Interesting Junkyard Find..

[ZM Blue Devil]

I need to check my pms pretty sure I bought stuff or at the minimum exchanged pms with "steve"

[LJ851]

Someone here must know the story. What happened ?

does the brick pattern in the driveway look the same to you??? Pattern in the 333i pics and steve z's for sale pics for comaprison

from andrews album


from steve z's album


hate that this happened to him, lets hope that he didn't get hurt. Maybe he will come on here and let us know what happened. I feel bad for him, a lot of effort went into that.

If this Steve Zissou/Japandrew theory is correct, what do I win for uncovering it in the first post of the original part-out thread Ha, I hope it's not true. But if it is, I wish I would have bought something from that part-out just to say that I own something from Japandrew's former car.

Lol, I got his manual windows...

uh, what? I don't follow what you're getting at.

I'm saying that Zissou is Japandrew and got on here merely to pedal the pieces he grabbed off the car before it ended up in the crusher.

I'm saying that I agree with your theory, and that "steve zissou" is representing that he somehow obtained this car recently, despite the amazing similarities: high res pics of super clean parts. taken in the driveway. recently. schwarz parts not seen on the junkyard car.

Either "steve zissou" did scoop the totalled car whole, or the owner is in hiding...

got a great deal on a wrecked car at an impound in wilmington. I'm in santa ana. PM for details

Given the driveway, I'd say 100% that Zissou is Japandrew.

IP's say alot too ;)


But i'd still want to know what happened. And why the front tow hook is plated instead of painted?

He is never going to own up. look at how much trouble he went to:

Love of God, what hapend to this car to get parted, everything coming off looks mint.

Looks like you stripped japandrew's car. Whereabouts in SoCal?

Thanks for compliments, got a great deal on a wrecked car at an impound in wilmington. I'm in santa ana. PM for details

Wonder if those "period correct look" engine mounts gave way...

[Unearth078]

Ashame about this car.

Somebody should find his email and tell him to come on and let everyone know what went on.

[george graves]

He knows. Ohhhhh trust me, he knows. ;)

Tough break. I really liked that car for it's clean super stock look. Damage doesn't seem that bad but then again, to the insurance it's just an 84 318i.
