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

[txtorquemade]

Do want a e21. Badly in fact. I know the 2002 is the "classic" 3 derivitive everyones all flipped about, but I like the 320iS much better. As long as I can get one with a working AC.

I passed up a nice Alpine 320iS couple of years ago and regret it now. Wont happen again.

30.00 roof rack??

Ooo I love it, thanks for all the tips on cars guys! I will have to follow up on those.

As for the bumper I definitely need to do something, a bumper delete looks cool, but so does a tuck/trim. I will have to look into it further to find the best option.

And I just bought one of those $30 roof racks :D

Got a ski rack for that price? Or source? PM me..:D

You should do a front bumper tuck on that beast and lower it with some sweet sport rake like your E30!

I actually have a set of sprangs that I need t try out, just need to man up and tear the car down lol. And I think I will ditch the front bumper entirely, and run the is valence I have

I don't know if you could use it as a ski rack or not? I will PM you the link

So I pulled the front bumper and related hardware. I love the way it looks, even with all the holes. I am working on getting some trim to make a "bumper" and mount the beat up sport valence I have. should look tits



Pic of the other parts car on its way outside



And the lineup of crap (except the E30 cabby isn't crap :D)



I also started cutting wood to build the floor in the roof rack. It is currently stained and awaiting a coat of sealer



And I picked up this non running Henna car, I don't know what to do with it but I love the color.



It has this sweet siren/horn thing, I want to put it in my Ballin' on a Budget car



And the most important update: I picked up a set of uber cheap sprangs, hopefully will see some slammage soon. My only problem is being too lazy to take apart the front suspension on the old heap. I hate separating ball joints! Total cost for these brand new: $75 shipped

Where did you find the springs? Rates? Brand? Thanks

Euro bumpers, M20, dual exhaust, single headlamps. Do it.

So awesome. And I hate E21's...

[LuckyHenriksen]

Thanks :) As for the springs, I am keeping them a secret until I find out if they actually work lol. And I do want some singles :P

[Steven_Anderson]

Nah, I have been talking to that guy though. It is currently too rich for my blood but I will go check it out one of these days

You mean a few long ass weekends? :P

if your struts are shot like mine were, you can get the stock coils off with some spring compressors without undoing any ball joints. And no offense, but I don't think those springs will "slam" it.
