I did all the stripping so it brought the price down, cost £600 in the end.

iv got the same problem, iv got a leak on both sides, a small trickle of water comes through the speakers and under the dash, but only when it rains hard. I posted a thread about on here and the solution seemed to be that the dash had to be taken out. So before you fit your dash back in i suggest you get that leak sorted. And when you find it let me know

I'm not sure, but that little round one looks criminal. :lol:

I think it's too old a style for an e21. I've got one on my 02 though. (just my opinion obviously)

Hi James,

Looking good - did you reattach the front mud flaps? If not and you still have them & what will you take for them?

Ta, Simon.

Hi everyone it's been a very long time! It's just about all back together. I had to stop the build for various reasons.
I'm putting the mud flaps back on, sorry mate.

I'm looking for a rear exhaust mouth if anyone is selling one.
