I thought id post some pix as retro has been banging on about posting them so here after a colour change from white to grey. Isnt finished as alpina grey stripes are going on soon and wheels need refurbished as you can see, i think ill drive the car for a couple months passing the summer with it and then i think ill part company with it by flogging it, to make way for a 911, bit who knows things change...

pix below :-

please dont flog it, and defo dont get a fast volkswagon beetle, looks like a really nice car you have there

I had a dogbox in the car which i got chris to fit when at work and the synchro in 3rd gear was f***!! so i took that box out!, the dbilas i havent fitted yet, to be honest my plans were to Yes fit it to my engine and take the engine out and fit a 325i in my car and sell!!, the 2.7 ill throw that in my garage and store it there!! sounds stupid, but im not loseing my hard earned money completely, and who knows if i find a nice e30 325i sport by off chance and cheap then the 2.7 goes in that but thats something off top of my head.. no plans for that...

Ayds, wheres the pictures of your car, i havent seen it yet, i saw a nice black e21 baur parked up today, well shiny!!..

Austin, all the work and time ive put in the car im just tired, the novelty has faded over the years and i like the one about the Fast Beetle LOOOL thats kool, but i suppose i want something different.. i am in two minds.. see what happens, i mean i have to spend more money to put the stripes..(thats not a problems) but the f*** alloys... i need about £400 more on that and money can be spent else where as car isnt priority any more as it used to be .... the only thing on the car that spoils it is the alpina wheels.. corroded.....

Any good cheap alloy reburshment places???

I lovvvee 911's but they're just so common! I mean, how often do you pass another e21?? Especially one with all the choice ALPINA bits!

Its a lovely car and a credit to you.... Get it finished and enjoy it!!

jim , i remember seeing your car from back in the day......mines not that colour more of a /maroonburgundy-ish

Ayd, You remember that maroon car, f*** man thats a long time ago, police kept stopping me in palmers green all the time and one fat wanker got me out of my car and he sat in the drivers seat and started the car and revved it, he turned and looked at me and said this car isnt a 323i isnt it, i said it is, and he said i had one and didnt sound like this... i just turned away and kept quiet... silly bastard.... windows were blacked out and was fun to drive but i ended its life out side chris`s garage when i stripped it there and a truck came to pick it up, at the time chris was working in a bodyshop for bmw hexagon i think!!... kentish town.. post some pix of you car man!!
