    That's got Frame damage for sure. I can see it's got the ass end all pointed down. Fix able yea but your gonna have to cut the body off right behind the rear seats and rebuild it all the way back.

      I think I read Kronus might have a straight Alpine shell for you to swap into

              Agreed, swap shells, that's a headache and a half. What did you pay? $500?
              Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                    Let me put this very optimistically, if you can do what you did to that M3 to that E30 in a reasonable budget, you will have people from three states away coming to your body shop to have their rear ended E30s fixed.

                        Yes that was my car I was going to do a s52 swap until that happened. You have to pull really hard to release the latch for the hood. I took off the eibach springs and put either e36 m3 springs or 318is springs. It has e36 m3 fronts and 318ti rears. I did swap the wheels because I just bought new tires for the wheels I had on. It does have a viper alarm 5901 and also the interior is pretty clean. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you
