Back in another bimmer - e21 build

[NegativeCamber]

you want to know something funny....the husco armrest is mounted backwards....i had mine the same way. you would think cups in the front, but the diagram or ad that shows the armrest, has it mounted the other way around. nice work so far.

sorry if this has been answered already, what steering wheel is that? I love it

Its a Momo Futura if I remember correctly. I've only personally seen two including this one, the other had a darker stain on it. I love this one and probably will never let it go haha.

So... its back from the dead lol. Thought about leaving stock... then thought about selling it... then decided to keep it and buy more parts haha. Yes its still in 4x4 status... yes I know I've been slacking lol.

So tomorrow I'm going to a local deal and decided to mess with it for the first time in awhile. Removed the back deck, cleaned it up and painted it black as it was driving me nuts.

It had some kind of dust on it.. no clue what but it turned it like tan



Then I took a vacuum to it



Then I painted it black and reinstalled



Next up was swapping in black door panels, before I had some with cloth inserts but got tired of them.




Now plans for the Winter. I'm driving the car from MO to GA for Sowo 13 so I have a good list of crap to do lol.

Putting a rebuilt motor in
Swapping in a LSD
New hood (Current has a dent and terrible paint)
New fender (rust on the current)
Delete A/C
Put in Non A/C console
Steering Rack Bushings
Drop.. probably just springs for now sadly
Wheels, probably stealing some BBS RA's that my dad has for a little bit
New Carpet
...probably other shit I'm forgetting lol... Oh yeah... catback too lol

i can't wait to see this at SoWo13

More interior stuff! I know everyone is waiting for me to drop it but that will be coming later haha.

Got a Non A/C console so I can delete all the AC crap. I also think it looks cleaner and has a more old school feel which is what I'm going for.

Your e30 looked really good, this one is getting there slowly but surely, and its a great build.

[HighGravityWagon]

very nice build man, can't wait to see where this goes. what kind of paint did you use on that parcel shelf? looks really good!

Thanks man, miss that e30 all the time but this one is way more fun to drive.

I used Krylon Fusion paint because I had a couple cans laying around. It was satin black and I did 4 coats, one from every angle. Thanks btw!

Well probably the first outside shot in a long time... still thinking about what to do for suspension. Also I'll be ditching the black mirrors and going with something older and chrome

[Franswa]

nice car, what does it look like now ?

[99sil-teg]

Build has been killed as I bought a 2002

[Franswa]

that's too bad ... this was coming along great ... so you got rid of all the e21 ?

[99sil-teg]

Yeah slowly, my dad still has one of his, still have some parts though lol
