In december my e30 325 (super eta) got rear ended by a suburban. Car was declared a total loss (damages were about 4100), car wasn't worth that much.
I am currently in the proccess of attempting to fix it, but if I can get anything halfway decent for it, might not even bother with it.
The damage is in the rear closer to the passanger side. The quarter panel is bent outwards, bumper is bent upwards, trunk lid is bent a bit. My buddy and I straightened it out a tad and were able to get the tunk to close. The locking mechanism does not work though.
We pulled the interior, and the shock tower looks unscathed. The battery god damaged during the accident, so car wouldn't start. I have a new battery that I got for it, however it has been sitting on my driveway for about 4 months now, and isn't starting, it is cranking, but just won't start. I will try to figure out whats wrong with it, and if we can get it started this weekend.
It has pretty much brand new tires on it, and an ok stereo, nothing crazy. 4 infinity speakers and a JVC Mp3/CD player.
The odomoter froze at 220k miles, its roughly at about 280k now. Was running well prior to the accident, and had an aftermarket cheapo exhaust. I had poured about 1300 in maintenance on it in november, passed smog without a problem. Still have the receipt.
I will post pictures later tonight. I am looking to get somewhere in the range of about 500-800 if I can get it started. Please let me know if there is any interest, if not I will just fix it a bit and use it as my daily.
