Is it just me or does that seem like a very easy fix?? A back door, surely that would be fairly simple to come across with the right contacts. Of course that doesn't say for the condition of the rest of the car. Needs a back box, again not too tricky. Hey, a red E23 that's still red - surely something worth saving?!! If I didn't have so many projects on my plate I would seriously consider it. 

looks very orange to me. its different with that lsd and manual box. good buy for someone, i wouldent like to try and match that colour. you would have to spray one full side of the car to get that colour blended in....

thats the trouble with some old cars, depending what colour it is its somtimes hard to match the paint. this one is going to be a pig, as its not matalic, its a solid base colour...

cool idea.

 

thats just how VW used to build the Harlequin Polos - build normal cars, then swap the panels around to make Harlequins - weird!

Flat paint is ease to bring back because  it has no lacker so you can cut the old dead paint off unlike lacked cars, mines had paint in the past and you can't see, good way to tell is by looking at the door shuts. mat paint is by far the  werse  as you will never get as good a mach as you can with flat paint.

you what???? testing testing.

Doive, fly down to Gatwick, rail stn right in the airport, fast train to Brighton, seller to meet you at Bton Stn - easy!

A red manual 735i is extremely rare. so much faster than the usual ZF slushbox.

don;t let this car go to the banger circuit

Hmmm. It would increase my BMW fleet to two, but my overall car fleet to five. I currently have space at the flat for two cars and I'm running out of friendly driveways I can borrow! Somebody closer can save this one surely?! I'd love to but don't have the facilities. I saw one of these being banger raced a few years back.... haven't been to a banger race since.

I'm trying to entice people to bid on it who have more resources than I do.... no space, no money. The poor old girl would get pushed to the back of a shed somewhere and forgotten about until my E28-inflicted overdraft had cleared a bit. All I'm saying is that surely the problems would be easily sorted, making her the ideal project for someone who fancies an old e23?! There must be someone on the forum who would take her on.

Nothing wrong with saving a scrapped car! I snatched mine literally from the forks of the yard forklift, they were planning to move her round to the 'parts' section later that day. So surely someone out there will see that old e23 right, save yet another one from a painful end in a breakers yard.
