - Fuel filter protective cover from sold 89 325is.
10 - Front bumper from some e30.
11 - Valance from my totalled 92 325i vert.
12 - Lower wheel well cover from my totalled 92 325i vert.
13 - Air Damn tunnel from my totalled 92 325i vert.
14 - MTech wheel from some random e30.
15 - Center wheel caps from some random e30 (that I still haven't put on)
16 - 5spd from another 90 325is (along with pedal box)
17 - "Non-vibrating" (hopefully) Driveshaft from some year 325is.
18 - ICV from some random e30. (random e30 that had a bad ICV btw:letitout:)
19 - Leather E-Brake handle from random e36.
20 - Shift Lever Z4 2.4 (Note: notchier than most seem to think IMO)
21 - Euro Grills from random e30.
22 - Shift knob from a Katrina flooded e36.

That's all I think although "that's all" seems to be more than I though. I've been wanted to write it all out for a while. More to add in the future I'm sure.

Mine is about 95% frankensteined
You'll find parts from VW's, Mazda's, circle track cars, rare model Bimmers, etc.... all on it
The only things that are still origanal to the car from when I got it is the unibody, hood, doors, sunroof panel, headliner, carpet, and wiring. Everything else has come from some other e30 or elsewhere.
