1985 BMW E30 Baur TC2 Project: Baur Parts Old & New + Restored Shell & Suspension + Upgrades

Selling my 1985 E30 Baur restoration project. All reasonable offers will be considered. This was never intended to be a flip. The plan was always to keep it in the family, which is why I spent the time doing things the way I did. Unfortunately, too many projects and not enough years left to finish them all.

BODYWORK:

The car has undergone extensive rust repair and metalwork. I performed the welding myself. I am not a professional body man or welder, and I am not claiming body-shop quality work. What I can say is that every repair was done with the intention of building a solid long-term car, not covering things up for resale.

~ All repaired areas were stripped, treated, sealed with POR-15, and protected.
~ Rust-prone areas on the underside were coated with POR-15 and then undercoated with the POR15 undercoat.
~ The engine bay was de-rusted, POR15 coated, and then POR15 Top-Coat.
~ The interior floor and repaired areas were also treated with POR-15 before receiving sound deadening material.
~ The shell was primed, leveled and block sanded.

It is now at or near the point where it needs final bodywork details, primer sealer, and paint preparation. The major rust repair phase is behind it. New steel was welded in. The POR15 has stood up to 5+ years sitting in a warehouse without even a blemish. IMPORTANT: Miles are estimated. The car was non-operative when I purchased it decades ago.

INCLUDED:

* Original Baur roof mechanisms
* Powdercoated subframes
* Powdercoated swing arms
* Never-installed professional replacement convertible top manufactured in the UK specifically for the Baur
* DTMFiberworks fenders (primed and blocked sanded)
* Suspension Techniques sway bar set
* Garagistic steering upgrade
* Three large boxes of OEM e30 parts removed from the car. (Too many OEM parts to mention)
* Transmission for an e30 4-cyl
* All four side windows (no windshield)
* Side skirts fitted, sanded, and primed
* Hood, doors, and major body panels block sanded and fitted to the car

NOT INCLUDED: This is NOT a complete set. Many parts are throwaway parts, such as the dashboard.

* Windshield
* Engine
* Strut towers or springs
* bumpers or front skirt
* Title (Florida title was lost decades ago during a hurricane; car was purchased in the early 2000s and never returned to the road)

This is not a finished restoration. It is not a perfect shell. What it is, is a rare E30 Baur that has had an enormous amount of labor invested into saving it. I'd rather see it go to someone who appreciates what it is and finishes it than let it sit another decade.

Happy to discuss the work that has been completed.

PRICE: Negotiable. Any reasonable offer will be considered. Low-ballers will simply be brutally mocked. :)

PAYMENT: Cash or Bank Transfer. (Shipped/Released after money clears if transfer)

SHIPPING: I will gladly crate and ship for 15% additional to the cost of freight + insurance + $175 per crate. I work with a very affordable freight company. I am glad to coordinate with your freight/moving company as well.
