Rare E36 estate (W124) but needs work

[GP801]

Good on you. It will make an interesting project thread. What sort of state is it really in?

... a few informative pictures would cure a lot of the speculation rife on here during the sale.

Thanks.

I bought the e36

Congrats, well done, respect etc. Delighted to know the car is in good hands & going to be saved.

Looking forward to seeing a progress thread.

Just thought I'd see if there were any posts on amg bumpers. I bought the car then have been working in ghana for last 8 months. It is in professional storage and I really need to get on and start sorting the thing out. Biggest thing is the front bumper. Anyone know where to start looking (apart from mb uk!)

First thing, search on ebay and save it, you never know maybe an enthusiast will one day want to downsize a collection.
Keep checking the forums
ebay.de and google translator!

I must say I am looking forward to seeing this progress!
Nice one for taking it on!

Have you seen any others for sale of late hence why he can ask the price and it'll still sell.It might take a while but it will sell

Guessed it might be the case. A lot of cash for used plastic still but if you need it!

Quite often is easier and cheaper to buy a whole car just for certain rare parts and then brake as many people on here will testify

Good point ... An SL sold for £800 the other day and recently saw a used sun visor for sale for £125! If there isnt money in that ?!

Have been looking for a spares car myself but no luck. Had one come up with mint mushroom seats and a working roof controller I would have gone for it.

I'd buy the spoiler on ebay and then take a mould from it.

You can get replica's fairly cheap, wouldn't be worth making your own.
A good stop gap to tidy the car and get it on the road until you find the right one maybe!
Using genuine AMG is going to be more expensive but will be worth it, looks wise and resale wise!
