I will have a chrome front euro bumper up soon Austin, not mint, but fairly good nick. I might be interested in a few bits off that white car. Driveline, diff, shifter plate console, trailing arms even off the scrapped one. -
Front bumper/valance/pass side smiley assembly are toast, unfortunately. Valance might be savable (not pretty by any means) but the bumper and headlight assembly are a total loss.Leave a comment:

That front bumper and valance might take a little bit of work to reuse... Nice pick up looks like a fun little projectLeave a comment:

My newest Alpine acquisition
I bought a buddy's wrecked cammed M50 euro converted car a few weeks ago after he slid out on some ice and wrecked it. After many long hours or hard searching, I came across this little alpine beauty last night and picked it up this am.
Car is an 05/1986 build 325es with 166k original miles. Alpinweis over perlbeige vinyl interior. Spent the majority of its life in AZ before making its way to CO for 4 years or so. Car is very, very clean with 95% original paint and zero rust! Has a blown up 2.7 due to timing belt neglect.
I couldn't be happier with it. The plan is to rip the whole drivetrain out from fan to diff from this white car Friday afternoon. I will install the full drivetrain off the M50 car.
The donor car has a rebuilt cammed M50, a full euro conversion and coilovers. I'm pretty stoked to see it all come together! Still need to get a couple goodies together for it (like a passenger side smiley low beam assembly and a good radiator.)
Here's a couple pics for now! There will be lots more to come, I'm sure.
