No, I’ve heard the year thing aswell, older shit (dont know the break year) is exempt, probabaly due to the lack of parts availability.
thats awesome then, he will have a nice bmw again and spending cash
It isn’t that bad if they total out a car. I have purchased 2 or 3 totaled cars and fixed them. They always next a good return if done correctly. Looks good!

Nice work.

well got everything finished and the car is off to the paint shop to be painted, when it comes back i will reassemble everything and get all trim on and whatnot. shop that is doing the car is out in wilson/ransomville, friend of my uncle. been in business 30+ years and warranties all work too:headbang:
heres the progress of up to that point. should be about a week til it comes back.
right side fully welded and prepped for filler.
right side trunk jam
left side prepped for filler.
sheetmetal 100% and ready for paint prep.
final taillight fitment. im happy with how it turned out. should look really good after paint.

not too bad for never doing something like this before. im happy with how it turned out. dad will be driving it to work tomarrow.
Looks a lot better! Good job. I’d kick my dad square in the nuts if I went through all of that work just for him to sell it. Make him drive it for a while.
very nice work man … well done 
the bumper really stands out like its the wrong color or something
other then that it looks great
^^thanks guys, and karter, in '92 the bumpers were not colormatched. its supposed to be that darker color. i tried convincing him to have the bumpers colormatched while the paint work was done but he didnt want to.
like i said before good work, car looks great
wow looks great
Gj, it almost looked too messed up to fix.
Well done :tup:
