Or he realized that it was turning into a huge money pit....and decided to cut the cord before he got way too much invested in it.
I get that some guys love rebuilding cars....but for what he had in it, and what still needed to be done to it....there were tons of better options out there for much less money. Hopefully he will come back with an update..... |

Your optimism inspired me and I'm sure many others...and gave me fuel to keep working on my car, I'm in a similar situation. How did you end up cutting the fender apron? I'm thinking to go to a salvage yard an attempt to chop the apron. Still trying to find a shop to do the frame work. Cheers |

I know doesn’t look good at all.
A Harbor freight welder borrowed from a buddy...it’s a square cross section though so should be fine But fender and front end fit perfectly so I’m ok with the results Waiting on the darn radiator w sensor to arrive |

If you have the means, take the car to a body shop and have them lay a good strong bead on that joint. Or even call a mobile welder to come and get it done. Just to be on the safe side |

Man some of you guys are negative here. These cars are cheap as dirt these days, it's time to see some fun, questionable, redneck shit happen in backyards. I pulled rear end damage out of my car by attaching it to a tree in my parents front yard a year or so ago. Saved a 200k mile 335 from the junk yard. $3,600 does seem like a lot for this car though are the YouTube rebuild channels driving up auction prices or what?

Yeah....picked up my running, driving, no damage, clean title, 90k mile, 07' 335i that needed a waterpump and themostat for $3,500.
$3,600 for a crashed car with salvaged title is nuts.... |
