e21 sees the light of day for the first time in around 18 months, gave her a quick bath, and took some photos.




might bring the front of the front flares + spoiler up a bit higher



might get the rusty roof cleaned up before shes on the road again







maybe do something with the bonnet too



couple interior shots. *note the lack of speakers or center console* will have to repaint the floor sometime



and finish off the few bits of wiring left



and a couple engine bay shots, coz i know people will ask

[hakhawk]

threw in a spare steering rack today(close ratio rack is getting a redo, the pinion gear was never seated properly and had some movement, fixing that when i find all the bits again), threw both calipers and rotors on and some wheels, then took it off the stands.

in doing so i forgot how low it was and got the tailshaft and a driveshaft stuck under it :p



will drag it outside next weekend to do some shed organising in preparation for the new motor for the e36. might even give the e21 a quick bath, get all the coal dust off it

[hakhawk]

first time the back ends been on the ground in over 12 months!! control arms bolted in pretty good, as with diff(still have to sort out output flanges for other center). exhaust is in a shit of a spot now, cant get the inner control arm nut on.

Those wheels just fit so well with that car. I am liking it.

[hakhawk]

still got lots to do, but working on getting it on wheels again, so i can move it out the shed for a cleanup, and so i can put the e36 in there in a month or so for stuff





gotta find my parts for the steering rack and put that back together next

Where did you get the turn indicator lights? I have been trying to find some like that and cant seam to get any with arrows on them. I like the car a lot!

i got them from one of my work suppliers. not sure what they cost(boss didnt want me to pay for them, so bonus for me).

just did a quick google search, and theres a place on ebay uk selling them

thats exactly what i bought, then i converted them to LED

Looking great man, respect for all the custom fitting and bracketry!

With the wing, what'd you use to remove the old silicone? I bought a 2nd hand BBS wing for my e30 but the studs are missing and I sort of don't want to drill into my boot :p so was hoping I could clean off the old glue and stick the wing with sikaflex alone.. :-/

funnily enough, it jsut rolled off the wing with my thumb. mustve been a cheap ass silicone.

Sick build!
It's gonna be a crude project or a new coat of paint will cover the E21?

i still need to paint the roof and bonnet, but not sure if i want to go fresh paint + gloss, or stick with the satin finish. flares will most likely be satin black.

got a couple days off work, so after doing some other stuff around town, i decided to have a play with the flares.

put the older style front on, cut the lip down so the front spoiler fits



this is with the simmons 16s, was considering 17s, but that ideas out the window might even drop back to 15s yet





and repositioned the back one to where its better suited, then next thing i know id drilled holes in the body at the back :S no turning back now :p
