few more pictures off what needs doing
and things id like to change
took the e30 interior out it sat too high and didnt fit too well
managed to find a very good black interior wich will be going in soon
need to take the black paint off the front and rear bumpers to see what condition theyre in
id prefer chrome

thanks for the coments guys. The e30 interior didnt quite fit right,sat about 2 inches too high so my head was bangin on the roof didnt wana mess about finding e21 rails so just changed em.big shout out to mic at pristine bodyworks in essex he sorted me out a near perfect original black interior and some other bits 2 ,great bloke realy helpful. Im in the process of seling the old interior (just waiting on the buyers cash).guna take some pictures of some other stuff (engine bay,boot,interior) and will post em up in a bit.
allso any sugestions on steering wheels will be greatly received as the wooden one gets a bit slippery and i dont realy fancy losing it on a corner.

bits that need sorting out
underside of the bonnets a bit scabby.
underside of rear bumper is being slowly eaten by rust
a few marks on passenger door
inside the boot is a bit scabby too
thinking of taking it to mic at pristine bodyworks in essex for a bit of paint

Was nice and sunny today so got on with the rear bumper
it was nice and solid behind it
got the paint off and got it as shiny as i can
both mounting points were rusted to shit so cleaned them up
half the bumper is quite rustsy and dull so i sprayed the bottom half black again
looks better
