    Default getting a crashed E34 M5 in a few days

    I originally planned to buy this wreck to take all the parts as spares for my car, now I'm going to investigate rebuilding it as a track car as it appears to be rebuildable. You can find pictures of it here:

    $2500 Canadian

    The owner can buy it from the insurance co. for $1500 and I know he wants to make $1K on it. He only had it 3 months and bought it from a friend of mine who is a mechanic at a garage that services mainly Porsche, Lotus and Ferraris. My friend had it 3 years and probably drove it less than 10,000 km in that time. I know that it was in mechanically perfect condition when he sold it. I even brought in an Ireland Engineering big brake kit for him 2 years back. He just used it at the track a few times, otherwise it was in his garage.
    The new owner bought it in December and his wife crashed it in late April.

    Poor old Gal....

    That first frontal image is a little nauseating.

    Hope you can resurrect her.

    Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(

    And then...

    Winfred,

    the motor is not for sale as I need to keep a spare here in case mine has any problems. When I first thought of just storing all the parts till I needed them, I was thinking of sending the motor to Metric Mechanic to get the 4.0l treatment but if this is rebuildable I think I'll make a track car. A motor like that is worth no less than 5K up here. It's very hard to find one and so I want to keep it in case I need one myself.

    By the way I mentioned I was thinking (dreaming) of sending the motor to MM to make a 4.0l s38, I didn't win the lottery yet but since I have started making some special chips for their motors recently, they told me they would help me out when I need a motor.

    Default Wonder if those winter tires helped.

    You looking to make some money on the sport seats? I'm looking for black leather, preferrably manual, sport seats.
