    Looking for an autobody shop that can take a look at my frame rails on my E30.

    PO was in a collision where she rear ended and front frame rail behind metal bumper is looks fucked.



    I have a section of the frame rail that I got from somebody which could replace about 7-8" going back... could this be cut/welded in?

    Open to opinions.
    Does the bumper still mount properly? If so I wouldn't mess with it.

                                Hard chance but does anyone have any old/worn out e46 control arms, e36 spindles and e36 strut housings. Orr is anyone running a similar or exact settup? I need to get measurements for a project I’m workin on. Willing to pay, but looking for cheap items.
