Great week for me, i found 4 e21s within 20 miles of my house and managed to bag the main spare parts i need for my next e21 project
The first belonged to Dan a nice bloke who i picked up some e21 parts from, a 316 manual with an m42 swap, lowered with recaros and looked lovely.
The next one i found when i was out and about, was a kashmere metalic early 316 auto. looked standard and had a mint mocha interior.
Then i found another 2 on the next road over on the same day :crazy :banana
I couldnt believe it. One was a 323i 4 speed manual with power steering and a untouched blue interior the other was a black 5 speed manual Baur
with a charcoal interior and unmarked roof
