You're an optimist.

lol, anything CAN be fixed, its just whether it should be. i totally 2 e30 for less than that. find a straight shell and start moving parts over.

Im assuming its not an E30 M3 5 lug?

If you pull off a full repair of that, you are my hero lol. Copart is to buy for parts. Go buy a straight body e30 and swap stuff over.

that's a hell of a lot bigger fix than a rear panel. I totaled one out that was waaaaaay better off than that, hit the bumper and she was donezo, frame damage and buckled the inside of the trunk so bad it stripped all the sound deadening on impact...i thought it was a win until i saw how these things crease and fold upon impact on the inside to make it look like it's not so bad on the outside.up
