Hope your all well? I found my self lovely m340i with a great spec so i had to buy it. I work in a bodyshop thats the reason why i buy damaged cars as it works out cheaper for me.
Pick up the car last week from copart. Here is a picture of the car. I have brought most of the parts to repair the g20. If you want to see the rebuild of the car it will be on my youtube channel DrivingWithAsh. |

I wonder what the previous owner was doing or thinking when his happened, I would be devastated.

Nice man. Looks like a good start. Judging from the front fender that's missing the headlight, the frame looks relatively straight, except for the corner of the front wing that's missing. The rear looks superficial, may need a quarter panel. Anyway, solid pickup man!!

Great project. Reuse and Recycle!
About 10 years ago I did the same with practically brand new e90 328x. It had similar front damage at 1020miles. Took me about 4 months to do and get all the approvals but I drove it for 6 years and 90,000miles. I loved that car! You develop a special relationship w a car that has been nursed back to life. Getting sentimental thinking about it!! Good luck. |
