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

    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.

                      I've only owned it since October so I kinda suprised myself with how big this list is already. :p

                      2. Front bumper shrouds, '88 vert

                      13. Trunk carpet and plastic trim panel, '89 iX (had to trim carpet to fit around early lights - before I realized they were different, this was like the first thing I did to the e30 haha)
