PA FEELER only. Alpine White 1995 ti

[RichieRich]

Alpine white 318ti Active. 92,XXX miles. Car was in IMMACULATE condition both inside and out before I hit a fire hydrant on driver's side front. Immaculate black leather interior, always maintained with love. No rust. Would like to rebuild her myself but don't know if I have the time. Going to need frame/unibody straightened driver's side, a front clip(except passenger front fender), and driver side control arm. What might this be worth to you? I AM NOT PARTING THIS CAR OUT so please don't ask. See my photo album for pre-accident photos. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your accident.

Just taking a shot, and I can't commit without discussing finances at home but,.....
Considering I would need to pay to flat bed it to me, the low miles, assuming the engine is good, hoping the rim and tire could be saved, I might consider offering $1,000. I'm hoping it could be put back together for around $1,500 additional. I guess that is the carbon fiber hood you worked so hard to get to fit correctly?
Do you still have the metal hood?

Did you keep any of "TheKid's" car parts from Erie?

[RichieRich]

Sorry Pittsburgh, but I would rather just put it my garage long-term for anything less than 2K, given the car's pre-accident condition. Engine starts and runs perfect, wheel is okay, tire probably not (I had it inflated to move it around but it went back down). And that's not the carbon fiber hood. Got my $$ refunded on that and just bought a new metal hood. As far as "TheKid's" car parts, I still have a boatload of them in my basement. Guess I may have to put some of them on the market to finance restoring the Alpine.

I purchased this car, and it's been in my garage over a month. The damage is worst than I expected from my pre-sale inspection. This is REALLY a project car. I have 3 opinions that is un-repairable, and 3 other opinions of how it can be reapired, sooooo, it 50 / 50 if it will make it back on the road.

wow...bummer!
i hope you make it work out for you tho.

[PittsburghSteelers318ti]

I hope so too.
The biggest problem is the PASSENGER side lower control arm mounting point is all destroyed. I did'nt even look over that side of the car until after I bought it and was loading to take it home.

Worst case I'll keep it as my parts car, other than the front end issues, it's in good condition with about 94,000 miles.

If you sell any parts lmk. I need some small interior pieces. Also where are you in pgh? I'm south in cannonsburg. I see a blue ti every once and a while, w/m3 rims on it driven by a younger guy.

I'm glad to hear that you didn't junk the car; I was very sad to see her go. I really hope you decide to repair rather than part. Favorite car by far that I have ever owned. Dave, I do have a couple small interior parts left from a previous parts car I owned -- what do you need. You may need to wash off a little smoke smell, because they were stored in my basement and my furnace caused a major house fire at the end of October, pretty much a write off, and homeowner's insurance DOESN'T cover "stored car parts."

[Dave_PA]

ah cool. thanks Rich.
yeah the 'biggest'/most annoying thing i need is the light switch/toggle. Mine is a dial type but since it will twist for dimming, there isn't a 'stop' for the twist and you can pull it to turn the lights on and have no lights on the dash (because it is set to be dim).

i also need the screws for the dash piece under the glove box.

Thanks Rich,
Dave
