1981 320i E21 Ballin' On A Budget- Weekend Makeovers

[scabzzzz]

I found pot in my new E30 too! But I think it was from me...

[straight6pwr]

is that a cirrusblau late model 4-door shell?

[LuckyHenriksen]

Yes it is. The front fenders were already wrecked when I got it

[LuckyHenriksen]

Washed her up really quickly in the last ~20 minutes or so after work before it got too dark. Looks a tiny bit better now. I had to break out the light setup to get a couple of shots :D

Sweet God Almighty !

That shift knob is an abomination in that car.

That shift knob is an abomination in that car.

It's also on backwards. Spin that thing 180 and you will like it a lot better, until you get a new one that is.

The car looks amazing, even with the little bit of damage. You will fix that easily enough.

[LuckyHenriksen]

The shift knob is going to die in a fire (literally) as soon as I can remove it. I have another one waiting patiently

[hi its me alec]

Can't wait to see some TLC put into this car. It's in pretty good shape for being owned by a lady =P

I need an e21 just like yours

Oh yea dude I know, poor car lol. I am going to have a paintless dent remover guy do all he can about the rough body, but thats it. Should clean up rather nicely though

[moe30]

This is so awesome, had to go buy one of those stickers haha. E21's have been growing on me quickly lately. Can't wait to see what else you have coming

[LuckyHenriksen]

So I just picked up this gem. It is completely trashed, but lets see what kind of goodies I can scrape out of it

[LuckyHenriksen]

So the first parts car had this sweet Ansa exhaust setup. Pulled it, pressure washed it and will clean/paint/polish the tips. Hopefully it sounds good haha







Then I proceeded to pull the drivetrain out of the second parts car, redneck style

It's also on backwards. Spin that thing 180 and you will like it a lot better, until you get a new one that is.

My vert came with the exact same knob, it actually feels best (not saying much) turned off at an angle, around half way between the four and five o'clock position.

[Butler]

Sweet! :rofl:

[LuckyHenriksen]

Hehehe yea I worked great. I wouldn't want to do that to a car that hadn't already been wrecked though
