E36 M3 Barn Find

A mate contacted me yesterday about a car that someone has had in a barn in Laois for the last 6 years and wanted rid of. I was unsure what to think and what it may be like but I agreed to head down tonight and have a quick look anyway. I arrived there about 6pm this evening and was surprised what I found. The car has a one or two bits of bodywork that need looking at but other than that the car and interior is mint.

We chatted and needless to say I done a deal with him and trailered the car back to Dublin tonight.

Here are a few photo's of how it stands now, I will start tomorrow by giving it a clean

I believe someone is a lucky duck. It's in good hands.

thats some amount of shit......................stuck on the paintwork :P This could be a very interesting thread, subscribed, dont forget to take lots of pictures :cool:

great find, look forward to seeing how this turns out :)

Great stuff Martin - cant wait to see what lies beneath the pidgeon muck !!!

Cant see any pics, but very interested to!

Good to see another being rescued. What's the plans Martin?

Is it weird, that id just love to wash it, nothing more. Just wash it and stand back and admire my work.

You're not on your own there:rolleyes::blush:

Nice one Martin!! Good purchase!!

It'll probably clean up reasonably well...though it will need a good machine polish to get the etching out of the clear coat! Would also love to give it a good clean! :p

There is probably a shorter list of people who don't want to wash it than do :D

Very nice find. What are the plans for it?

Not sure what to do with it, by the time you vrt it and fix the few bits would not be really worth selling it. I will make more money breaking it to tell you the truth, it a sign of the times in Ireland with big engined cars sadly

Ah don't break it! The vultures are circling already at the mention of that! Too many being broken. Would normally say track it but you've well and truely done that before.

Great find Martin would happily join the que to wash it also. That would be sheer satisfaction :).

Best of luck with it either way.

Ive Been looking for a Alcantara interior if your breaking it and it has one

might no someone interested in it complete if your willing to sell

have a few people interested in the car complete but really money talks hence why we are thinking of breaking it. I just want the pleasure of washing it first and then I will take it from there

holy shit :D:D

Would love to get my hands on that...

Oh yea theres hours of fun to be had detailing that....

Ok we eventually got to the car today and got it running and give it a quick clean

The car is up for sale before we break it so if anyone wants more info or is interested offers by pm please only

Martin
