very slow build of a very fast e21

Hi,

I've been building an e21 for about 8 or so years now. I should've just finished it before starting my minitruck project this year, but if i applied logic to the things i do to cars/trucks, id probably not do any of it. so anyway, now I've got two projects on the go!

Anyway, part of the reason its taken so long to build is that I change my mind on what i want ever year or two. Lately i've been yearning to get this...



onto these...



and getting it reeeally low, so theres been a bit of this...



and am in the process of installing these...



and these...



on the inside i was going to go with these...





but have now decided to just have front race seats and a cage, so i can do more of this, but at much higher speeds...



the engine bay looked like this...



but now im stealing that motor for my minitruck and will be replacing it with a motor with more go and less show.

the exhaust comes out the side of the car like this...



and sounds like this...



here's where i got to last year...





and ive got plenty more to cut out still before i start welding new stuff back in...

ok hopefully thats enough to start my build thread for the little old e21. i do have a full build thread over on e21.net/forum but i think that site is locked for non-registered people so am going to post updates on here and there from here on out.

as i said at the top, its a slow build and im not in a rush to finish it, so dont expect frequent or periodic updates
