Sup guys. I was involved in an accident. Want opinions the whole front end is busted. needs some what major front end work. Fenders hood valance and core support. Lights grills and bumper. Worth fixing or parting it out????
Lots of money into it. Close to 4k in parts alone

Yeah my fault had my rubbery nikes on and the sole was wet at a light my clutch slipped and hit a Tahoe. Tahoe had no damage since I hit the tow hitch the whole front of mine was destroyed. Euro grills, ellips, nice mint valance new bumper and both fenders and the radiator was pushed in and core support was bent. Either I part it or fix it
But will probably not buy another e30.
But don't know whether to fix t or not. I would just need all the stuff that wasdamaged.
Surely is. I had just gotten it back from the body shop.
Parting it would be the best thing. Don't have time or tools to do it alone.
Anyone have an idea of how much it would be to weld a new core support?
i would say part out then if you're not willing to fix it. if not call around just to see how much support would be to straighten out and then swap panels and front stuff.

Danm Augie, I'm feeling for you dude. It just seems like you can't get a break, hopefully you can learn from this experience and not use those shoes anymore, i've never hit anything myself but the foot slipping has happened to me as well.

Good luck buddy.
thanks Ed, yeah it sucks, i havent gotten a break in some months one thing after another...ill be checking to see how much it would be to weld the support the rest i can do putting the fenders and valance and the rest..but im now leaning more towards parting it...tons of stuff ...
Damn, keep it in neutral brotha...keep it in neutral! Pics of damage? core supports aren't that hard to change. Just has to be welded in the right way but it's a common procedure.
