you might try one of the paintless dent removal places.
i had them fix one that was on a crease in a door.
it looks like the car is already wearing a bandage.

HUH??? Can someone explain to me why I'm right now watching a '77 BMW 530i 4-door get $29k at auction? Am I missing something? This is not an M3, its not an 8-series, and it ain't a 2002. What's the deal?

Easily explained - a combination of drugs and alcohol! WTF?? That's one of the least-desireable 5ers, with the thermal reactors cooking the engine and a head with a known defect. The subsequent 528i fixed those problems, and I'd like to find a clean one of those.

If I drive really, really fast... maybe I can get my 3 series down to Barrett Jackson before the bartender gives last call.
 
Think I should throw my old lawnmower in the trunk?
 
I could use the money.

Could be a phony bid (chandelier bid as we say). There's all kinds of funny business down there.

$4500
Needs an alternator, he says.... About $100 to fix he says.....
 
Hate those 70's bumpers and not crazy about the luggage rack.
 
I like this one better... prettier bumpers and no rack and already has a working alternator but more miles and less info.

guess my wife felt so bad that I don't have a project car, that she decided to make one for me out of what we have on hand.
 

 

 
What do you guys think? Right now I'm thinking NOT to call the insurance company (run in by herself with a tree at the edge of our driveway while slipping on the ice trying to turn in from the road). There is no paint damage, but there are alot of bent/broken brackets. Which really infuriates me, by the way. Its a BUMPER!! Why the hell do the engineers decide to anchor the headlight, AC condensor, and even hood latch to the bumper?!

I call it a toss-up. The '80 looks to be in better shape, but the two-tone paint and chrome wheels are just wrong. What was that we were just saying about the fast and furious crowd?
 
Oh, and "needs new seat cover" = $1,000. The interior is what was killing me on my Alfa. You can throw $4k at just refreshing the inside of the car.
 
You can get the alternator rebuilt. Not sure of price, though.
