Angelina the $500 e21

cut more of the spring in the front!!! rake that thing

[DragginWagon]

If the goal is to get low, why spend a shit ton of money on lowering springs/coilovers? Cut springs increase in rate by cutting them too, so it gets low, stiffer ride, better handling. I've cut springs for years, compared to harsh coilovers I would take cut springs any day.

[QUOTE=ajnardo;1012284]just spend the 300 on struts and springs./QUOTE]

The car cost $500 if I recall correctly so would be worth 60% of the cost of the vehicle just for coilovers. Cut springs to get more low. On a side note the car looks great and makes me want to get a e21 to compliment my 2002.

Thanks man. Yeah, job searching so I can get money to do stuff. Pretty slow build but I am excited to see how it looks by the time I am out of high school.

What it looks like now. Will get better picture when the people in the other apartment go away for a while.







See the scratch that was made trying to move. :P
And for the people telling me to go lower in the front. this is what keeps me from doing it. It has been ground down a lot from scraping. Still trying to find out what to do with it. I need to spend some time and play with it.

She is a pos, but I like her a lot. Can't go anywhere at the moment though... Need 15mm spacers. I am stuck bumming rides off friends and family. Haha Thank you though!

Those look like exhaust clamps. Get someone to weld the exhaust and then just cut them off.

Alright cool. Thanks man.

[DreydonT]

Just thought I would take some pictures. Getting spacers special made from a family friend for spring break. Hopefully this baby will be on the road soon!

[DreydonT]

I think the spacers will make the wheels look better(or the fitment). Can't wait!

The issue on e21's is lack of aftermarket support. They don't make a spring that drops more than 1.5 in which isn't enough and there are no cheap options for a good drop. Nothing like e30's. can't wait to see where you go with this.

[DreydonT]

Oh I know. Most of the stuff I am doing will all be custom body work. I am thinking of bags. Just alot of money. If I want some coilovers I will have to make some. But yeah thank you. This summer I am heading up to Boardman, OR to do some surprise work. (; Can't wait to see what I have planned for it also.

[93foxx]

thats the worst case of reverse rake i have ever seen

[EuroNut]

My e30 started as a $700 beater, so you've already got me beat...
This has a lot of potential, keep it up!
