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

All back together now.



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.

Looking great.

How was mirrors modified?

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

Spot on mate.

what about fitting the PFL mirrors on the doors and blocking the existing triangles?

I dont want to fit anything to the doors mate as i dont like them,these will be fine for the look im going for.

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.






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






And another one for no reason.



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



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



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 ).

I lick the 17's

Thanks mate.
