SOT - WTB e30 struts/strut mounts/shocks

[bjbarbieri]

Hi guys,

I have a 1967 BMW 2000 tilux that I'm restoring. Some parts are hard to find, and very expensive when you can find them. Strut inserts, mounts, and shocks are just some of them. I have read of a few instances where people with Neue Klasse cars have replaced very expensive shocks and struts with very inexpensive and readily available shocks and struts from an e30. I believe the strut mounts/bearings will fit as well. Replacement strut bearings alone for the '67 2000 are almost 200.00 each.

Because some of this is theory/experimentation/engineering, I don't want to spend all the money on the world on these items. If someone has an e30 they are parting out and would be willing to sell them at a good price I would be interested. If someone has a set that is toast and would be willing to donate or sell for dirt cheap to my project for fitment testing, I would be ok with that too. Once I verify that it's possible, I can buy new pieces.

I am in Akron, Ohio, 44320 for shipping estimates...

Thanks in advance,

BJ
