    Anyone parting out an e21 shell?

    I need floor pans, pieces of the trunk and a few other things. W&N is an option but I was hoping to source parts in good shape . In the third coast, rust is rarely an issue but I imagine for most the pieces in seeking are in just as bad shape.

    Just a flier.

    I'm in the doghouse for buying my Baur project still! Man I really feel for you. No chance you can find someone to do it for you for half what you're quoted? You have a great car. I hope you can find a good buyer who is Keen on a manual trans swap or maybe some help to install.

    Either one would be good as far as I'm concerned. But hundreds just to tow it somewhere...

    I have some sheet metal (including much of the floors/trunk) from an '83, although there is some rust and it is not cut up very neatly. Mostly, it would be useful for cutting into smaller patch panels rather than replacing as a complete panel. Do you have pictures of the areas you are trying to fix?

    I have one I can cut pieces off. Just let me know with pictures what parts you need so I can double check there is no rust on mine, since there is rust in spots.

    Thanks guys. Thought I had good pics but I guess they got lost in the cloud...Will get pictures this weekend when I get back to the car. Floor pans are pretty rotted so I'll need a large sheet for those.

    Here is a picture of the trunk floor that I have. I have since cut it more (sides are off, and it is cut between the trunk and rear seat), but this will give you an idea of the condition. I also have some floor pieces for the passenger compartment.

    Check out this post on the BMW2002faq forum: https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/to...omment-1309088

    "E21 trunk floor/ tire well - weld-in - $200"

    I usually check the 2002 forum every now and then for e21 parts and ran across this post.
