UK Restored Rust free E30 Touring polybushed shell m42 318is

Hi
This is on ebay now for £1 I just need it out the way. Hence it is a complete bargain.
 It is a restored rot free e30 touring -non runner. 18months/2 years ago I cut all the rust out and welded in new steel. All tourings are rotten in the rear quarters these days, people just dont check them. This used to be my daily driver and twice a year it was my nurburgring car. It was brilliant but my circumstances have changed and I now have to sell it.

It has a nice clean interior with good headliner. Electric windows and sunroof. It can come with the original driver seat (which is in excellent condition) or the orange recliner bucket seat. It  has an e36 quick rack (PAS) conversion. It has eibach springs -35mm/-25mm iirc front/rear. I have rolled the rear arches to fit the 7" wide wheels it had. The whole shell is poly bushed including rear beam/body mount which requires a special BMW tool. Front end is m3 eccentric spec. Ferodo ds2500 pads all round. It has a brand new fuel tank and all brake lines above fuel tank were replaced at the same time. It has an IS front lip.

 It is still fitted with a 318is M42 engine with all ancillaries including a brand new IS radiator and a proper IS cowl. However it is a non runner and needs a new engine/rebuild, it has good compression but is blowing smoke out the exhaust and blowing oil out the breathers. There is no ECU now, it was chipped and sold for good money a standard replacement is £30 from my local BMW Spares at Charing.

There is surface blemishes in the usual place on the rear tailgate. This one is a good one and could be sorted to good as new if you remove the rear window to treat it.

It is on steelies now but I still have the MIMs 1900 alloys for it, which are for sale seperately. It is now fitted a 4.27 open diff, but I am also selling the 4.27 Limited slip diff. I have a standard mild steel exhaust for it with a stainless back box. I am also selling a full powerflow stainless exhaust system, front and rear strut braces, se side skirts etc. If you want any of these parts when buying the car they will be discounted heavily.

I just cannot bring myself to scrap such a good shell, hence the £1 start price and no reserve!

Item is located in Deal Kent CT14 9QB. It will need to be trailered away.

I have NEVER seen one of these on the roads or during my travels all over the East Coast. They had one on BBC's 'Wheeler Dealers' and I thought to myself... Holy moleys they made an e30 wagon?! :)
