Mainly to help fund my e21 build. Because I started from scratch the costs have spiralled and I'm determined to try and do things right first time. Unfortunately, when my old car caught fire, the insurance pay out didn't come close to the real world cost involved. In fact, I daren't total it up incase my Mrs ever found out. If I could afford to, I would keep the e12 too, as nice ones like this are rare, but the e21 comes first. ![cloud9](/inc/images/cloud9.gif)

Good to see that you chose Inka orange - the best colour for the E21. ![cloud9](/inc/images/cloud9.gif)

WTF...THat's awesome, how did you lose the rear doors and are the front's still standard?
From our research it was converted in the early 1970's to a hill climbing special. We are assuming that since two doors were rare here and expensive, they converted a usable 4 door to a racer at a much lower cost. Weights 1100kg so goes like the clappers. Rebuilt from July last year to now.
12:1 compression, blueprinted, balanced, triple webers, forged pistons, lightened flywheel and many other engine mods. Still in development but now very competitive.
Here's our dyno run to 7500rpm. Go to 1.30 mins, put your headphones on, grab a beer, turn up the volume and listen the engine sing! When I race her the engine sound is intoxicating and has me tingling and grabbing more rev's the whole race.
