Accident Repair - Strut tower location dimensions

[citterly]

Hi Fellas,

Does anyone have dimensions to relocate the driver's side strut tower for a 1990 325i? I have a car that was involved in a minor accident, the strut tower looks to have been displaced about 1.25".

I'm looking for reference dimensions for left/right, for/aft and even height if available. There are a few body shops around that I might try, but though I would check here as well.

Here are some pics of the damage if that helps:

I'm not looking to make this perfect, the car is going to be used as an ice racer. I'm just looking to cut, bend and weld so that it's close to the original location.

Thanks All
Chris

A diagram definitely exists, I found one for my ix - but I don't have one for a standard E30, sorry.
