    Remember that time you lost your wheel bolts?

        Good job Willy. Very good job.
        I got them for Willy, and can get them for you too. Send me a spider-gram.

            Just a small update, got the camber plates installed. I took a chance on ordering some E21 specific plates from an company in Poland, with the assumption that they would bolt right in since the stock rubber top hats are identical. They were $140 shipped, and fit perfectly.



            Now the car doesn't have cracking top hats with weird positive camber so I can drive it around again.

              I found mine on a kind of German craigslist. Had a guy I know there check out the seller. OZ. ET12. Repainted the centers with SEM Trim black.

                  I've always seen these but have been skeptical on the life of the bearings. Curious to see how long they will last

                              I love how the old colorado orange paint is peeking through on the quarter panel.



                              Need those two rear red reflectors that go above the bumpers?

                                Thanks, it will be at the Cars and Coffee this Saturday. I was able to source mine from ebay, they were cheap since I wasn't looking for anything in pristine condition.

                                The interior is pretty trashy, but the recaros have made it a lot better, I'll have to grab some nice pictures of it somehow. Rust repair has stalled because I decided to drive it around before winter when I would hopefully tackle it then.

                                The car was repainted at one point when it was in a side impact, the respray wasn't great, you're seeing the respray chipping away to show the original paint.

                                For the reflectors, I'm actually taking them off. I pulled the two off the rear when I replaced the bumper. I've just been too lazy to pull the ones off the side, want them?
