Thank you, but I already did! The car sitting on Alpinas in the last few photos is the replacement shell! It's identical to the old one though so that's probably why you missed it

glad your ok, will be following new car

Thank you Matt, excited to put your boots on my when I put the interior back together in the late winter / early spring.

Car was smashed a lot harder than I thought!

Hopefully you're still considering a daily to let LA beat up on and let the E30 sit in a nice safe garage

Thanks Simon, we STILL need to get together sometime soon. I am now taking the Metrolink/Metro, which gets me to work in under an hour door to door.
Wish I had known this back when I was doing 2+ hours each way in the old shell before it got wrecked.

Sorry about that. Your twin (my old 318i) got totaled too :(

Glad you're back in another.

Sorry to hear that! Do you have any photos of it or any parts left out of it that you haven't put onto your 318is? ALSO...I see you have a 318is now.
Are you by chance the guy with the silver 318is on Ronals in the Sunset?

At least you're not dead tho

good read. sad to hear about your beloved car but glad your back in an E30! you'll make it spiffy in no time. :up:

[word is bond]

Wow - I'm shocked by how well your e30 held up considering it's a 25 year old car built to even older safety standards! Glad that you're ok. Really cool that you found a suitable replacement so soon!

Glad you're back in another E30, Sina!

That really sucks about your old car. I can't believe it held up that well in the accident. It looks like a really hard hit.

[325ix]

Damn, I always really liked your car. Glad to see you're doing well.

[Balleristic31]

Wow this is tragic. Really a reality check and a reminder that anything can happen!

Glad you got into something new, it's a perfect replacement!

[nachbarx]

Glad you're alright man, that looks like a hard hit. Funny that you came across a nearly identical replacement so quickly. Good luck with the rebuild.

This!
And thanks for the really nice write up!
