Hey there i have a 323i which i am going to have a go at restoring and i also have two 318i's that i was thinking i should part out as they have a little bit too much rust for my liking, what does everybody think would be a good idea for me to keep/sell off the 318i's?

Not much that can be used, engine and driveline are different, so is front suspension and brakes f/r. What does that leave? Perhaps some body parts are better than on the 323i but what I read the 4 cil cars have rust too? What you may need... doors, bonnet, front wings, steering rack, interior parts, bumpers? Think I'd keep at least one as a parts donor as long as you're busy restoring the 323i. There are always small bits 'n pieces you need!
