    Going to junkyard to get body parts, what tools to bring?

    I'll potentially be getting the front/rear/sides from a 92 vert, mtech 2 stuff I believe. Other than stands, a jack, socket set, hex set, and basic stuff any specialty tools I need to take to get this stuff off?

    I'm new to the 30 but had 7+ E36's and have done the front/rear bumpers on my M3's so I'm assuming it'll be similar, just more worried about the sideskirts. I figured I'd get the side up and look for any visible fasteners and remove them and there are probably plastic pop rivets up top where the molding would go mid door, that sound about right?

    Id bring a hammer. just in case. maybe something to cut stuff with. You never know how stubborn parts can be.
    Just throwing that out there
    I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

        Definitely bring a standard set of allen wrenches if you don't have a torx set because one of the standard sizes works in the torx bit for the bumper shock on plastic bumper cars. For side skirts, I would recommend bringing a drill just in case the screws (if they use them, I'm not sure) are super corroded like the ones on my friend's iX...

        Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.
