Dynamat looks dynamite! :swiss
Nice. Looks like a swarm of bees.
Hahahaha, thanks guys!
How am I just now finding this thread? As if my want for an E21 weren't high enough..... now I really am going to hunt one down! Beautiful car. I will buy one before the prices shoot up like E30's.
I found one for you, just figure out shipping. It looks to be a real 320is despite what the guy thinks is just a 320i. Also, it doesn't need a camshaft - likely just a broken rockerQuote:

Edit: if it is a 320is don't say anything... $300 is the steal of the century. A mere part out for the desirable 320is parts is $1000-1500

If you can get it to San Diego I have a place to store it for you
Edit: if you are moving here you need to make sure it's a 50 state car and not a 49 state version or it's gonna be a huge PITA to pass emissions. Send me a message and I'll help you out
That's quite an offer! I appreciate that greatly.Quote:

No problem. ZHP should be fine as long as you haven't done any crazy mods
Next layer done. I just need to finish with the carpet and put it back in

Great job, JP!
Thanks!
Looking great. I had no idea you could have a HU like that fixed. Where'd you take it?
Thumbs, iPhone, Tapatalk.
These guys are great, Scott told me that he did that same thing with another Alpine once for a customer with an 80s Porsche (even wired in Bluetooth), so I decided to give it a shot. He's testing it and will let me know later today if it's worth fixing it or notQuote:

JP the car is looking nice. Will you have added weight or lost weight after the deadening replacement?
Sent from my GS3.
Hahaha, so do I have to source one of the shitty period correct BMW radios?
I added 4lbs, but I would've lost weight if I replicated the factory sound deadening. The added weight was the stuff I put under the backseat.

I replaced the straps on the Recaro's

Recovered the parcel shelf, but with canvas instead of the carpet style original stuff

Put 95% of the interior back together

Loving all of it!
Awesome job JP! Thanks for sending me a few text pics showing your awesome progress! :thumbsup Amazing work!
Thanks gents!
I love the interior!
Thanks Derek! I'm so happy I happened to stop by my buddies shop before anybody else saw that 320is, otherwise he probably would've forgot to tell me about it and it would've been sold
Wish we could always order cloth in BMW.. the .000001% of us who love it.
Haha the radio comment was funny. My 944 had one. The 928 had the equalizer right on the dash. I loved that.
JP, the car is looking phenomenal.
Sent from my GS3.
Derek, I completely agree. If anything the herringbone is a super rare option and I was surprised to even find it. Usually you see either the Recaro's in black or brown vinyl, or a boring cloth.
Justin, thanks! It looks like I'm finally getting around to all the stuff we talked about when I first got the car and didn't want to spend the money on. Hahahaha...
Waiting for the coil over install pics...
Sent from my GS3.
Hahaha, that's gonna have to wait until engine swap. The only E21 coilovers worth my time are GAZ out of England and I'm not gonna spend the money to have them shipped here when I plan on ditching the E21 suspension geometry altogether at some point in the future.
I will probably end up having TC Kline make me a custom setup as I will have E36 running gear up front and E28 in the back
E38s came with LSD? That's nice news. Still looking forward to the GAZ install.

Painted the throttle bracket

I'm thinking about painting my mirrors... maybe just gloss black for now
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...9AD7608D9F.jpg
I think Group 2 box flares might be necessary when I do the motor swap ;)

Edit: this E30 M3 style box flare looks better!

wow, that looks incredible.
I can't find any pics of my old boss' 320i he was planning to boost...besides this ugly pic.

Dude... freaking IMSA M12 powered car with Group 5 flares :droolQuote:
