My first e30

[Tyler_e30]

got some exhaust work done today. I couldnt believe the exhaust before the muffler was only 1.75" pipe.lol I just took a 2-2.5" adapter directly to a 2.5-3"adapter and then like 3ft of 3inch after that out the back on each pipe. sounds really good. will post pics soon and hopefully a link to a video

If you are painting the trunk lid, you should get your hands on a coupe trunklid. They dont have that ugly 3rd brake light

yeah I thought about that. not sure if im going to keep it or not yet

[Tyler_e30]

well i went to the wiz khalifa concert the other night and while leaving, i was involved in a hit and run. insurance wont cover it because i didnt get a plate number. but yeah this fucking sucks. not sure what to do now.

[Tyler_e30]

so the next day i just started beating it out. trying to fix it myself.






after a few hours with a sledge hammer and a 2x4 this is the outcome. i cant go any further until i figure out how to pull out that quarter. but i whent to a guy that my mom whent to highschool with who pains and does body work. he said itd be every bit of 3 grand to fix. BUT if i do the work (obviously he would help) it would be half the price since he wouldnt have to pay his guys to work on it. which i think would be awesome because i would love to have that experience. ive never done any body work before so this will be a good learning curve for me. and hell paint it too but thatll be a different price.

Wow man

That sucks big time.. I know it's not what you might want to hear, but at this point it might be best to cut the losses and find another platform. That rear quarter is absolutely accordion'd

However, you can still save it if you want to get yourself dirty with cut and weld

[Tyler_e30]

but i did get it drivable and threw a little vinyl on the back to show just how much i love my insurance company.

yeah i think ill be able to cut it out, straighten it and then put it back on. or go to the junk yard and have some fun with a sawzall and throw it on. not as easy as i made it sound but that might be what ill have to do

My first e30

Easier said than done, but I'm all for people saving e30s after crashes. You might have to find a donor; I would think that damage is too far gone to be fixed without heaps of filler

I smashed my front end and fixed it myself last year with some cut and weld. Most people can't believe how badly it was damaged after seeing it restored in person.

Get crackin' ;D

[Tyler_e30]

wow thats awesome man. this guy is really good so hopefully we can get it to where you cant tell. i want to fix it. i dont want to get another one. i might for a donor though like you mentioned

[Tyler_e30]

got a quote today for $1000 to straighten it out and then another $500 to paint the back. but i might as well get the whole car painted.im dropping it off tuesday and he said he could get it done by street life tour in Xenia, OH. which is good

[ThatOneEuroE30]

That's a good ass deal if it's quality body work.

[Tyler_e30]

thats what im sayin.lol a lot of locals recommend him highly
