Sorry, slightly off topic here though it could arguably have been a future classic. I'm currently scrapping a 100,000 mile 1990 BMW 316i Lux written off due to flood damage and just want to check I'm not wasting anything with potential value. I've stripped it down to rolling wreck status with the intention of listing all the bits on Ebay after Christmas and towing the remains to the scrap metal dealer (6 miles of quiet roads).
What's eating me though, is the thought that the gearbox, diff or something might be worth saving. I could put together a power steering "kit" of rack, pump, pulley, pipework for example, but that would mean having to chop up the immobilised shell to trailer away. This is something I've done before but would only want to do again if it was really worth it. So what are the panel's thoughts? TIA, as usual.
