Well, Mr D...... I do not know what your plans are with this car but it needs More than some TLC which I would not do to it.
I do not think this is an example of an E21 that must be saved.

Don't do it, what you see from the outside is only 20% of the actual rust....

but you can break it for parts....
I took the corner at high speed, came in the ditch, drove straight through a garden, flipped over 4 times and then I lost control of my steering-wheel!

It would cost an absolute fortune to restore and it's just not worth the effort. Buy a better one and break this for parts.

well,it was really cheap. so, how mark said,i'll break it for parts. but the problem is ,that i can't find any E21.. only a few.. this and another one for 500 pounds (but it's not worth those money too) i'll take a look to this e21,and take some pictures. why ? because only rear is rusty,front is pretty good,one guy took out carpet,and you what? it wasn't so many rust.
