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

[Eecen]

Technically speaking they have coilovers from the factory...just not adjustable or fancy like GCs.

AFAIK no1 makes a real "kit" for the e21, at least not on this side of the Atlantic. But if your crafty w/ a welder etc you can fab up a set pretty easily. Dave-gerous' thread comes to mind.

Looks like you're having fun putting things together.

Nah I haven't ventured into '02 territory yet. One of these days...

So I buy and sell/part out old Bimmers as a side job. I have a lot of fun doing it and make decent money.

You might not happen to have a running 2002 lying around?

[LuckyHenriksen]

Thanks everyone! I would love a front euro bumper, keep me posted! And I don't have another crack free dash, the one in my parts car is terrible. I hope to have some more updates this weekend.

Oh, JBird I would love a pic of the abandoned one you see, maybe I can buy it lol

[Eecen]

Crack free dash? Have any other crack free ones lying around?? Mine is fubar'd. I also wish I had those seats...

Have fun w/ her

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.

I have a spare front euro bumper I was planning on selling eventually, if your interested.

[RainierHooker]

Schweet! Maybe you can give me some motivation to actually do something on my E21...

[Jand3rson]

I like it! I love E21s, would love to find a clean one someday and really do it up properly.

[Simon S]

Mmmmm.. car pot.

[LuckyHenriksen]

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

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

I see that e21 all the time riding the max, but my favorite max passer by was the red 635csi that was in the back lot at the ford dealership in Beaverton.
oh and steven you should go check out the two e28's next to my house in hillsboro they have been for sale for a while both are 528e's.

[JBird]

Awesome! Maybe I'll get to see it sometime if we ever come over to your shop again. Looks like a great find. Maybe you can find a new hood for it. There's an abandoned e21 near 185th right on the MAX tracks. It's in a camper storage area in a trailer park. I see the poor old e21 everyday on my MAX ride to school in the morning. It looks like the hood is open a little and like it's been there for a while.

Maybe I can try to snap a picture as I go by.

I've always wanted to flip BMWs! I bet you have so much fun tearing into each new project/job. I'm sure you can flip them pretty quick, it looks like you have nice taste.


I love the whole car but the sticker bombed wheel and recaros really did it for me. Looks sick.
