Me andy bower and Andy knight put the wheels on it from my 1602 and towed her home so she is safe and sound now at least. car park 7 is open most of the day time if you wanna go see what they did... they even managed to break the steering lock - would love to know how they did that!!!
I think she might be salvagable but something has happened to the altenator, I think they were trying to work out why it wouldnt start and when we plugged in a battery it set on fire :S - never a good thing! The car does still start and run thou. the only body damage is the boot panel is bent to hell, the spray paint on the bonnet and where they jacked her up they dented the sils. Then she needs the new windows and a full new set of locks (which I have already).
I just seen the lot that the corner shop man thinks did it standing at the end of my road... that loiuseville slugger (baseball bat) is looking OH so tempting right now...! I have pictures of the car which I can post up if i knew how! Will send on to ziggy as he is able to do it.
If she is repairable then I think the 3.5 plan will still go ahead cos its still a good shell. I am just so upset that this E30 of all is wrecked, such a nice early model.
Anyway, I am off to work at Halfords now... fun fun fun. im going to sit and contemplate what to do while at work I think.
Mate, it's still saveable.
Altenator - who cares; it's getting a 3.5 so you'll get it with the donor.
(my bet's that the morons thought it was jammed, so sprayed wd40 at it or something...)
Bonnet - could have done with a respray anyway if we're honest; just get Matt to do it in matt black!
Boot - annoying but not difficult to come by; anyone on here who's got a breaker'll have one & you'll probably find one without the spoiler holes too. Matt black being the order of the day here too, til you can afford a respray for the whole car, which it'd have needed anyway!
Wheels - everyone's got a set of bottletops clogging up their garage - who wants to volunteer em first?!
Sills - needed welding anyway so sort em out at the same time.
Locks - no problem.
Glass - send a pm to "Nelly" (

If you find the little c**ts this evening, bring em up to the PEC - I'll be teaching grading stuff tonight I expect & we could all do with a little light relief...

E30 in need of wiring loom smoke since April '11...
