At buttonwillow racetrack yesterday I was tracking and the road was moist from recent drizzle exposure. Long story short, the gravel had turned into mud and a driver had just kicked up mud chunks on the track, and my car flew into the gravel which quickly turned into mud, did a barrel roll in air, hit the passenger side bad, and then continued to flip and tipped the e30 on its side with my face facing the ground. Everything is pretty much beat up. The mtechnicII body kit is in the condition it entered with, but the grill, right and left front fenders are done. along with the hood popped open, glass shattered, back left and right body panels heavily damaged and side mirrors destroyed. No pictures up yet. My question is how much hardwork/time/money goes into replacing almost every panel on an e30

a ton! your probably better off getting another e30 and swaping everything over.
the rear quarters are a pain! you can always replace the fenders, mirrors, glass, etc but the rear quarters are the car more or less. -
pix or it didn't happen.

As monty python might say "that is just a mere flesh wound". This is one reason I do not track my car as accidents do happen. You need to get a shell and swap everything over as that body is toast!The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!Comment

those look like some complex dents, but i'm sure a body shop could pull them. It's whatever damage is underneath that would suck :(
glad you're ok, sorry for the misfortuneComment

I think you can still save that mtech2 kit!! Looks pretty awful though, I'd pick up another E30 and swap everything over. That kinda damage will take more time to repair.IG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here
