Death to e30 NOW PARTING OUT

[e^2]

I had this happen to a gorgeous project car as well. Totally sucks. You should definitely buy it back, then tube the front end

[Gregolas]

I always hate seeing these threads...glad you are ok though. I have had the same thing happen with my belt a few times, and I have been lucky enough to catch it.

Just went through this myself... Totaled mine about a month ago, (rear-ender, doors back and motor are still good) and to give you some insight on buyback value. My car had been rebuilt within 10k miles, excellent interior, and pretty much a flawless unmolested body. In short, it was a very very nice daily driven completely stock 1987is...

They valued it at $4200 and the buyback was $400... its currently sitting in my garage, waiting to be stripped. The interior was just sold for $750 so I am already in the black.

That being said. Everything else is still available.

I did feel a strong disturbance in the E30 Force yesterday... sorry to see.

[cbouchez]

I'm really sorry about your accident. I'm glad you are fine, go where the car is located and get the stuff you need out now. (if you don't buy it back) I did that with my E36. I replaced aftermarket wheels with stock, seats, etc...

Insurance company will not cover that so it's only fair.

Talk to you later Jordan.

how the hell did the seat belt latch just let go like that?!

I think he means the shoulder strap didnt lock to hold him from going forward.

Its a shame man but in the end your still alive to build another at least.

Damn sucks to hear about the ride. She looked nice

[Dussen]

Glad to hear your ok at least. And yes buy her back then strip her and sell everything. You'll probably make what enough back for it to be worth it.

Good Luck!

[Martin C.]

Sorry to read that this happened to your car. Glad you are ok.

About asking the girlfriend to buy you another e30 as Cellebration that you are ok!!!

[Ayman]

Thanks all. The "frame rails" -- both upper where the fenders bolt on and lower that have the bumper mounts -- are not straight, especially on the passenger side. I'm sure that they could be repaired by a professional, but it would be very cost prohibitive. I'm hoping that I can just get my hands on it so I can pull the stuff like side skirts, mtech spoiler, rear euro trim, heated e36 m3 sports mtech wheel etc. Not sure if I'll get another e30 to put the parts on or just sell them off and move on (for now) to something newer and more comfortable for commuting.

Omg he's delusional

[brutus87]

Ugh im so sorry.
Ive been through this before.

[tonytony]

It can be rebuilt, faster and better! You're alive that's the important thing, I say keep it if you can or you'll regret it.
