[player2poet]

recentley i have gotten a 94 325is with some damage they say there is minor sub frame damage .the tie rod snapped control arm cracked all on passenger side oh and fender of course any way my question is do you think its worth getting a new tie rod assembly and control arm to see how it goes down the road ? funny thing is all we did is wire things together and we towed her down the road dint seem to have any shimmy at 28 miles and hour but the passenger side motor mount also snapped so she got hit hard some how but theres such little body damage i cant figure out how she got hit .i know you can never tell but its such a amasing looking car i hate to part her out the motor and tranny are strong and untouched .i will try to get pics up tonight of the damage and the car

(One fixed in post 4) Looks like it ran hard off a road. front subframe may be a bit bad

the quote from body shop said little frame damage but i cant see any only damage i can see is the where the corner light meets with the inner fender got tweaked above the spot where the front metal grill bolts to .frame wise she looks straight i have a pic of the inner fender where the motor mount snapped it all looks good even the strut housing looks good .i figure as long as the bolts to the tie rod line up to the frame i think i should be good i think thats the main bullett i have to dodge if they dont line up cars toast other than taking it and getting the frame pulled.but i think i will part her if thats the case .

Looks like it slammed the hell out of a curb or got hit square on the wheel and got shoved. If you do decide to part it, can I get first dibs on the MAF? I'm upgrading my A/F system.

sure that and your msd ingnition would be nice if i could get your adress again my father lost it and i deleted the pm .hopfully i can save her but i need to really start tearing things off and look at the sub frame closer and where the control arm bolts to the frame see if the bolts will line up .hopfully the car gods are with me on this one

well so far see ago i cant see any frame or subframe damage looks like the tire just got burried in the ground and snapped the tie rod and control arm still cant figure out how motor mount snapped but the sub frame doesnt look touched .so im putting her back together i take pics when im done .

well she on the road and driving good had her up too 110 mph yesterday goes straight had to get new struts in front and raised her back up to stalk height wich isnt that much higher sence it had the m tech susp .only bad news i guess is when i got a four wheel alignment they siad they couldnt get it perfect so there is some frame damage but she goes striaght at one ten and they said the only major defrence is i will get weird tire wear .that means i just wont be selling her so looks like im keeping her i will post pics when i get the new fender and nose panel painted .
