Yup, send me a PM, i have restored 2 and process of another restoration of a 325iS.

An original shadowline is worth the time and effort.:inlove::inlove:

That's not a shadowline , I don't think it is cause it has chrome bumper rear lights ?

Yes it is mobile and I got it for 15 grand.

Good price but looks like you lots of work to get it back to orignal all those small bits and pieces are going to cost you

Chromies were the original shadowlines and IMO worth more. They had the most awesome front lip! This is my friends:

Does yours still have the front lip? They are near impossible to find, even fibreglass ones are non existent. Thats a bargain price I think! and in the right color! any mechanical problems?

Looks like it has some weird 333i kit on it, is it fibreglass or plastic? show as some pics of the front

 

[Karthik]

Psymon thanks for that :thumbs: Learn something new everyday but the condition of that car is bad :thumbdo:

Looks like this is going to be an interesting build/restore. Keep the pics and updates coming as you progress :thumbs:

 

[kugs330]

:nonono: Hope the guy is giving you all the missing stuff looks like the passenger door is missing bonnets out exhaust is on the ground and he doesnt show you the left hand side of the car it could be wrecked :sorry: try and drop him with the price when you picking it up :thumbs:

 

[Psymon69]

ive seen worse. For 15k you cant exactly expect a gem... If the mechanicals are tip top then its easily salvageable I think

 

[Peter@AEW]

The price is correct for the condition imho.

A lot of work yes.....but worth it .

Good luck with the resto.
