let me know when you start the dismantling process that will be a big factor in whether the chassis is reusable. I have seen Phil Sansosio (PhilSans on bf.c) straighten an e36 frame in the paddock of mid-Ohio. So it’s not a huge deal to repair and there are plenty of people that can do it cheaply. ---

you’re in a tough situation. i would buy a beat up body chassis e36 that has little to no rust on it and swap everything into that, then pick a decent daily. ---

So it’s not a huge deal to repair and there are plenty of people that can do it **cheaply.** just my style.:ahh I’ve still been scouring every craigslist I possibly can to find a decent e36 to swap. Have some matches, but then I call and it’s this thugged out puerto rican dude or something. ☹ ---

Either get a donor E36 OR Work out a swap for your wrecked M3 for my 240 SX that could easily be modified into a drift car…so I can swap the M3 stuff into my 318ti. DJ ---
