i'd bang it out with a hammer and just drive it as is ;)

Damn, that poor thing is hurting. Best of luck to what you decide to do.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss but keep in mind it's just a car, an old one at that. Since you don't have tools, space, and experience sell it as a parts car get back what you can out of it and get something else. Don't bother building a new car out of two, just buy a good solid car that can get you from a to b. Mistakes happen but don't make another one by claiming this on your insurance as you'll be paying for it for years to come.

find another POS and swap everything over. Its totaled.

Looks like you'll hav euro bumpers without the reflectors sooner then you thought.

Agreed. That car is toast. Get a straight shell and get to work.

I know where there is a straight M3 shell less than an hour from you. And it is cheap. I don't know if you would want to do that, but it is an option.

There should be an E30 obituary sub-forum here...:idea:

Hey Tom,

That really sucks. Can anyone say PROJECT CAR? Get a shell and have some fun.

We had one on E3S back in the day, I think it should be brought back.

So guys,

Im saving up money for a mint early model e30 shell. If any one knows of any close to portland or anywhere in PNW, please feel free to pm me.

I also plan on either keeping the 323i shell or selling it back to david lumbra( probly what will happen). That way he can store and and hopefully eventually fix that shell, cause godamn it was straight and probly the oldest e30 in the usa.... I dont want my bad luck to ruin it.


I plan on swapping all the drivetrain and suspension into my new e30 shell. Im gonna need alot of help, cause I lack the proper tools and knowhow... so if people wanna get paid in good food and beer, I will be having a meet at my house in a month most likely. I have room for about 6 E30's in my driveway.... now taking biiders ;)

dooo it... just swap everything you need into the M3 shell (might look funny for a while if you have to use regular E30 fenders, haha), and have a nicer platform to start with. :)

hmm, 4 lug M3...

Get an early 318 shell... it'll be the lightest you can find.
