Project: BMW E21
Discussion
Some parts arrived this weekend
New front wings, and repair panels for the lower rear quarter.
(piss poor iPhone camera)
Yet again, this whole 'E21 thing' has come up with a pleasant surprise.
I ordered the parts from Wallothnesch, a German company who specialise in old BMW parts. Along with the wings came their brochure, which is potentially one of the handiest things I've had yet for this car:
Parts diagrams for the entire car. Everything is listed, and at the back it's all priced up.
Tremendous

Tonight saw the start of the final push to have the car ready for Saturday.
Windows removed, rubbers, seals and trims all removed. Sunroof and door hardware has also all be taken off the car.
Also, the all important areas are free of any corrosion.
Lower windscreen corner:
The rear windows are also completely fine.
Next few evenings will be busy ones, but it's all very exciting now

Lower valance smoothed off for a cleaner front end:
Bonnet, which is like the face of the moon really, Lee is working wonders on it though:
Repaired lower chassis rail:
Remember the big hole in the passenger footwell? All gone:
Few bits and pieces around the car:
New lower rear quarter:
The hole behind the pedals, all welded and sealed up
New arch to inner wing join:
And a couple of the car as a whole
All very exciting!
I'll go back next weekend to see it again, by which point it should be primed and ready for paint
