Have bought a Subaru Impreza a few months ago and that took all my time. Will start again on my E21 in a few weeks...

Thanks! I still have more than 100 pictures from the progress. Will post more When I find the time. I'm currently doing the last bits. Want to take it to the sharknose meet! Tomorrow I have to do some modifying at the bonnet. That should be the last thing to finish it!
