hahahahaha!!!
Thanks! If you couldn't tell yet from my assorted projects, my philosophy is that it's better to do it right than not do it at all.
I really want this to be one of the nicest E21's around as they are the kinda hated bastard child of the 3 series. Everybody just glosses over them and jumps to E30 :(
Time will tell how it turns out, but I think the E21 is gonna be the next car people want to start collecting. If that's the case I will have already horded a bunch of dope old school parts that will just appreciate in value :)
You just provided an opportunity for me to post it. It was from today's earthquake. They were doing the news. That was his initial reaction. It's just too perfect, his charisma is unique.
Sourced 323i front calipers
Noice!

Frankenstein is awesome
Thanks gents!
Sorry JP but if the E30 is already starting to appreciate in value as a collector car but the E21 hasn't yet, I don't think it's going to. lol
Regardless, yours will be one of the nicest ones around when you're done with it.

They actually have started to appreciate, but going from $1000 to $2000 is not as exciting to see as M3's ridiculous prices despite similar percentage increase ;)
Euro bumpers ;)

creen that rust JP........
They'll get rechromed, finding them at a reasonable price was the bigger issue
Got the carrying case for my Alpine

JP,
I just went to GMCC open house this morning and had a brief glance again at my old boss' 320i.

Are those Ronal's on the turbo?
Jesus, I couldn't see in the other pic but those are rare as hell... those look to be the 3 piece magnesium Ronal Racing Turbo's

Decided to clean up the core support before putting it back together. You can see the 'persuading' I had to do in order to make the early euro valence fit.

It's fine for now, I just wanted to clean up the surface rust and have some measure of rust prevention until I actually paint the car.
Looks good

Looks great.
Thanks guys!
Great work JP.
Keep up the good work. I'd love to see the car in person. I'll be in SoCal permanently next month.

In case you're wondering what the old sticker on the cover over the blower is, it's bolt torquing order

Well, the Zender isn't for E21... it's too wide. I walked up and tested it on the M5, fits perfect. I guess I need to sell it to an E24 or E28 guy
Awesome. What's next?
I need to find a BBS spoiler I guess
