315 '81 Orange/Golden ReBorn

Hello every one,

I've been posting for some time and decided finnaly to show my E21.

It all became two years ago, when I bought it for 150Euro. It had engine fault. So I bought 1.8 block and swaped it. Then fix suspension a bit, did the bottom anti-rust and was driving it until this winter.

Now I have a plan to make it fully restored, dropped, white and with m50b25 engine.

Here is some progress. Enjoy.

Looks like an early 6 series mirror, i.e. 633 i think, looks familiar..

I think the later 6er/7er mirrors look much better, and fit with little modification.

I'm just going to strip and paint them first. I know how I want them to look but if they turn out shit they were cheap enough to bin anyway. I'm not fitting them still chrome.
