        Yeah the core support is fine .

        Sadly there will be no other party paying for this one .
        I avoided making contact with the Van and lost the ass end on my ride and caught the inside wall when it came back around .

        Also since this is a beater and I did'nt plan on really spending any real $$ it I had never planned on painting it or fixing up the body .
        But now it looks like it will get a full respray at least .

          Bummer on the wreck.

          Glad you aren't one of those "I got a door ding, so I'm parting and crushing it" type guys.
          I hope I can find a '91 318is in a year or so to DD and keep my M reserved for recreational duty.

          It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

            Thats extacly what I did. I feel better now.

            I dread the 100k mark, even though it won't be for a couple of years.

              Sucks bro, one shot though makes it look like the frame got tweaked, but pictures can lie. Glad to hear your taking it in stride.

                Looks like my car now.

                As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                  classic R3v story , guy gets car, guy fixes up/mods car, guy R3v's car, R3v members circle car like vultures for parts, rinse, repeat.
                  Yea you definitely had to add the parts request to that.

                  Liked where the car was headed for sure, It'll be fine soon right?

                    Yeah it will be just fine .

                    I've already got a Alpine hood and RF fender off of my parts car .
                    I'll be sporting a red bumper though and I'm gonna keep the valence ...maybe tweak it with a BFH . :D

                    The hood can be fixed but for now its easier just to swap it .
                    Once I get around to painting the car complete I'll put the original hood back on .

                    Going to slap on some weaves for now also since I have to send on of the wheels out .
                    Once I order a decent set of 225/50's I'll install my 15" Euroweaves .

                      That stinks. I have been driving my eta around in the snow/ice lately.. I fear shit like that. I have euro bumpers...and a mint original paint job.. At least i have snow tires on it right now to help out.

                        Jesus, that bent wheel pisses me off than the r3v'd front end.

                        PS: when your wheels are back from getting fixed, sell me your 15" weaves.

                                Shit! I didn't even notice that it had tagged the rim.
