Hello all, my car is almost finished so i'm placing some pictures here..
It start's with an 1980 320/6 that i've bought a few months ago.. I've driven a E30 cabrio for the last 8 years but due to some problems with the Belgian 'keuring' I had to put it to rest for a few years.. So i bought an E21 with the intention of using the E30 parts. The car was from the first owner with only 89.566 km on it, the car was in a very good shape apart from an drowning engine and some little rust spots...

I like the looks of your E30, I don't think these wide wheels and lowering suit the E21, but we'll see the end result here
It's not my style, but your mods look well done, good luck with it and enjoy
And what was wrong with the E21's engine? It had only done ~90,000km
And can't you use the speedo from your E30?

The 320 carb engine had a 'kapotte koppakking' (can someone translate that for our English speaking friends please?) but apart from that it drove very well...

A broken head gasket.
So that wasn't the reason you swapped engines? Because that's easily replaced. I assume you wanted more power
