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.

He gave me a valence with foglights already painted and the taillight. I have the hood and lights at home. Some people overthink things..

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.

Crooked stripe?

the rear valance is toast- and the front is all bent up. Never said it wasn't fixable, but is it worth all the trouble even after dumping all that time to fix those HUGE things?

important thing is that your happy with it!

haha i just noticed the rear. oh shit!
this $720 car just became a $400 car, but real talk, that's gonna need some real skillz to fix.

guys, he already bought it. why dont you stop being so negative and start giving him tips on how to fix what he spent his most likely hard earned cash on, hmm?

it runs. for $700, that's not bad. it needs some new body panels, ok. but he can get those in a junkyard np.

Sorry for seeming like an asshole, I'm hungover as shit this morning.

But dude srsly, its a great thing that you're going to rejuvinate such a great car. 91' 318i/4 in Diamantschwarz are beautiful. I bought mine for $800, an though it's body panels were in-tact, the car ran like shit, and the interior was almost as nonfunctional as a straight jacket.

Your car has a great ton of potential, that can easily be tapped into with all of the great E30 resources in Sac and the Bay area.

I'm still going to be a negative nancy, sometimes people have to face reality. And people know i hate 4 doors. But even if this was a 2 door, i'd say the same thing. But if the dude wants to fix it up, more power to him.

[straight6pwr]

i'd bet there are some tweeks on the body of the car elsewhere that you should look out for from the accident.

when i bent my core support, i used some 2x4s to create a brace and took a bottle jack and just pushed it back out.

If you know how to use a spray gun you can easily get that car looking like nothing ever happened for $400 parts and paint.

The paint on the car is in great shape. Just a nice wax after a good carwash.. For the people that are being negative, it fine guys, everyone has their own opinions ya know? I'm not trippin. I saw lots of potential in this car.. And even if I break even, would you rather have this baby looking great on the road with someone else driving it, or sitting in pick-n-pull, all jokes aside. But thanks for thr encouraging words!

Also when you get the car fixed, you need to pull out your rear quarter panel.
