more pics to come soon, not really going to say much more but the next time i'll take photos of it it will be a pretty different car
done quite a bit to it recently

Welcome aboard slapper

You gotta paint the front grills to match the dark black gloss of the kidney grills. Otherwise it stands out too much.

Looking fwd to seeing the finished product

Cheers

back in feb i was talking bout ideas to make car more track friendly and ultimately a track car (did threads on m20 power etc) well heres a bit of an update of whats been happening for my daily driving car
basicly i had some cash and some parts lying around from the previous e21

around july when things started hitting the fan dropped 2 cylinders, no oil pressure etc on dyno day but it was going to be fixed in the week following, basicly 3 days after oil surge occures while struggling to rev to 4400rpm D: and bye bye engine but i already had got an eta engine for build up only thing was now build up wasnt going to happen for a while since i need to drive around so in goes the eta engine with bilstein suspension, ok car not on road for few weeks get it back get some new tyres :p (they're ok in the wet too) clutch feels like its going out but got HD clutch being made up and was locating a 5spd box. driving home from work that day gearbox goes

so off the road again for a while with 5spd box + short shift and HD clutch also swaybars front n rear,
brake wise i was looking at other E21 but couldnt decide so far so i just replaced solid discs with vented rotors, ebc green stuff pads and braided lines

now shes running a treat a little more poke but still want more, handles well, very grippy and still more to come...
now for pics

momo wheel + original knob now for interior + more domo and shiny short shift

Looking good mate. Although never a big fan of the b45 wheels, these sure look good on your car

Nice work and make sure you post pics of the buckets!
