Looking for an Alpine II hood

[Joey Link]

I'm looking for an Alpine II hood in good shape. Mine flew off yesterday @ 40mph.

That sucks.

Have you tried looking behind you?

Joey, how does a hood fly off an e30? Just curious.

[3bvert]

did someone forget the bolts ????

[Joey Link]

Yeah I had been trying to find the two flat brackets off a parts car for some time now, unsuccessfully. I had driven regularly with the hood unbolted but properly latched, unfortunately this time it wasn't. Looked like it was straight out of the movies, flew a good 10-15 feet in the air. Luckily no damage to anything or anyone but the hood itself.

safety first?

[Joey Link]

Yeah, you can bet I learned my lesson.

So its true, Alpine cars do fly higher. ;)

I have a good silver one.

Look on ebay (sorry no link) Someone had a brand new hood in the box, just needs to be taken to a body shop for paint.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'm not looking to spend that much money ;)

[Joey Link]

Still looking, any color will be fine as long as it's cheap :)

[namsayin]

just buy a cheap one and rust it out

Did you check lkq sometimes they have decent e30 body parts... Sometimes.
