My guess would be another R8 since he bought a whole shell...

Lame, swap it into an e30.  If he was swapping into the same car why would he need a whole crashed car?  If I was swapping into something else I would buy a whole crashed car to make sure i had everything.

Cheap E30 with a blown motor but has some interesting parts on it. (sideskirts)

1200 for a rusted out shell?  It would be one thing if it was clean and needed mechanical work.  I'd pay no more than 300$.  Would be a fun beater that you wouldn't worry about door dings.

Agreed on some interesting parts, but from the pics and the brief video better to buy really cheap and part out: the armrest, cluster, hood, wheels, bumpers, lip, door cards with tweeters(?), sport seats, small bits, etc.

From the quick video the rust looks too deep into the rockers to be worth dropping another engine into it.

I should say that I had people contact me from across the pond when I posted a husco armrest for sale.  And it was only posted on WiBimmers.

[Jdesign]

That's what I mean. I would say its worth buying, taking the nice bits, and pawning it off after doing so. But yeah, the car itself is toast.

gosh, there is not much worth saving on the car. every panel is bad except the rear bumper! seats are trashed, dash is cracked, cluster is ebay yuckness, speakers hacked into the door panels, airbag wheel, crappy tint on all the glass, ebay taillights, broken volvo lip, sealed beams, blown engine, missing window trim. @jc43089 is on the money, $300 max.

And he'll never feel bad about it.  Just give a sly smile and reply with a long drawn out "yeaaaaa"

I wonder why he failed to mention the Startecs. That's a pretty spendy set of tail lights lol
