Potential buy

Post by Bor » 13 Mar 2016 07:30 pm

We have encountered an '82 343 B19 for sale.

One owner, 138k kms.
It is supposed to be all original, untouched, vgc.

The issue is that it is quite a long way away.

Anyone spot any issues?

Looks brilliant, but you could do with some covers for those strut top nuts (others will know this is my favorite subject ;-).

1991 340 1.7 GL, 64k, 5 door, petrol blue (Deep Blue).
1988 360 2.0 GLE, 140k, 5 door, ocean blue metallic (Blue Bess).

Happy to.
Would like to bolt a cross brace in while at it (if I can find a supplier).
The idea is to fabricate one for the rear struts too.

Looks clean in the engine bay, may be some touched in parts around the battery? Looks like a slightly different green.

Well 3D printing is my favourite subject, what are you prepared to pay? Could do them in stainless or titanium if that would do it for you.

The top covers I will probably mod from red PET bottle caps 8)
In the rear too.

First the car itself though :mrgreen:
