^lol definitely what you should do.

[Conki]

man, most of the r3v accidents occur in CA. says something!

That the most populated state is CA?

That really sucks. Good luck with fixing it, dunno whats all in your car but maybe best to start with a new one(maybe with a haggard interior, or whatever your car had that was really good bad on the other one). Next time maybe be more cautious, if you hadn't been following so closely you probably wouldn't have hit that car. Just take responsibility and say fuck it, everyone makes mistakes.

edited should have punched him in the jeans for saying something stupid like i dont want to get a yellow light.

wasnt to close to the tahoe.. he just sped up to cut me off. and continued straight as soon as he saw the other car. leaving me with a surprise as soon as he moved out of my way completely..
but yup gotta start with a diff car

Fix the radiator and drive it around with a flash light taped where the headlights were...
^I have actualy seen people do that.

Hahahahaha, my older brother did that in the 80's, got pulled over by the FUZZ then they
had him park the car and walk home. After the police where far enough, we went back to keep driving that piece of shit of a car.............lol, ahh the 80's where such innocent times.

OP. I think your S-O-L with your car but fuck it, just cut your loses and look for another e30.

Hey the bonus to this is that you can grab the flash light so you can see on your walk home.

Don't fret man, in the mean time get with Lifestyle 101, hit a few junkyards hard for what you need and put some elbow grease into getting it fixed instead, 'cause a tow truck from San Diego to San Fernando is gonna be pretty pricey!

[e34john]

Get it working then deal with the cosmetic stuff later. I had a Gorilla taped fender, bumper and grill for months, waiting for someone with a black car to get r3ved from behind so I can get a new front end on the cheap.

BTW wheres the guy with the roller? I'm sure the neighbors won't care if I add another POS to the view outside their window.

[bimmer_E30]

if you love your car, u can do it.

i did the same thing and re-did the whole front end on my old 325e.

You'll need: Radiator suppor, Radiator, Headlights, Valance, Hooda, Grills. also Make sure you Replace the Engine Mount/ Tranny mounts while you're at it. since the car been in an accident it's possilbe that the engine has slightly moved or shifted to one side, so replacing the Mounts is a good thing.

Let me know if you need any help.

well someone said they owed my uncle money, and they work in a body shop. but i dont know if trying to manipulate the radiator support is going to be better than get a new one? any ideas how much it would go for? and if its bult on or welds?????

yeah ill ask lifestyle101 if hes willing to help me out. because m3maker told me there was a better place than pick a part..so maybe go there

There is much greatness in this thread.

Keep up the good work OP. Fix your car though. Don't trash another perfectly good E30.

[nando]

that's not too bad. new core support, fender, hood, lights etc. and it'll be good as new. completely missed the bumper?

new ones were around $150 when I did mine. if you can find a good clean used one that works too.

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

yea i dont want to waste this car...anyone in the area want to come check it out.and myabe give me a heads up on were to go????

[slow e30]

That the most populated state is CA?

No. i think the city with most e30's is philly or the PNW region.

california cant exactly be populated by so many people, hell, most are illegals.
