Hope insurance pays up and you're able to retain the salvage.

So a lot of you might know or have heard that I had a fire back in July at my home in the garage, which was caused by an electrical fault in my other Bmw M3.
It was a double garage & im afraid to say the e21 was parked very close to it, I will now let the pictures do the talking.

How I found it.

Image

Image

Image

Yes that was my louvre still on the car. :(

Image

Image

Image

The inside & boot got left off with only a few plastic bits melting & a light dusting of smoke.

Image

I will need a new roof lining though (which I was going to get anyway).

Image

Image

In the daylight it didn't look so bad.

Image

Image

Image

And then a day of steam cleaning it came up even better.

Image

Image

Image

Now the insurance have paid out its all good to go & get the car looking better than ever.

Obviously a full repaint is needed which ive always wanted to do over one winter & now is my chance. :thumbsup

Also as you can see there is a few bits I need so if there is anyone willing to help me out with what I do need I would be very grateful.

1. Rear Bumper
2. Rear Lights
3. Any Chrome for the windows (I do have pop outs for the rear to fit but they also got slightly damaged)
4. Windscreen
5. Windscreen Wipers
5. Side Mouldings
6. Front Indicators
7. Tool Kit Plastic
8. Vent in top of dash
9. Speedo/Instrument Cluster plastic front
10. Roof Lining
11. Interior Light from centre of roof
12. And a set of standard wheels for me to move the car around while the Bbs's get a refurb
13. Probably more bits will be needed as the engine & brakes haven't been checked over yet

Oh yeah & if anyone has another Louvre lying around. :wink:

Any help to find or sell me parts would be much appreciated.

Thanks Ian
