anyone need e3 sheet metal cuts?

[davekillen]

A friend and I recently dragged home a thoroughly trashed Bavaria (it's not savable, I promise) that we'll be cutting up after pulling everything we can use. Does anyone need sheet metal? The car has good front fenders, a decent hood, decent doors (some better than others), and a seemingly good roof. C-pillars, floors, and trunk lid are shot. I can post some photos if there's any interest.

Hi!
Could I ask for some photos of the hood, front fenders, and rear end?
I'm starting to build an E3 that has all its lights modified and a very rusty hood.
I don't know if you could also show me the chassis reinforcements.

Thanks!

Hi, it's pouring rain where I am now and the car is in a tent-style carport that makes photos difficult in the low light, so I'll have to wait to get you specifics, but here are a couple from when I picked it up if they help at all. What do you mean by chassis reinforcements? If you're referring to the frame rails, I'm afraid they're pretty well shot.

The hood is pretty decent, some relatively minor rust on the underside. I'll get better and more specific photos once the weather clears up here in a few days. The fenders seem good, as does the rear end with the exception of the trunk lid.

Hi Dave,
It looks pretty solid. I'll wait for better weather to see those photos. My E3 isn't that rusty, except for the hood, which is wrecked at the bottom, and the frame rails.
I was asking about the front fenders and the rear section because on mine, they went to the trouble of adapting E23 taillights and covering the front turn signal holes to replace the bumper with an E12 one. I don't know if it was to "modernize" the car, or because they couldn't find or import parts back then. It's a very rare car in my country.
My idea is to use older taillights, which are longer, so I understand your rear section wouldn't work for me.

Regarding the front fenders and hood, I'd like to see them in more detail, but perhaps because of shipping costs to Argentina, I'd prefer to order the pieces I need rather than the complete parts. I'm not sure how convenient that would be for you, though. The parts look to be in very good condition. I don't know if you also sell parts like the front bumper or the front turn signal housings.

I'm sending you photos of my project so you can better understand what I'm talking about.

Regards, Lean
