BMW E21 316

Hi Guys,

My name is Raj, thought it was about time I joined an E21 forum seeing as I am a proud owner and share it with fellow people!

Its a 316 (1.8 carb) M10 engine
Sitting on 15" Rota BM8's

I bought the car in November 2014 and just had a few little issues such as the drivers door didn't open so had to order a new lock mechanism. Since then its recently had a stainless exhaust system installed. I will try uploading the photos of this soon. But here are a few photos how it sits today :)

Hi Raj, I restored your car back in 2011/2012 and sold it to tom. I have all the restoration pics befores and afters etc, if you have any questions about stuff that I did to it don't hesitate to contact me on here or facebook, that car as a lot of sentimental value to me as the restoration was something for me to focus on after the loss of my little sister. I also took my best friend to his wedding in that car when I was his best man. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did during the summer of 2012,
