new project after 17 years

Post by beemerman »

hi guys,

will post pictures asap!!

i love the e21 so much i bought a red 323! i recently from ebay(some of you commented that it was a pile of shit) however i wanted to bring it back from the brink of death, so i have just started to customize this 323!.

the plans :

dismantle, weld sand and paint ( maybe a darker red )might flare all the arches up and then roll them ready for the wheels
take engine and sell
install new 525! engine
then start to customize interior ( black leather )

hopefully upgrade brakes and a couple of other bits along the way, will need you guys to point me in the right direction and help with technical issues!! and hopefully i may make some friends along the way!!


thanks
beemerman
