Not not BMW related but I swapped the cab on my truck today. It no longer has a salvage title and I've still spent less then $1000 on it. 1996 Chevy 1500 4x4 with a clean title $500, totaled by insurance = check for $3,500, 1996 GMC 1500 4x4 cab with clean title = $350. Total profit? New truck and I spent about $2,000 of free money on the e30. New stereo, tires, oil change, trim pieces, lip, led bulbs, renown steering wheel, shift boot, and quite a few things I can't remeber.
Now here's pics of the cab swap. I didn't get a photo of the new cab on as it was dark by the time we finished for the day.
What the truck looked like the day I bought it in November before my insurance "totaled" it for some cosmetic damage.

Also, this is today. Come party!

For 3 years I dealt with the squeak and creak of my rear end assuming it's the poly trailing arm bushings; just replaced my old rear sway links and the noise is gone.
It was making the same noise when I was muscling the links off my sway bar.
Dammit I wish I replaced them sooner. The noise was so annoying.
