What did you do to your E21 today?

I didn't do it, but the chaps at Bluebell bled the brakes and clutch so they work properly. The car passed its MOT

All I need to do is get the MOT certificate on Saturday morning (am at work again tomorrow so can't sort it until Saturday AM), go and buy a tax disc and I can drive it home

Congrats!

Thanks chaps.

Paint still needs proper buffing and a few bits need touching up but I'll get some pictures etc on Saturday.

Wish I wasn't at work tomorrow, but sadly it's essential.

Well, last night I was so tired from one of my most difficult days in work this year, and returned home so late that I was about to decide not to go to that BMW club meeting...Finaly I decided to take the E21 and go (as I thought that a quick night drive might be the best medication to take stress away from me...) But when I arrived, the guys were about to leave...I aught them in the parking space, just minutes before leaving! So no photos this time...

However, I will try to take some in the next meeting, if I make it, and post them in the meetings section !!!

Got to check race cars fluid levels, tyre pressures and throw a bucket of water over it and stick numbers on, in readiness for Goodwood sprint tomorrow.

Thanks.

Fitted my Motorsport steering wheel and it feels way better than the wheel that was fitted before.

Motorcycle carbs arrived in the post too.

Think it's about time I stopped buying wheels.

Trust me, I don't. However, I don't drink, smoke, go to pubs or clubs or have kids to pay for anymore. I've had years of being skint and driving old sheds. I do know I'm very lucky though but if you were to see my left leg I'd swap it all in an instant.

Soon as Dave, the mechanic who does my car, comes back from holiday I'll whip them off and mail them up.

Today I drove my Baur :popcorn

Basic pics in the Baur rebuildathon thread. I need to adjust the exhaust as it is fouling on the propshaft joint where it bolts to the diff, then I need some new tyres, then an e21 sump - e30 one has already scraped on a speedbump, then.........
