I'm going to try to get the car as close to how it was as possible, but i will need a new passenger side fender, and that dent in the rear quarter is pretty gnarly not sure that will ever fully come out. Oh and the hood has a small dent along with paint damage. Yep basically i ruined a super clean e30. Isn't that basically a crime on these forums? Will i be shot?

It's really not fun being car broke, and that's what that train of thought will do to you as a student. Have fun, fix your car, don't be dumb. Edit: ELVA164 has an excellent point above. To that point, my other car is a Miata with a stock drivetrain. I love that car! It's ridiculously fun. |

If you can't drive a slow car fast, you for sure cannot drive a fast car fast. You're 16, you barely have real world driving experience. Fix your e30, don't worry about making it more powerful, realize you probably suck at driving, don't get but hurt when douche bag mustang owners say your car is slow, take it easy and and experience will come.
The best way to get experience it to royally fuck up and get your ego smashed, like the mailbox you took out. Anyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that. |

I'm actually pretty thankful my dad made me drive an 82' Mercedes 300D through freshman-junior year of highschool. That thing is so slow it was nearly impossible to overdrive it (unless you really tried, but you could still oversteer if wet) so it was a great first car. I haven't been in any accidents (when I was driving) so I am thankful but just don't overstep what you can do. I would just get it back up into a drive-able condition and enjoy it. No reason to hoon it around if it's your daily. Also totally agree with ELVA164. It is honestly more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. I have driven my friends bone stock NA miata and that thing was a hoot. You could drive the crap out of it but still be going 50mph after banging through 4 gears.
