Project: BMW E21.

[Jon.G]

V8 > inline 4

 

[Eddie.]

Retro cool > Generic modern tat.

 

[Jon.G]

German Fwiends?

 

[Eddie.]

I'll settle on that

We can go one further, Southern German Fwiends!

 

[Scrooge]

Coming along nicely

 

[danzel]

Awesome, love this!

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Really like this:approve:

Nice of that other lad to get in touch with them pictures.

 

[Rob]

Do more. I want to read more.

I love everything about this. Ballsy buy and it's paid off.

Haha, I'm addicted to it!

My girlfriend's dad restored a 1954 Splitty a few years back, it was stunning, was a complete job and really looked the part. I always remember thinking 'what's the point?' and 'how can you remain motivated?'

Now I know. Old cars have more character than some people. I love it

EFA.

I've always wanted an old car project. There's just something so awesome about them. Like you said, they have character.

 

[Budgie]

Character with cars is odd.

Imperfections that become loveable. I get it though.

 

[Eddie.]

Yep. It sits there on my driveway. It hasn't been driven in weeks now, yet it looks at me with it's puppy dog face and I know it just wants to be driven!

I think I've gone mushy in the brain, but I don't care.

If you get an E28, Rhys, we will quite easily, be the coolest kids on the block

 

[welshname]

It's not a case of "if" it's a case of "when".

Just a matter of time...unless something else equally as cool and retro pops into my head in the meantime.

E28 it is then.

 

[Budgie]

Can't wait to get mine tbh.

 

[welshname]

You're getting an E21?

 

[Budgie]

You're getting an E21?

Nope. Bit newer.

 

[welshname]

Nope. Bit newer.

How much so? Are we talking retro cool or boring and new?

E30 is the oldest non ///M that's cool enough.

 

[Jon.G]

Are these fitted yet?

 

[Budgie]

'89. 325i M-tec 1 Cab. 50k miles. Manual.

Already my inspiration:

 

[Jon.G]

M-tech 1 is for winners. However Cab's are not.

 

[Budgie]

That's the only thing I'm not 100% happy with, but no complaints. Will be nice to save something for once.

RetroBMW.net?

 

[welshname]

Hero.

I told the parents I'll be getting rid of the fiesta for a 1.2 or something and getting an E28. They said no but were then advised I was just giving them a heads up, not asking for their permission.

I hope to god I have one for CSS13.

He was taking the piss instead of cliosport.net...MONG.

 

[Jon.G]

Oh. LOL. Whoops.

 

[andywa]

Wow in a word mate. Love it. Always been a fan of the 21. I've had 2 e30s. You gotta love the retro.

 

[neil80]

I have an E28 B9 Alpina which is pretty retro

 

[welshname]

Custard.

[welshname]

I don't see any custard

 

[neil80]

Car is parked in a barn so if the weather is good this weekend, happy to prove to you. Have nothing to lie about like some people.....

 

[welshname]

I'm only joking. I do like that. Not usually a fan of alipna wheels but they really suit it.

 

[neil80]

Interior sold it to me but sadly already for sale

Fantastic car.

Need to own an Alpina one day. Must buy a BMW first.

 

[Eddie.]

Very nice mate, really like that.

Become a paid up user and you can make your own thread about it

 

[Eddie.]

So the top nuts holding the topmounts onto the struts have been tightened by the Hulk it would seem.

They're locked solid and won't budge, so I'm going to try tonight/tomorrow/this weekend with an impact gun, hopefully that will have them off, and I can dismantle and clean the coilovers.
