so eventually i plan on doing a restoration on my American spec 280i 1986 S2
And a frame is available to me at no cost ,i just need to collect it .
my question is how much does the frame weigh?
i’m guessing it may be slightly different, as the body is probably a few year older.
but i will see if i can find a vin number as this is another wedge gone for good unfortunately

I seem to remember moving a chassis from a trailer into the back of a van and it wasn't particularly heavy for two people, so probably around 100Kg or so.

I collected one on the roof rack of a VW Passat on the way back from holiday one year if that helps?

lol 😂 VW roof rack
i got it home yesterday, in the back of my truck , very pleased as it fitted right in , over hung a bit .. little surface rust but solid, mine is snapped in one area near the radiator…. hopefully they ain’t to much difference?
i was offered the body but didn’t need it , free
any one state side reading this it’s in CT
