Hey fellas

Iv been away for a few weeks and noticed exactly how much shit you guys actually post, i spent a good portion of 2 hours catching up on material you all had posted. But enough of that, iv done a fair more work on my little baby since the last update, so here are some pics of her painted and ready for registration.

More pics on the way. I still have the front BBS bumper to paint tomorrow and then it will be ready to get registered.

Enjoy!

Now your car looks great mbuus :D

But there is one think I dont understand, why didnt you remove all trims, bumpers, rear lights etc. instead of covering them with paper :?: :shock:

:oops: Err yeah about that hehehe, i was really hung over and possibly still drunk. I had taken off the bumper and side trim today and resprayed hahahaha :lol:

I also sprayed my front bumper, ill update the pics soon. Theres still a fair bit more to do on the car, but for the moment im just painting it so i can get a certificate to register the car. BTW i got a another e21 323 manual for spare parts, but its got an aftermarket rotar so it revs till the engine explodes hehe.

:lol:.....Amen Mbuus! I've been away for 3 weeks (hope you all enjoyed the break!), and the amount of enthusiasm here is amazing! I can't catch up just yet as I'm still zonked from 35 hours of flight and transit in dodgy hotels :P.

But, anyway, your car looks great now - nice work! I've always thought that white e21s are VERY underrated. Keep it up, and it will be great to see pics of the weapon in an outdoors environment ready for racing!!

Cheers

Another update, the car just needs front badge and the mould on the front bumper and shes finished and ready for registration. Ill be getting the interior retrimmed in black with nice new black carpet and door trims in the next couple of weeks, not to mention new door rubbers and moulds. Anyway heres another pic with my phone camera. Once my domain is back up i will post high quality pics. Meanwhile... heres an update.

Well i had both the bbs and motorsport bumpers, i felt that the motorsport bumper look far better on a white e21, hence why its sitting on there now 8)

I disagree, but what the heck.. Nobody cares about me - And it is your car... :wink: People have different oppinions, and thank god for that.

BTW... This was NOT a negative reply, your car looks nice - and my personal oppinion should not be counting here...
