My buddy wrecked his 1995 540i....Front passenger side damage, how much, I really don't know as I haven't inspected the car myself. Odds are good that I will be helping him part out the car, so if anyone has any requests, I'll take them now...

Some info:
-Car is white with tan leather
-Interior is in decent shape
-Engine/Manual Tranny have about 18X,XXX on them, IIRC maybe less though
-Anything else, feel free to ask away...

See if you can check the compatability of that disc changer for the E46 325i . Thanks man.

will do---

didn't get the window fixed, have to take it in to Harmon Glass this afternoon---I hope they will be able to fix it....

armen may have use for the seats/interior bits... and the engine and trans would fit in teh E28........ or not.

if they total it, make sure he keeps it, I'm sure we can find a use for the engine/trans combo....

he thinks they are going to total it, i told him if they do, take the money and we can part out the car....

I AM BEING VERY, VERY SERIOUS. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE THE CAR. That car is a 6-speed, right? There's a lot of money to be made, or a very nice car to be built....BUY THE CAR FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY....Or if he can't/doesn't want to, please tell me. I will find a way to buy it myself.

I'm with you badeer.... soooooooo want to do bad things with that transmission........ will it bolt-up to the M30??? :D:D:D

No it won't. But that doesn't matter. :) Heh heh heh heh. DON'T LET THAT CAR GO THE SCRAPYARD BEFORE I SEE IT!!!

Seriously the Escrap and 300E were warm up projects that led me to this moment. I am ready. I am one with the welder. Beam me up.

Actually I'm only like 50-60 pages in or something. Gotta focus on James now.

I got like 17 different plans for that 540i already. I can't work. I'm shot for the day. I'm ready to jump in the car and go look at it.

join the club man, I'm waiting for a call, and then have a 6pm.... teh suxors!!! SC/GT is calling, I finally got passed GTQ and am in a real class!!!! and my GT3 p-car is wicked, I had over 130K for mods.... and by the end of tonight I expect to add another 200 or so...

Now I'm saving for a wheel so I can be cool like the cool people. Sorry, dude. :)

hey kids...did someone forget their riddalin this morning??? :D :D
i just email armen, but he's working with the insurance company right now. pretty much the only thing I want is the speakers, Tim wants the 6 disc changer as long as it is adaptable to the e46, which i think it is, but not too sure.....


will know more today.....

Call him right stinkin' now and tell him to find out how much $$ they want in order to let him keep the car.

I'll even have it towed and stored and whatever. I'm serious, don't let them take it.

i wont let them take it away.....

yeah, we all knew a few weeks ago... :D:D

I switched to teh "in car" veiw and it totally changed my driving... muuuuuuuuuuch better. (it had been a LONG LONG time since I had played.

you'll also have to come up and see "Thurmond" he's cute!

he's cute!

Sounds like a real improvement over the previous model. :)

I knew Justin knew...didn't know everybody did. :) Way to keep me in the dark, I was shocked beyond belief.

who's cute? I know none of us are teh queer......

anybody want a peanut?

Thurmond is the replacement for Marley (sp?) aka devil-dog.

You ever notice how every NE thread turns into 2 or 3 pages?

So, Adam, seriously, if I come up to Omahole tomorrow can I see the car somewhere/talk to John somehow?

ah.....

Thurmond is the replacement for Marley (sp?) aka devil-dog.

:werd

aka demon-mutt, aka my arch-nemesis.

marley is to me as tile is to armen.

and armen, CCA planning mtg saturday, and then to rockport to get the yeep.

if you want to roll those into one trip, its all kosher with me.

i'll give him a call here soon and see, he doesn't know for sure what the insurance company is going to do yet.

Saturday is kinda shot. Music practice, meeting for 'transfer of power' for the new 'sound co-ordinator' at FBC, get together with Gregory for Farscape transferrance.

Ok, well, the vultures....ok, vulture is circling, ready to strike, and tomorrow is ideal for me if only to look at it and determine what it's worth to me.

ok, i will call him and see what is going on....

boy this thing slowed down in a hurry....

I stopped writing prose, and stopped freaking out. :D Of course, I'm still to excited to actually do anything productive.

Holy shit! I leave for a couple of hours and this thread explodes.

yup Tim, our whorrage is immense....

Armen--call me tomorrow to see the car, I have a key to his house, he won't be home but said we can stop by and see it, he still hasn't heard from the insurance agency...

Well, at least I got to drive her. unfortunately i didn't know your friend well enough to beat it too bad but was still fun!! :D

Too bad i have no use for anything in that car, unless it has one touch moon roof?????? I'd like to steal that mechanism for my car if it works which it probably doesn't.

Good luck ARMANIA!!!!! Another sweet project in the works possibly!! :D

I have been shown the light, I know the pipe dream.....

yup Tim, our whorrage is immense....

Armen--call me tomorrow to see the car, I have a key to his house, he won't be home but said we can stop by and see it, he still hasn't heard from the insurance agency...

Dang, I thought I had your # but I don't....hit me up, dude!

Let me know what time tomorrow, I assume you are working during the day? Maybe over lunch or something?

yeah, its in dundee so it would be a long ways to go over lunch, will you still be here around 5:30 or so? I have to drop my car off at Harmon Auto Glass at noon over lunch....

Just tell me when to be where, and I will make it work.

The Simpsons go to Brazil was on KXVO when I got home from work yesterday....

"Look honey, it a Samba line!"
"Take me to the hotel.....Take me to the hotel....."

