You need to read the rules for the various classes. I'm not sure you would be legal in autocross without doors. Certainly not in any of the Stock, Prepared, Touring or similar classes. No offense intended, but there are safety issues, and you can't just run any old piece of junk.

Safety issue is one thing, but another issue is weight advantage. Doors are heavy, you would have an unfair advantage in regular classes if you pulled the doors.

You would be better off pulling the dents out the best you can, and welding the doors shut if necessary.

Sorry, don't own an operational camera right now!

Yeah, don't know about that 5 series either. All the internals are good (still drives), so.....I'd like to use her as a parts car. can't find any good e30s though!! stupid eastern NC.......

I may just have to settle for a ridiculously huge van (i'm gonna have to move sometime in the next year).

....for now

On the plus side, I am enjoying bicycling!

weeeee.......

That car reminds me of doing tree stands with my buddy in his Nova in high school....damn that straight six could blow smoke.

defination of tree stand: nosing the car into a tree and lighting the tires up till you produce a heavy fog of smoke and a odiferious stench of rubber, goodtimes.
