    Why I'm giving up my car



    That's the A Pillar. It has bondo ~80% of the way up. If I plow that thing into a wall, as new drivers are wont to do, then I shall DIE. That, R3V, is why I'm parting out my car.

    EDIT: Mods, please move this to General Technical. Sorry for misposting.

      It's for the better Nigel, just from what I've been told, that car was a pile to begin with. Find yourself a nice condition early model and rock on.

            damn cancer...sorry to see her lose the battle.

            Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
            Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
            Lobsterbacks attack the town again
            Wrap all my things in aluminum
            Beams of darkness streak across the sky
            Pink rays from the ancient satellite
            Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
            Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

                OK guys, here is the deal. The car was obviously hit hard in the left front quarter. We went to swap the door yesterday and found it just would not align. I cut a hinge in half to make a shim thick enough to make it fit...no dice. The car that the door came off of was straight...so we got to looking. The "A" pillar has a layer of bondo about 1/4" thick across the entire surface, as does the door jamb.

                Screw this car. We will part the thing, find some other E30 and build that.

                We will do more magnet checking before purchase, I can assure you!

                Hard to believe a car I got for $100 is a crap deal...but no way am I putting that much effort into this pile.

                  Damn guys, thats a downer. Itll turn out better in the end to not have a piece of crap car though. Good luck with the new search.

                          Looks like crappy stock Isuzu Impulse wheels to me .

                          Luke does it have the uber funky-cool Impulse steering wheel too ? :D


                          Sorry to hear the bad news on this one .
                          Hopefully you are only out the $200 you mentioned .

                            Just remember that the magnet trick doesnt always work. I saw a 52 chevy panel that had TONS of bondo, but a magnet still stuck to ti...
