Thought I'd give my '21 a good clean after a long time. Next up is a service and new sills...

That will look the daddy with some nice wheels on mate. Quality car!

[MRE21]

Thanks mate, I saw these on "Wheelwhores" but the dude's number was unobtainable?! I will keep looking...



In the meantime, I have ordered new panels and plan to have the jacking points and door skins resprayed etc. I need to get rid of the rust! I have the single lamp conversion ready but i broke one of the lamps and have ordered replacements. Then coilovers? But not sure what to buy?

[DrGonzoPOW]

Woah, those wheels are reet blingers. Bet there going for a fair old whack ?? Think people go for Gaz coilovers usually

[MRE21]

They are 50 cent specials but available in silver also and approx £350 (apparently) without rubbers. I guess Gaz will have to be the way forward. I need to go and sell my butt though! can't say I would get much for doing that! LOL

[e21-Mark]

Gaz do a street version of their coilovers which are a bit cheaper than Golds but perfect for your needs. www,raceperformancemodified.com

There are a few people looking to buy coilovers so might be worth seeing if a ''group buy'' is a possibility?

nice cool car, how did you get the rims so polished?

[MRE21]

Hi mate, the car was garaged for 13 years of its life (until I bought it! ) As for the rims, I use chrome polish and a regular buffing keeps them shining!

That is looking good, can't get enough of these at the moment!

So you didn't sell her then...glad to hear it!

What are these wheels called they are lovely, ?

[uwbuurman]

must say that those steelies look nice on your car aswell! No need for alloys

[MRE21]

Thanks for the input guys! I am planning to restore the body work first, getting rid of the rust and general maintenance (reverse switch and fit a nice e21 motorsport steering wheel) As for the wheels, I will keep them on and will probably have them refurbed at some point. I won't change the springs yet as I am considering air ride but need to do some research first (and hide the receipts from my girlfriend! LOL So far she thinks I have spent a monkey on it but that is not the case as you guys know!

Raseeda if you go to the Wheel Whores website there should be more details- I did ring the guy selling them but no answer. I think he does different colours etc. I had a quick look and he is not advertising them anymore.

So you didn't sell her then...glad to hear it!

Hannah,

No I became too snappy when I had it advertised and thought it would be better to keep it! I went with Darren from the forum to a welder for an assessment and boy does it need some work!
