        If someone would be willing to take it off my hands for $1500, I'd be happy to sell.

        No 13 button OBC, sorry.

        Here are some pictures of the damage:





        Right now I'm just working on getting everything squared away with state farm and the DMV. I'm not sure what the procedure for selling a salvaged is, seeing as it won't have any plates or registration. Do people just get the car towed?

          dude that is a super easy fix..if you know someone with a welder.
          just cut off the old rad support and weld in a new one.
          The frame isnt even bent.
          Madness if they give it a salvage title..

          I wish I still had the photos of a car I did that was a shit load worse then that...

          This is the only after pic that I have.




          FIX IT!!!!!!!!!

            If you decide to part the car out yourself then I would be interested in purchasing the trunk. I also have a spare alpinewhite2 trunk I can give you to keep the car looking complete but it has a dent.

              Srsly fix the damn thing, itll be worth it. even if it is a salvage..

              Dont pull the plug on a fixable e30. At that rate e30's will drop like flies.

              Sorry to hear man, damn deers.

                Ive been trying to make that exact same decision for a while. I also have a totaled alpine 318is with pretty much the same parts. I'm probably going to part mine out as I'm having trouble finding a buyer for the whole car.

                Your car looks pretty fixable though, with a trip to the junkyard and a winch you could have the front end back together in an afternoon. Ive done it before.

                  take your inspiration from this: just fix it (go to about 4:20 left into the vid)

                    This seems rather fixable. A rear end, as I found out, is not easily fixed. :(

                      That sucks, but isn't that bad. It's fixable for sure though.

                        Do not part it, sell it as a whole.

                        If I had the $$ Id be buying my old car back.....

                            That's totally fixable. Replace hood, left fender, weld in new rad support. Find a friend with a welder to do the rad support if you can't do it. The lower valence isn't even dented! You can probably do all the repairs for under $1000 including professional paint.

                              How many miles are on it?

                              And the damage is not bad especially for someone with used parts and mechanical knowledge.

                              I would fix it in 3days tops, and give it a wax.
