Did the engine work OK or has it started making terminal knocking noises? It's not really been properly looked at so may actually be fine.

Very terminal noises and dropping oil!! but the engine is coming out asap and my gutless spare 316 engine is being fitted to keep the car mobile for the moment ( this was always a part of the plan!) still enjoyed driveing the e21 home after so many years....edd

Gaz coilies turned up so started bolting them on once swapped the springs for some that were hard enough. The ones they supply were way to soft!

Hi Mark
Are those real Minilites - I only ask as someone else makes a good copy- is it Compomotive?

Bob my oppo in racing used to swear by Minilites- he used to work with Roy Pierrpoint on their race Camaros in BTCC in 70s- they were the only ones man enough for Camaro Torque (apparently)
and then came along Revolutions................

BTW love that rear spoiler!
