Another one bites the dust......

[richg40]

Dont you just wish that some people would pull out from junctions with thier eyes open.....

[skipunda]

Is that laches silver?

[RM2186]

Looks like sterling silver to me

[n1tr0_9]

Bummer. Doesnt look that bad though. Dont let the fuckers write it off!

[skipunda]

free laches wing if you want it to get you on the road. will check quality of it tomorrow

[richg40]

Thanks for the offer fella but I don't have time to fix it or anywhere to keep it. Prob just gonna take the pay out stick it in the pot and buy an e36 compact.

[RM2186]

I've got a Sterling silver bonnet, wing, and bumper if you need them. PM me if you need a price and whereabouts you are.

sorry mike wasnt trying to steal your sale. i was typing as you posted.

[RM2186]

No probs Dave. I just have a K reg touring 318i that is about to go the journey after I have pulled a few bits off it.

You found a replacement Dave

[richg40]

Honestly there'll be no repairing her, if the insurance company dont want much to buy it back then I might consider breaking but otherwise it's a cube.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Seriously for that little bit of damage your willing to see a (what looks like) clean 2 door shell go to the crusher!

How can no one find the time to simply replace a bonnet, , bumper, wing & few bits of trim!

Out of interest what model is it?

[richg40]

Just don't have the time, plus a volkswagen on the drive i'm rebuilding so i've gotta priortise. It's a 1991 320i SE.

[Ollie_bwoii]

It will take as long to fix this E30, as it will to go and look at 1 E36 turd!

[frogman]

Whatever you do dont buy an E36 Compact! They are the gayest car ever! A saloon or coupe would be fine!

I would suggest that you buy the car off the insurance and flog it here on the zone. I'm sure you would have it sold in no time and you would have a clear conscience for saving an E30 from death.

+1 fully agree

[Zerotonine]

-1 Compacts are good cars. not gay. Most E36 coupes and saloons are battered to an inch of their life, the only E36s I see that are looked after are the tourings and compacts, with the odd mint coupe.

[richg40]

All i'm after is a little extra fuel economy and a bit more poke. Which wont be difficuly to achieve coming from a 320i. Gotta have a tow bar for the bike rack aswell, which was one the only reasons I bought this e30 in the first place.

[Dave_M3]

That's very little damage really.

Once the bumper, wing and bonnet are off it will look alot better.
Small bit of beating at the front panel then and bolt on the new sterling silver panels and it'll be minty again.

4 hours work as said

Don't give up on it! If you really can't fix it, give it to a zoner who will

mabee not sure yet.

richg40 what condition is the rest of the car rust wise?
i mabee interested.

[richg40]

There is literally bearly any rust on it at all. It's quite well specced too.

[Simon13]

the insurance will write it off, and they'll most likely rate the salvage at Nil and you'll be free to keep the car. They won't want to take it away it would cost them money

Whats your location to help vultures?!

[Bob_S]

vultures have set in

[richg40]

haha. I'm in Chester in the North west but it's a little soon to putting dibs on bits because the assessor is taking an age to come and look it over.

[richg40]

Well the time has finally arrived! After alot of lying by the third party my insurance company have come through for me and secured me a cheque. Where do I find the 'how much is it worth thread'?.

[Jhonno]

Thanks for the offer fella but I don't have time to fix it or anywhere to keep it. Prob just gonna take the pay out stick it in the pot and buy an e36 compact.

You do realise that it'd take less time to fix it, than to look for a new car..

There is about 2hrs work there

[richg40]

I'd rather see it go to someone who'll show it some love. It's just not practical for me anymore.

[gare30]

il be interested send me a pm

[richg40]

Cool. i'll drop you a pm. But, where should I post to find out how much it's worth?

[gare30]

[ImysE30]

Cool. i'll drop you a pm. But, where should I post to find out how much it's worth?

Post it here in E30 Chat

Put some pic's and details about it too

[richg40]

Ok, cool. I'll have it brought back from storage on Friday and i'll stick some info up.
