Yeah, its a f#%king job, I did it last yr. without any special tools.
Just grab yourselve a big iron pipe (or breekijzer incl. pijp) to get it down. You cant do it by yourselve.

A search for balljoint splitter on this forum might help, for example this recent thread: http://www.bmwe21.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... t+splitter

So it's not sure if the screw type works (ehm fits, see comment in the above thread and I can't remember how I did that last time), otherwise the fork will.

Well, I have some great news. My little E21 became roadlegal this morning! Last night we did the final tinkering and some last check ups. Then it was time to get it MOT checked and it passed!
So this morning I insured it and it was time to take it on the road. And boy what a ride it is. First time driving a car like this and I well enjoyed it. I will take it to work next weekend, so it is time to test it some more. Now I can start thinking about the outside, get it cleaned up, wax and polish...
And after that time to refurb the interior, I'll keep you updated with pictures and I will take some pictures on the road a.s.a.p.

Gerwin (on happy new E21 driver)

My car became mobile under its own power today as well, great feeling isn't it!

Congrats on getting the car going

Hello everyone, I still enjoy driving my little BMW! It is really fun to just cruise around but don't have to be ashamed at a traffic light

. That 6 cilinder runs really nice and the sound is fenomenal. To keep you all happy I took some quick shot's when I was driving around:

I hope to do some more work after my tests that I have to pass (at school).

Oh, and this is one of our other cars I really enjoy driving around with. Took this picture a couple of weeks ago. It is a Subaru Impreza WRX from 2006

Lovely car indeed!

Gerwin, I like the Sbbbaru

but I really dig your 320/6!

Good luck with it and keep it alive

. I guess you could fit old blue plates without being pulled off the street by a cop... so that should be on your "next to do"-list

Hi Gerwin,

I really like your 320/6. Hopefully you have as much fun with your car as I do mine, I think the 2 litre 6 makes an amazing sound. I have just one silencer on the end of the car and it's very loud. Your steering wheel looks just like mine except mine is silver spokes and yours appear to be painted black.

Nice 320 indeed!

as I was reading something came up

It's a '78, and is already has the plastic mirrors? Did they changed the doors?

Nice color, nice wheels, enjoy!
