[bjl4776]

[bjl4776]

oh, i guess one at a time

[bjl4776]

last one. Im still torn between fixing it, or parting it out.

minor damage mate

[bjl4776]

it looks that way, but the strut tower is pushed a half inch back, so if i get it on the frame machine and can't get it back in spec then it won't be worth trying to fix it. But if it can be, then im probably going to fix it. Anybody have any experience with getting body parts from www.1autobodyparts.com. If they are any good then i can get a fender, bumber (cover and reinforcement), radiator support, and hood for $360.

how did it happen? looks like a telephoen pole?

[bjl4776]

Sure was. Some ass in a ford explorer was a foot behind me flashing his lights on a two lane road, so i picked the worst moment to downshift to 2nd and step on it right as i was coming down over a hill with a slow turn and broke loose on some ice. One side was a rock wall, and another side was a drop off. Missed the wall and then saw the drop off then went back for the wall, i missed going up a street and being untouched by a foot or two and hit the telephone pole. Can't complain though, could hardly feel it. One last praise for my trusty Beemer. I think i was going about 25 when i finally hit, but i wasn't paying attention to my speed. I guess thats what i get from driving on nice straight, flat, and dry roads of southern mississippi, to the curvy, hilly, icy roads of connecticut. Luckily for me, the guy in the explorer bolted, and I could only afford liability, so i get stuck with the bill.

any decent frame rack can pull that and if it's done on a good one by somebody who knows how to use it you won't know it's ever been screwed with, theres a whole set of mesurments for the different parts of the car so it's no big deal to pull something that small

A clay bar can take that out...
