Hi guys,

Got my donor car today and I tell ya what, what a gorgeous motor! E34 525i with an M50 engine that's done 200k. Got it for 450 on Ebay for its engine and transmission (Manual and works great). After a good full rebuild, will be good as new!. Question is, when the lumps been yanked out what should I do with the rest of the car?

Break it and wack all the parts (or wheel nut sale) on ebay?

Or

Sell the shell to the bloke who helped get it home (guy from Gumtree with a flatbed) for £150?
