So, I've done next to no updates for such a long time and my apologies for that. Apart from a varied career path for the last couple of years the honest truth is that my heart went out of doing any more and I figured selling it.
I've had a few mechanical problems that prevented it from being a daily reliable driver. The first being a cracked sump because of the behemoth of a speed hump going in (MD's aren't actually going to even register this as a problem, sat in the Range Rover Vogues) and a broken drive shaft spline which had to break on my way to London.
Anyway, both these are now sorted - the only other thing that's really bothering me is the state of the drivers seat. I really will need to retrim it (or the new owner).
I had a good drive today and for the first time in years - it drives like a dream. No weird knocking noise on takeoff, which was probably the driveshaft spline deteriorating and lots of nods, smiles and thumbs up's makes me realise what a unique - yet driveable car these E21's are..
Some photos of the exterior/interior and the mods some will be aware I've made, but I've not really broadcast.

Mal (Mals custom classic) the very pleasant bloke who did Nas's respray had a go at converting my manual sunroof to electric using a combination of E21 and E30 parts. It works a treat.

This ones being asked for a few times. My E30 dash and console in an E21. Not everyones cup of tea I know and I need to think about how to mount the glovebox, but apart from that I like it because with the other period stuff like the steering wheel and original recaro trim it all seems to work in my opinion.

Drivers seat is in poor condition, need to think of something for this!

Rest of the interior quite a nice place to be I reckon

Couple more pics to end. Not as glamorous as some of the E21's on here, but looking back so many years, I had a vision of how I wanted this E21 to look and perform and at least I got there for the most part.
