Hi all first off love the site been watching it for months. been in love with the e21 since my dad had one when i was 7. finaly found one in november 09 with no rust and went for it. havnt stop grinnin like a monkey ever since
(yes my face does hurt)
here it is as i bought it

few more pictures off what needs doing
and things id like to change

took the e30 interior out it sat too high and didnt fit too well


managed to find a very good black interior wich will be going in soon


need to take the black paint off the front and rear bumpers to see what condition theyre in
id prefer chrome

orange indicators


now clear,+a new 323i grill badge

got an alpina front spoiler wich i will fit if i cant find a bbs one
and realy need a new grill this ones a bit battered from the bonnet wich needs aligning scraping it when you open it

Liking the update...what happened to the old seats? you sell them?
Car's looking good...keep the pics coming

why did you replace the E30 M3 interior? i didn't like the E21 seats very much. i now have E30 318is sports seats and i much prefer them!

car looking nice though

thanks for the coments guys. The e30 interior didnt quite fit right,sat about 2 inches too high so my head was bangin on the roof didnt wana mess about finding e21 rails so just changed em.big shout out to mic at pristine bodyworks in essex he sorted me out a near perfect original black interior and some other bits 2 ,great bloke realy helpful. Im in the process of seling the old interior (just waiting on the buyers cash).guna take some pictures of some other stuff (engine bay,boot,interior) and will post em up in a bit.
allso any sugestions on steering wheels will be greatly received as the wooden one gets a bit slippery and i dont realy fancy losing it on a corner.

Just washed and hooverd

some pics of the Engine bay,exhausts

bits that need sorting out

underside of the bonnets a bit scabby.

underside of rear bumper is being slowly eaten by rust

a few marks on passenger door

inside the boot is a bit scabby too
thinking of taking it to mic at pristine bodyworks in essex for a bit of paint

nice looking motor dude..
mick at pristine know his stuff... mines booked in with him as well now.

shite car cover has done something to my paint



what a bastard looks realy bad
probably claim on the insurance

scraped the paint off the front bumper

looks much better now but its a little dull

Thanks dannyboy
soon as i get my claim sorted will be asking mic to do a full
respray (same colour)

Anyone know what wheels these are

i know theyre bbs but are they e30 or something

Was nice and sunny today so got on with the rear bumper

it was nice and solid behind it


got the paint off and got it as shiny as i can


both mounting points were rusted to shit so cleaned them up


half the bumper is quite rustsy and dull so i sprayed the bottom half black again

looks better
