Retrims are always good, but I would prefer retrofitting a pair that looks period correct. Great match with the new seats.

[e21-Mark]

The new seats look awful and don't suit your car at all.

I'd be willing to help you out and buy them though from you though.

Best seats I've seen in an e21 so far.

[problemchild75]

Yeah I hate them. How about £50 delivered. Hear mod I've done I'm really pleased with them.

[bumface3]

Nice seats.

[gazzab1978]

i thought they would look good in your car, they look awsome

[problemchild75]

Gazza I owe you a drink.

Stuck new rear beam in this afternoon. it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I should get the e12 lsd back from being rebuilt next week so I will soon be mobile again. Some pics of the beam and the std beam. The old beam is for sale. No rust only done 30k. It's slotted and been powder coated about 1k ago. It's a bit dusty in pics but when clean it's better than new. Just need to get camber bolts.

New beam looks good, interesting to see the difference between the original and the modded version.

What have I been up to........ Well obsessing over diffs and interchangeability between parts. All sorted eventually and e12 diff is being re built as 3.91. . Then I was never happy with the second engine that was fitted so eventually I found a decent low mileage lump that I've heard running that I will it next week. (3rd time lucky).
With time on my hands waiting for parts and having nothing to do I decided in my infinite wisdom that listening to just the radio whilst doing my European road trip in June just wouldn't cut it and I needed iPod capability.

As usual this all got out of hand and below are the pics so far not finished but you get the idea of where it has gone

Not much bass in the e21s std


I will need to balance out the front stage







Baffles


Sealed up and sound deadened

Pods fitted



Need some power amps will be mounted on boards under each seat


Alpine head unit has been fitted and I'm waiting for cdt components to arrive from USA. I will get pods covered in matching vinyl after rally and I will post some more pics as and when I get more done. Love it or hate it I've done it lol so no going back.
