well it failed in spectacular fashion

offside front wheel bearing
nearside front brake pipe excessively corroded
nearside ball joint
front exhaust system
nearside headlamp aim
offside headligh aim
front bumper has sharp edge due to corrosion


is it worth fixing or the petrol and match trick ?????

Easy repair that, might be better off letting the garage do the brake pipe and he will have to set the headlamps up but you can make sure that all the adjusters work and change the other parts :D

thats nothing,last time i done a e30 the guy was looking at both outer sills corroded through,both front jacking points corroded through,complete metal brake pipes from front to back inc hoses,rear subframe bushes,tyres,bulbs ect, ect, ect..... needless to say he had the work done because he knew it was woth it,the list you've got with yours is hardly anything,christ i failed an 06 plate mini today on a leaking p.a.s pipe and the customer was quoted £240 just for the part!!! 8O
