I've had it happen in other threads and I suspect it's the fact I'm linking to Facebook. I need to go back and actually upload the photos to each post.

I wanted to go ahead and put some closure to this thread.
The ol' girl is gone. Car is still sitting in the driveway but I don't believe shes worth fixing. The battery tray is wrinkled behind the passenger side strut tower and there is a very slight bend in the roof line. The passenger side frame horn is folded up and touching the engine and the oil pan/oil pump were knocked clean off the block.
I'll strip the drive train and any other good parts and look for another one to swap everything over to.
For now, Snow White (353) will be getting the suspension. Everything else will be put into storage.

I appreciate it. Sad day indeed. I'll have another one as a DD some day but it'll be a while. When I get another one I will definitely post up about it!Originally posted by TeXJ View PostCurrent: '91 DS M3, '03 TS M3 (6MT)

RIP car. Death is not the end, but yet the beginning of your next journey upward.Comment

I've started to sell off little bits and pieces and it makes me a little happier knowing my car is helping keep others on the road. I've decided to keep this thread going and post a picture of the parts and the car it helped out.
First up: lower gauge trim, knurled nut going to a friend with an 88 M3

The dash can be like the Abyss....things go in and never return.Originally posted by jeenyus View Post
The car is pretty much done. Next time I visit Knoxville I will be loading her onto a trailer and hauling it to scrap. Many parts have been sold and will live on in other vehicles.
The trunk lid went to a fellow racer. He installed it the day I gave it to him and he went out and won the race. 14hr at Road Atlanta!
Here he is in impound with the trunk lid.
I kept the drive train, suspension, and four large totes of parts - some day I will source another shell and swap everything over.
Until then.....a few pieces will be moved onto my new project.

What engine are you going with?1987 325 TurboComment

The s14. The original engine is at the machine shop now getting cleaned up. I have a spare I'll most likely run for a little while and then swap back to the original engine. The car is currently at the body shop getting the front bumper fixed, a fender, and a repaint.Originally posted by iso_hi View PostCurrent: '91 DS M3, '03 TS M3 (6MT)
