I will admit I never really liked E21s till I saw this project.

Thanks!

Most people don't because they look like this:

Looks great JP!

Devlin, any older BMW project car can be pricey. My former E30 project got just a little out of control.

Thanks! I'll pass on the US bumper, it's busy right now doing something else and can't be bothered. Now I just need to find some time to make brackets and order the bolts for the corners...

Thanks Brett!

I have to say I totally agree with the comment of how expensive an older Bimmer can be. I have easily spent hundreds of percent more on both old cars than they initially cost me to buy. Spend more at the start for a project where somebody has either got bored or ran out of money, but did it right. Personally I like working from a clean slate so I can modify how I want... but that means more work and $$$ in the long run

See, the front bumper has the very important job of holding the tarp down on the 75