Homer: Look, there he is!.....Oh, wait, you said brown hair, didn't you.

Nun: We nuns cannot fly.
Homer: Oh, too much junk in the trunk, eh?
Nun: ......yes.


......

I can never tell when you are joking. :) If I call you @ work, I won't have the key...so I assume we need to meet after you are finished there. Do you want me to meet you at work at 5:30?

5:30 is ok, kinda out of the way for both of us....
or....
are you off today? because....
since my car is at Harmon, and that is on the way to my buddies house, you could swing by here on your way into the Hole, drop me at my car and off we could go......

kinda confusing....

BTW, is the 'Monorail' episode out on DVD yet? That is by far, my all time favorite episode. I'm also pretty geeked about Family Guy returning to the airwaves...

oh, and that is my vaild work number, so anyone out there that didn't have it, you have it now, just in case you needed it for anything...

I'm taking most of the day off...probably after 11 or so. I'd be happy to pick you up...what time are you talking about?

I've put monorails in Ogdenville and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map!

Shut your pipe-dream-hole, J. :D

You see? I ask mojo a question, and I get a 'huh?'

ah, ignroanceduh, it's me you're talking about here....

and I beleive the correct spelling is IGNORANCE.....:D :D

Oh Armen, I meant yeah, call me when you get here, you can call the cell or the 800#......

And to think I'm in charge of 58 trucks! :devillook

Will do. See you at 5.

OH MOJO,
Lisa's Rival is the best episode EVER and not because of Lisa or her rival, but because Homer finds a jacknifed sugar truck!! :D

mmmm....sugar.....mmmmm

Well, bad news. I seriously doubt it's totalled. Pics later if people care. (this is why I didn't want to start a big thing, J! :) )

This is pretty much the extent of the damage. I figure $3 or $4k, tops, which I'm thinking won't be enough to total it. I could be wrong!

More pics

1 more pic

holding out hope that it is totalled.....

Wow, that isn't bad. I thought it would be worse than that.

still totalled IMO...

....and I personally think that John doesn't deserve such a nice car, he treats it like a POS and keeps the guys at German Automotive in business....

must resist urge to whore today.....

email incoming...

to me?

at work?

yeah, finally sent... sorry for delay

no worries, got it, thanks

Looked up edmunds.com values the other day...surprisingly low. 3.8k-5.5k in 'rough' condition, as much as $7k retail for 'average' condition. So maybe there's a chance. Keep me posted, mojo.

ttt....

gotta love a dream...

btw, looking for suspension parts locally, if anyone knows of any......found a guy who has an m suspension for sale in NYC, but was hoping for something a little closer....

Any updates on this, mojo?

lemme check.....will update...

he said he should know sometime today, they want him to take it to another place this afternoon for a different estimate....

As long as at least one of the estimates is a BMW dealer. :) MMmmmm..dealer estimates. Always a good way to total a car. :D

yeah, i told him to tell the guys at the shop that he wants it totaled.

um.......



ok......



thanks.....

I think he's following me around, posting that link everywhere. I'm not clicking on it...looks like spam.

In my best nasally Ralph Wiggim voice...

Armen's got a stalker! Armen's got a stalker! Armen's got a stalker! Armen's got a stalker! Armen's got a stalker! Armen's got a stalker!

I see a friendly mod went around and cleaned up after the spammer. I feel much better. :D

Still no news, eh...

waiting...

Me too....

Paging mojo for updates...I'm trying really hard not to call on the $350 Audi in the paper this week.

looks like the insurance company wants to fix it....which is a tragedy, a guy who beats a car like that doesn't deserve to own a car like that....

my only hope is that which ever place they send it repairs it right....

Dang. That's not good for my VW/Audi ownership percentage. Guess I'll just have to get back to work on the Corvair...

Yeah, and have you talked to Bryan anymore about the impala motor swap, Armen?? Just thought about it again today.

Not lately. I e-mailed him some stuff but he didn't respond.

I'm missing something..... again....

Might do an engine-tranny swap and full suspension replacement on a '66(?) Impala for a rock star we know. Looking at a GMPP crate motor and air bag suspension.

66 Impala, eh? Is his name Snoop Dogg?



Dream car: 69 Cutlass/Chevelle/Malibu....yummy....I love that body...

I said rock star, not ugly, talentless, thug wanna-be. :D

werd badeer.

502? or bigger???? :D:D:D

or LS1?

anywho, lots of good cars out there, might look at deleting some of the chrome too...

chrome=bling=extra HP!!!! :D :D :D

Did you miss the part about air bags? :D It would be strictly a cruiser...think 290HP base GMPP build. And bling would be high on the pecking order. Including under the hood.

I believe 66 is the correct year and performance isn't what he is after at all, so like Armen said bring the Bling!! :D it will be fun i think. that is if he emails you back sometime.

Justin, did you see the FS:1968 thread? I kinda expected that after you saw that you'd post a FS:1994 E36 325is thread. :)

I sent that link to my dad, he had a '68 Camaro when he married my mother, but she couldn't/didn't want to learn how to drive a manual......so he sold it and bought a '78 Malibu when they got married.....he said that he thinks about that car everyday......

Justin, did you see the FS:1968 thread? I kinda expected that after you saw that you'd post a FS:1994 E36 325is thread. :)
I saw that thread and was like, "Wow, that's not a bad price.)

very tempting but you know i'm holding out for a '69 SS!! :D

68 or 70... no 69s...

this thread is back from the dead!
