[mr2peak]

If you were in SF I'd buy your swap

[illest318i]

It ain't even that bad tho!




On a more serious note, looks like it's fixable. Good luck.

Only have liability so gotta pay out of pocket.

Did you get a citation on 'failure to avoid impact'?

I would fix it.

[10Toes]

Pull off the broken parts and see how bad it really is. that looks like it can be fixed

edit: side note, how did you like your setup? mine will be very similar except I will be a lot lighter than you, but powerwise we are almost exactly the same

About 2% less weight over the whole car isn't that big of a difference you won't wouldn't even feel the difference if you added 50 lbs into the engine bay.

[10Toes]

Fix it.

This, it dosen't look that bad.

[Cephas]

Fix it.

parts car, transplant rad support/straighten surroundings, transfer body panels, paint.

Agreed. Look on here for parts or go to your local u pull it.

Looks like a pretty easy fix.

First off all not sure where to put this so please move as necessary.

So front of my e30 met the back of a tractor trailer yesterday pic attached.

Issue is i just wanted to see what yall would do in this situation. Only have liability so gotta pay out of pocket. Basically pushed in the upper core support/radiator into engine busted up radiator/hood/fenders/twisted part of the valance. Still is easily driveable except for the radiator. Ran great.

Options
-Cut out upper core support weld in new one and new valance replace all parts painted
-Part it out
-Sell as is
