One of these days.....

That is a great direction to take :) And I am glad you want to keep it white.

Seems like you're a bit focused on the p/u price. How much total $ do you want to spend? I can tell you first hand that a stock 02 slays the stock e21. If it's about the e21 aesthetic then buy an e21. My suggestion would be to save $3000 and pick up a decent square taillight 02 or e30 325i.

I'm not too hung up on the performance. I've had plenty of fast cars. It is more of an aesthetic thing for me. I really like the look of a cleaned up E21. Plus the bay is big enough to swap some muscle into should I want to.

[Twelvizm]

And it's official, I'm now the owner of a white e21. Now the long process of a light restore begins. It's a great starting point. Thanks again Steve!

[LuckyHenriksen]

Sure :) Can't wait for you to get started on it :)

If anyone is interested in following the build, you can find it here:

Sub'd. I'll follow an e21 build. I've never liked the rear end, but, sometimes they get done up right and I can't help but smile.

Oh wow, congrats. That was quick ;-)

Yeah, the US bumpers kill the lines. I'm still debating on what temp fix to do until I get euro bumpers. Tuck the bumper or remove it completely, that is the question.

Vs. stock:

Search out the factory recaro seats and the Sport steering wheel that came in the S-pack models. Both make the driving experience much better than the bench seats and school bus steering wheel.

[Twelvizm]

I've got my eye out for the steering wheel. The sports seats look nice, but I'm a big fella. The bench seats are pretty comfortable. I'm planning on having them re-apholstered eventually.

[LuckyHenriksen]

I have a delicious box of parts for you A :)

I say cut down the factory bumper then tuck it, so you still keep a slim line of shine but most of it is gone

[Twelvizm]

Awesome! We will have to arrange a weather-friendly date to meet up.

Maybe the Brake-Fast GTG?

Mos def. I just got the front kidney grille in the mail today. Would you be interested in a complete 5 speed swap kit? I might have one for you.....
