As was clear from the title, I bought another grey car (the second grey E21 btw). I almost made my heart on it and I was trying to cure myself with others “monkeys”, but you know your friends are here for wake them up:
The car came to me in this state:

Of course the first thing was to ditch those ugly wheels and side light:

New garage new problems:

Obviously everything was going too well, so I had to buy a new carburetor and rebuild the distributor

Of course after just finished all this the alternator shit itself:

Finally, after 8 months, I can drive it, so I did my first show with my friends:

(they’re available as models, DM for info)
Annual MOT (almost not passed)

Christmas present from my parents:

Recaro v1.0

Delete those ugly side markes
![](https://live.staticflickr.com/7851/33273584128_299037e2df_b.jpg)
Remade the Recaro’s mount, much lower and much better
![](https://live.staticflickr.com/7818/33273590068_85ebed5313_b.jpg)
Made a trip up in mountain to drive and eat Pizzocheri with my friends

In the meantime I finally decided and bought some coilovers (I was waiting for H&R to release the P&P system, but I’m glad I didn’t waiting more…)

So I called my favourite welder and in one very hot sunday we made that happen (well, he did most of the job)

![](https://live.staticflickr.com/7831/47148878551_8032ee9be4_b.jpg)
(You may recognise him, he’s here with a nice E36 that sound like a fart-canned Honda…)
Anyway, the result is pretty disapointing, is a great coilovers don’t get me wrong, but the car is high as fuck…

And after 3 wrong hub, I finally managed to mount my favourite wheels ever
![](https://live.staticflickr.com/7820/47256868121_bbf0df9c63_b.jpg)
Did a custom wood booth floor because the car never came with the original one

And went to the best meeting ever!
