    hit & run on my IX

    :(

    went to a keg party(emptied that bish!) parked on the side of the road..practically IN a ditch to keep it out of the way..and FAR from the party...
    cabbed it to the bar....had a good night;) so I came back this morning to pick her up...and

    first I thought someone just hit the mirror off...no big deal..then I noticed the 'flat tire'...and FINALLY realised...the entire wheel was totalled-along with the front bumper/fog lights etc--the car is just hangin by a thread-everything ripped out of place..........there were skid marks down the street and in the ditch(after he hit my car)
    not sure what to do...

    pics added :O
    trying photobucket...

      by yourself?

      bummer about the wreck, man.

      Any structural damage?

      Hope to see it all purdy again.

              thnx for the e30 luv guys

              she was in rough shape..needed new paint and body work...which I was going to do this summer..my cousin used to own a body shop..still has the shop..but just does it for fun now..will give me a 5g job for a grand(was thinking gunmetal or avus blue...)
              ...if I paint him a mural for his kids room---

              I have the plastic bumpers on a donor car in the garage for the bumper swap...

              yup..called the cops...filed a report..towed to the garage for an estimate for my insurance...

              so, I'm probably just going to shop around for another car...keep this one for parts maybe? and pick up another e30? 2 parts cars now..lol

              oh..doing the photobucket thing..as soon as my dsl stops acting like it's 56k...thanks Cogeco..

                    the body damage isn't too bad, but that suspension would cost you. I like how the CV axle is wrapped around the subframe..

                          They must have hit your car hard as shit the do that to the rim, and is the control arm twisted? If it is then shiiiiiit. Their car must have been f'ed up too.

                            ok..got some info on that dead 318


                            been sitting in the same spot since december, mechanic says it'll need new brakes, shocks?(i think) etc..since everything will be ceased up


                            so..still 500?? body is in good shape..i'll take a look underneath and in the usual spots for rust...

                            plus he didn't buy the car..it was abandoned there after the owner heard the engine was dead...so..now that its way past 3months he's entitled to go to the DMV and claim ownership...therefore..he spent nothing to get it..(well..he paid 60bucks to get it towed and it'll be 80 for the new ownership according to him)


                            um..so how much guys? asap please! i need a car! engine swap this weekend if all works out :)
                            plus new rad...maybe new suspension for the heavier engine??
