Interesting Junkyard Find..

Yea, I believe that is the same guy.

Isn't it the guy who built the S54 TT 2002 who "helped" him with the work?

^I think the simplest answer is the most likely one. Bump steer into a corolla.

Also, in a past thread, someone knew his situation there - this is what I gleamed off of them :

He wasn't do the work himself. He had some neighbor that lived right down the street that was some retired BMW mechanic. It sounded like he was picking up work from japandrew for a while, and encouraging him to spend more money on the car. His parents (who were footing the bill) got taken for quite a ride. You combine one OCD kid, an out-of-work mechanic, and sucker parents, and apparently you get a perfect storm.

It's this mechanic "friend of the family" that did the brunt of the work. All the cleaning was JapA's doing, and the parents cut the checks.

Perhaps he was involved in a hit and run and doesnt want to incriminate himself ?

You can just save the image on the from the forum to your desktop and view the details.

Looks like "they" used the same camera too comparing the same exif data, that's him for sure.

Good investigative sleuthing gentlemen. Impatiently waiting for "the rest of the story", to quote Paul Harvey.

Tough break. I really liked that car for it's clean super stock look. Damage doesn't seem that bad but then again, to the insurance it's just an 84 318i.

Wonder if those "period correct look" engine mounts gave way...

Somebody should find his email and tell him to come on and let everyone know what went on.
