$1200 you get everything in the pictures and more....

The underside of this car is cleaner than my E90... Yes, it is that clean...

I have EVERYTHING you need to get this car going. All that you need to know how to do is fabricate a motor mount adapter and you can have it going in no time!!!

Euro Bumpers, Recaros, etc etc... A GREAT project...

Included for the $1200:

The shell (which has 13" E21 wheels and volvo big brakes in front).
Extra windshield
Recaro seats (sliders too)
Euro Bumpers with extra bumper parts to make a "nice" set
M40 motor
E30 Exhaust, cat back for M40
E21 Exhaust, cat back for M10
All interior tid bits I have - HVAC controls, etc
Tranny for M40
Driveshaft for M40

Basically the car needs to have motor mount adapters fabbed since the M10 that was in it has different mounting points than the M40. Once you fab those mounts and drop the M40 in you should be able to easily bolt up the tranny and then if you play your cards right with the adapters could use the driveshaft unmodified. Otherwise you may have to lengthen or shorten.

I'm also confident that between the two cat back exhaust you could cut and past something in pretty easily.

The only parts I think the car needs to be a DD are: Dynamat, some seat adapters for the passenger recaro (to mount the sliders to), and then some front control arms - the bushings are shot which the front sway goes into and is used for stopping (old cars!) and the control arms can be had at bav for $60 a side (I believe).

And the M10 was pulled and sold. I got the car with not tranny/driveshaft so I ditched the M10 to help fund the project.
