OK – So far, here is the running tab as of this date, 12/5.
Not including the car, this is what I have sitting in my kitchen, or enroute.
USED: $964.97
- L & R xenon assemblies with corner lights - $450.00 (Ebay)
- Radiator support and pusher fan - $199.95 (Ebay)
- AC Condenser - $49.90 (Ebay)
- Airbox and MAF (Botond is going to cry) - $135.00 (Ebay)
- Air Conditioning Lines – $130.12 (Ebay)
NEW: $1,018.15
- L & R Headlight trim and fender liners - $136.21 (Guten)
- Radiator Shroud and mounting gear - $297.38 (Turner)
- Coolant Expansion Tank, OFHG, VCG, VANOS oil line, filter, etc - $493.76 (Turner)
- Headlight trim (L & R) - $90.80 (Ebay)
OUTSTANDING (assuming buying new and at street prices, as I am hoping to bring down the spend on the hood and bumper cover by finding used): $3,750.00
Hood and assorted bits, bumper cover and assorted bits, headlight eyebrows, tires, Beisan VANOS stuff (priority B), cooling system overhaul kit, mirror repair, odds and ends (trim and attachment hardware)
Overall, this is right where I expected to land with respect to parts. Even adding in a Priority B VANOS gear… Now, all I have to do is beg, borrow, steal and negotiate for the little body work (fender) and paint… Furthermore, in the grand scheme of things, I am rationalizing some of the gear as not part of the "rebuild" (e.g.: Cooling Overhaul Kit and oil gaskets) as if I bought an M3 off the street, all those things would have to be done, anyway. At least, that helps me sleep better at night.
Looks like this is going to be a fun rebuild. Reading through this, I see many similarities that I did years ago.

I'm sure you'll find a lot of this is easy to reassemble.... looking forward to seeing progress once you start Ray! :thumbsup
