Fantastic car buddy

Thanks mate.

Where's your battery located?
Love the car, have an e21 of my own, nowhere near as clean as yours haha!

Battery is now located in the boot & thanks.

damn this is immaculate!! keep it up man!

Cheers mate.

Wow, that looks great, the attention to detail is incredible! I think the best thing about this car is that you drive it to and from shows.

For some reason the meguir's sticker looks at home on your car.

Thanks mate & yep its no trailer queen.

Just a small little update on the e21, been looking for a original rear window louvre for the car for some time now & out of the blue some guy on the e21 forum messaged me saying he had one for sale & asked if i wanted it, of course i couldnt say no.

Auto-plas Rear Window Louvre.





Fitted to the car with some different wheels i was trying.









Shame the wheels were 15s as they wouldnt fit on the front.

The car wasnt coming out this year due to having the e36 on the road but i changed my mind when i got a email saying that a new show in the southwest called BHP Fuel Fest wanted it as one of their indoors spots, so couldnt really say no & had to MOT & tax straight away.

The night before the show setting up.









And a few from the day of the show.

Like I said before this car is so beautiful, inside and outside. Just Wow, a perfect example of an excellent E21.

So a lot of you might know or have heard that I had a fire back in July at my home in the garage, which was caused by an electrical fault in my other Bmw M3.
It was a double garage & im afraid to say the e21 was parked very close to it, I will now let the pictures do the talking.

How I found it.







Yes that was my louvre still on the car.







The inside & boot got left off with only a few plastic bits melting & a light dusting of smoke.



I will need a new roof lining though (which I was going to get anyway).





In the daylight it didn't look so bad.







And then a day of steam cleaning it came up even better.







Now the insurance have paid out its all good to go & get the car looking better than ever.

Obviously a full repaint is needed which ive always wanted to do over one winter & now is my chance. :thumbsup

Also as you can see there is a few bits I need so if there is anyone willing to help me out with what I do need I would be very grateful.

1. Rear Bumper
2. Rear Lights
3. Any Chrome for the windows (I do have pop outs for the rear to fit but they also got slightly damaged)
4. Windscreen
5. Windscreen Wipers
5. Side Mouldings
6. Front Indicators
7. Tool Kit Plastic
8. Vent in top of dash
9. Speedo/Instrument Cluster plastic front
10. Roof Lining
11. Interior Light from centre of roof
12. And a set of standard wheels for me to move the car around while the Bbs's get a refurb
13. Probably more bits will be needed as the engine & brakes haven't been checked over yet

Oh yeah & if anyone has another Louvre lying around. :wink:

Any help to find or sell me parts would be much appreciated.

Thanks Ian
