Saving an e21 320i

I was using a putty knife for the sound deadening. I picked up a wire wheel for the grinder and I'm going to try that out when I stop being lazy about the floor pan.

Can't wait until your E21 is finished!!!

Almost a year later, and I'm bringing this thread back from the dead.

Here's what has been up the past few weeks:

Got the block powdercoated:


And changed the plans for the engine... Again...

This came from Germany last week:


That is all for now.

4bangerfury Did you save it?

[4bangerfury]

2mAn Unfortunately no. It needed too much time and I was just starting the career back then. I eventually sold the rolling shell. Pretty sure I still have all the M42 parts.
Funny story, I was perusing the local BMW facebook group a few years later and saw a red E21 up for grabs, free to the first person with a trailer. Turns out it was the same car, and it was almost in the same condition, maybe some of the rust was repaired. I was tempted to go get it back, but I didn't have the space for another project at the time. No idea where it ended up next.

4bangerfury so what are you driving now?

[4bangerfury]

The daily is either the E46 or the Silverado.
The works in (lack of) progress are 2x E30s, a Land Cruiser, and a Chevelle. I refuse to give up on any of them since it'll be unlikely I could afford them in the future, hahaha. Car parts are a helluva drug.

Need to see some pics!...

Are you guilt tripping me into doing some car cleaning for a photo? It's almost working.
