Looks like i'll definitely be rewiring this bad boy. Not sure if im going to use the Blaupunkt radio that was in it or not at this point but who knows. Here is a visual of the hagardness.



And this will be my temporary stereo for now. (Thanks Steve Jobs)

Well finally got some progress and threw a radio in her. Picking up my euro bumpers tomorrow, unfortunately after i am putting the car away in storage in a 32 car barn. Don't worry i plan on bringing a camera to capture what could possibly be in there since the barn is apparently full once my car goes in. Here is a couple pictures of the radio and how well it matches the gauges. Unfortunately i **** taking away from the uniformity that the old school blaupunkt that was in there brought, but oh well.

Awesome, you color matched the lighting

[D.Brown]

So the dude had some pretty sick cars in there but most of them were covered. There was an old school Mint Beetle, an old Jag, Model T, Mach 1, Stingray, and a bunch of other cars all covered up. Here is the back of an old Volvo and my car.

Whats up Dave, good to see you on here

[D.Brown]

Hey byron, and thank you. I hope to gain a lot of knowledge and inspiration on this site.

looks great so far. one question. what wheels are in the first pic you posted? i kinda like them

[D.Brown]

He had on Alpina Reps bud.

[1badg35]

cool thanks. always keeping an eye out for another set of wheels for the e21 project

[D.Brown]

Absolutely, it's going to be a big learning curve for me with this car. Especially coming from the Honda world.

[D.Brown]

Well since i have a ton of stuff left to do to this car, i figured i might as well get started. Picked up some already color matched euro bumpers for the not so bad price of 200 bucks along with a nice 318 lip that i plan on fitting on for a bit. Im going to strip them down and have them repainted with actual paint and not a rattle can. The rub strip will be getting refinished as well as the other trim pieces. Here's a photo of where they will be stored, under my nice warm bed haha.

[D.Brown]

Wow, forgot about this thread. Perhaps I should dig out some pictures and update this sucker.

Current wheels


New stealthy exhaust to keep things simple. Sounds incredible by the way.



And of course the new steering wheel that for some reason I don't have a picture of. Will probably update that tomorrow.
