    I picked up another e30 for 1200 bucks down here in VA.
    I need to get some pictures of it up.

    The fucking crooked stripe down the side of it is hilarious.

      Doing just this, only bought it to drive something till I finish my iS. And make a couple bucks when it's done.

      Step 4: lay hood flat on ground and jump on it to straighten it out

      Step 5: straighten valence, headlight buckets, etc as much as possible

      Step 6: reassemble front of (straightish) e30

      $35 (slide hammer) and a couple hours, and it's "fixed". I've BTDT after a deer strike, drove it like that for the better part of a year till I rounded up the parts and motivation to do it properly.

          Good to see them driven rather than crushed, but man, you've got a hell of a project ahead of you.

              I'm willing to do it to keep another e30 out of the junkyard.

                    e30 body parts are cheap dude, I'd take the time to find replacement panels and flip it for profit.

                      Am i the only one who thinks this is a parts car? And not because my hatred toward 4 doors, but cause of a car thats bent at both ends. Its not like these things are rare finds.

                          No, it's parts car worthy IMO too, but I'd still drive the bitch home.

                            I concur. Considering for around $300 more you can find one in decent shape and ready to roll....

                              Dude, if all you need is a valence, bumper, headlights, and hood, that is a pretty sweet find. Unless it starts turning into a hundred other mechanical + electrical problems.
