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

[SpecM]

My AW 88 325 had an radio mast off a Daiwoo.

Yup it did.

[Mossman]

Temporary seats from 89 325is, waiting for seats I'm dying from parted 87 325is to go in

rear seat bottom from parted 87 325ic, back from 90 325ic someone else was parting.

Hmm, the only original parts on the turbo car are:

Gas tank and lines (soon to be replaced w/ one that isn't dented to shit)
Part of the interior
Body panels
Radiator

All of the suspension/drivetrain/motor is brand new or rebuilt from another car.

[Raxe]

1988 325 super eta

-Front and rear plastic bumpers from a 320i
-Black sport interior from a 1988 325is
-15" euroweaves from Germany
-Mtech2 wheel from a 1987 325ic

...everything else was purchased new or was refinished/redone/repaired. I've got a discount at the dealer and there isn't much in terms of decent parts yards or recyclers here, plus I wanted most of the stuff to be new if I was going to put so much time into appearance.
