        Sorry to hear of your luck. I sure hope you can put it back together! IX E30s deserve whatever it takes to keep them on the road!

                The frame rail is bowed and pushed in about 6 inches. If you were to put it on a frame machine MAYBE you could fix it. We had the driver side bumper stock chained to an excavator to try and pull it out. Nothing wanted to move. The car could have potential to drive straight, but I do not think you will ever get a bumper or fender to go on it straight.

                But this chassis is not worth the amount of time and money. It has terrible trunk rot, the driver side quarter is shot infront of the rear wheel well. The paint is very faded, and has been resprayed in spots all over. The first picture of the car may make it look a better than it really is. The passenger side of the car was always the good side. We have a lead on a few sedan shells. If what I was told is true, the shell has excellent paint and does not have any rot, but we will see. We're going to try and save this drivetrain.

                Might even take the destroyed chassis and beat it up in the woods :D

                          Good news, found a nice iX in Morristown NJ. Very very clean and was in a barn for fourteen years.
