[LuckyHenriksen]

Thanks errone. If 1552 finally send me the adapters I ordered I will mount up a set of baller wheels I have :) they are actually destined for the E30 cabrio but I will have to test them on the E21 hehe

[scabzzzz]

I like your style OP!

[KamakaziX]

Wheels and drop naowwwwwwww

Agreed.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Hahah I know! I am trying to trade some parts to a friend, going to have him help me do some suspension mods haha

[Butler]

DUDE! Whoa that front bumper, sport lip and polished valve cover did wonders for this old goat! She looks beautiful.

With a drop and wheels, your not going to want to sell it. haha

[LuckyHenriksen]

Thanks! Haha

Nice progress! Love the build so far. You've motivated me to get into the same kinda thing as soon as my room mate gets rid of a lot of his non-running projects!! Fucking range rover guys..

[LuckyHenriksen]

Yep, this is the slowest car I have ever driven lol. I got the sticker from Mucci, a member here. They are excellent quality.

As for the Henna, I really wanted to because of the color but the condition of the interior was alot worse than the black car, and I was feeling too lazy to swap all of it over :D

Plus the Schwartz car already runs lol

[Falconer]

WHERE did you get that sticker?! I absolutely need one for my e12 project.

I love e21's, we've had a couple in the family; I owned an AW 320is, slowest car ever, but tonnes of fun. Yours is looking great! Keep it up.

That's awesome man, love threads like this, but I woulda dropped everything and built up that henna the second I brought it home. That things begging to be cleaned up! You should sell the black one and restore the henna, no question, in my irrelevant opinion ;)

Another small (but successful) update!


I finally did work and installed the sweet Ansa exhaust system that came off one of the parts cars. It isn't much louder than stock, until high in the rev range, but it beats the old rotted muffler!

Gack. Old one came out in pieces









Also, installed the polished valve cover I had. Traded a guy some parts for the polish work. It makes the rest of my bay look like doody lol

Before:



The goods:



After:




I still haven't messed with the suspension yet, I am too damn lazy to screw around with all the ball joints :(

And here is a parting shot of the cars currently in my stable

Standard North American bumper on the right, my creation on the left
