So i popped to see the car over the weekend & this is how it looks.

All back together now.

Image

Next the whole underneath is getting a coat of protection while the petrol tank is away getting welded up, then the inside welds will get nicely cleaned up so a new layer of sound deadening can be fitted & the new carpet can go straight in once its been made.

Also today these turned up.

Thanks to a mate who saw these & Fritz Bitz & let me know about them, they are e23 mirrors modified to fit the e21 so they should look alot better than the plastic ones that are on it now,plus they will tie in nicely with the rest of the chrome.

How was mirrors modified?
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

The shape of the base plate is slightly different, so would require some re-shaping to get a good fit.

Just another little update,went into the bodyshop last weekend as i was told that the car was ready for me to put the interior back in & the get the car mot'd.

How the car looked when i got there with some nice new sound deadening.

Image


Image

And it how looked when i left with the seat fitted back in.

Image


Image

And another one for no reason.

Image

So the car was booked in for mot yesterday so today i went in and collected it done & ready.

Image

Once the car was home i adjusted the coilovers back to their normal height & then gave it a quick wash in the dark lol !

Image

I also took one of the 17s off of the e36 to see what it looked like in the freshly painted boot ( one of my show pieces ). :wink:
