My new e21 project

[Wyatt Lay]

Color is spot on. Don't like what you got going on with the high beams though.

That looks great! The tyres are fine in my opinion, the rears are spot on in size but then I am one for the chunky tyre look . I really like the color combination you have gone with too.

Put the wheels on today, took some pics at a local spot. The tyres are pretty large for my liking but in saying that I am trying to go for a 'racy' look, I'd love to hear your guys opinions...

you painted the tire. why didnt you use cards?

It was just a quick job and I have some product wich will take it straight off

looks like you got some overspray there...im sure it will just rub out

You betcha!

e21's have a soft spot in my heart.

It's become apparent that this is becoming a slow build, but never the less I shall push on to get this bad boy looking the part! Due to the fact that all my pay goes towards gas for the car, I'm taking it nice and slow and starting off with the wheels. Here's a couple of pics of the wheels while the beautiful NZ sun was out. If you were wondering, I am doing a quick home job and the tyres that are currently on the BBS's will be sold in order to buy some new lower profile tyres. enjoy..

So clean!!
Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Thanks geeza I'll keep you posted.

I have these 14'' BMW Basketweaves and I mounted them and they don't fit. I do know I need spacers, just wondering if you needed spacers or had to roll or pull the fenders.

Sweet man, The one's I have are 15", when I put them on they went on fine, there was however only a small gap between the arch and the top of the tyre so I'm guessing if I lower it it's going to need some spacers and the guards will need rolling. Also When I took it for a spin, the bolts were too long for the wheels, so they rubbed against the brake which sounded like shit, my mate said all I need is smaller bolts and it should be fine!

That's probably because I never go anywhere!

I'm sure I'll see you around at some point!

Thanks mate! Defo man, I'm always driving around northshore/city, weird that I haven't bumped into your vw yet!

Damn that's one clean e21. Hope to see you driving around sometime

I thought the 316 and 318 models came with single headlights. Nevertheless, it looks absolutely gorgeous, especially with those deep dish wheels.

Thanks man! I think the 1979 e21's had only two lights, Mines 82. Once I get my wheels, new tyres and drop it I want to slap some black vinyl over the centre one's to make it a lot more aggressive..
