Well spent another weekend on the car doing the track rod ends and setting the ride out and found out that one of my rear shocks is weak So got whip of the rear shock and send them off to gaz for a refurb more bloody money.Where does it end with these e21s

Finally got the ride set this morning so I took the car to a local garage to get it all set up.

Once we sell them and buy something else.

Yes nas drives a lot better

Also today managed to source a complete steering column so I can now fix my ignition & steering lock Big thanks to drilla ill be in touch soon about the clocks

Now ive got the suspension sorted next on the list is a bit of body styling ie blackout all the chrome work and get my debadged boot lid painted & fitted im also going to get the rollcage powder coated but unsure if to do it the same colour as the car or go for something different what do you guys suggest

I'm not sure the cage really goes with the styling of your car and I'd be more inclined to remove it?

just my opinion obviously

Obviously because Alpina's didn't come with cages lol.

Id cover it all in leather to match your interior.

good call i was gonna say matt black but leather all the way........



........ayds

I fitted the cage as it helps stiffen up the shell plus in a car thats 32 yrs old that's got over 200bhp I think its a good idea to have a little added safety.

More work to do on the car today all the rear bushes I just know they are going to be a pain

Very nice - clean Car!
