Nice car Horst!

LOL on top of the list even, thanks! Like your E30 M3 as well, looks clean too! You added the convertible fortifications to the front struts I see? What did that do to handling?

to be honest - not much but looking good and must have
Maybe due the fact that I already had the strut bar installed I could not see / feel any difference.

Agree, with a good strut brace I wonder if this will add significant stability. By the way, a more rigid (1 piece) strut brace will do even better, yes to an extent that you will notice the difference. Had the type you have and that was ok, but the Hartge replica works much better:

You have a very beautiful e21.
I really like the speedo conversion and I was planning on doing something similar myself. I was wondering where did you put the signal pickup (hall sensor) it needs?

Hi,
unfortunately I don't have any detailed photos of the pickup (need to make some soon), but attached link shows a similar solution for a 02.
Simply make a holder for a E30 speedo pickup sensor and a chopperwheel (9 teeth) fixed to one of the diff output shafts:
