It's acceptable to move everything to a new shell in the case of Alpina's... It's been done a few times (present company included.)
that being said, if anyone does come across a fairly clean/rust free/straight 1984 2 door shell, let me know. The next step for me is a full rotisserie resto..1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

I would have been better off starting with a clean running e30, which I can get for a couple grand, and parting it out myself. Sure, I have to fix some rust and some body damage, but I'll get to have a unique e30. No one else is going to have a wide v8 lazurblau e30 meant for crushing mountain passes. That will be my car.

exclusive is cool and shitDumpster Fire Pilot

They are just the kind that come with pretty much any coilover kit - sit on the spring perch and have an adjuster. I don't use them on the racecar (becauseRaceCar) so I had an extra set just sitting around that I gave Seth. Looks like it worked good, and really does make the car sit a little better.
If you look/ask around, I'm sure someone else may have an extra set floating around for cheap or free.
