Re: Healeyneils Baur
Its a 320A, done around 120k miles, and has been in a garage since 2000. Bodywork is pretty good, just seemingly needing two rear arches and possibly a sill. Plenty of the electrics dont work, but it hasnt been investigated yet. Unfortunately I cant start working on it until I finish my current project, but its safely tucked away

Re: Healeyneils Baur
Over the last week or so I have dropped the back axle and petrol tanks, so that I can start on the ( rather more than anticipated) welding repairs. Biggest surprise was that its had sills done previously, and a few nasty bodges too. Amazing what underseal can hide !!

Yup, sad surprises hiding underneath all too often. Curious how she will drive and handle once finished!

Re: Healeyneils Baur
Not really. Firstly, my subframe was for a 6 cylinder, my M42 engine came from an E36 coupe and the "arms" were too wide for the E21, so I had to get ones from an E30. When the engine was in the right place, I had to fabricate new supports for the rubber mounts ( which were original E21) The gearbox support came from an E30 325i ( I believe) which only required very minor adjustment to fit. The good news was that the E36 propshaft fitted perfectly, only needing a new centre bearing support to be welded in
