Some more love for the BBS bodykit 
I think it looks fantastic without the side skirts ect. So potentially, it will be similar to the one above, in just having the front bumper!
Also, this weekend I went to the Classic Car show at the NEC, while I was there I decided to join the BMW Car Club of Great Britain.
Membership is £40, but hopefully the discounts through specialists should recover that pretty quickly
I doubt they will be too thrilled with my plans to go "low", seeing as they're very much the restoration to OEM type, but I doubt I will have much of a "project thread" with them anyway.
Still weighing up if I should buy a welder and do the work myself, or send it off to be welded. I need to add up all the bits that need doing, and work out which will be the most cost effective.

Welding is a skill you can use for the rest of time. The E21 probably won't outlive you... Just sayin'.
Also completely convinced by the front bumper! Crack on.

Prefer the standard one. BBS is fake lows.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Okay, so some money has been spent tonight.
Still not on the ignition system, but f**k it, who needs that eh?!
Anyway, the purchase was: Coilovers
GAZ Golds to be precise. Very few manufacturers make coilover units for the E21/E30, and fewer still are sold in the UK, GAZ are pretty much the only option, and despite their poor rating on here, they are highly regarded on the BMW forums.
Also included in the sale are some RPM Camber and Castor Adjustable topmounts.
Both products can be found below:

And some photos from the seller:
Just need a clean up really.
And some library shots, because details
Can't wait

Car is in need of lots of other work...Throw money at lows.
Love the approach to this

LOL.
You know me.
They're a great price, and as per the bodykit, I couldn't let these go as they would've been snapped up within hours.
Typical that expensive bits come up for sale, just when I need to be focusing on other things!
There's no rush on the final build, so if it takes a little longer to finish, then so be it.

Yeah, I still need to see your 5!
+1!
Just costed up how much those GAZ Golds and topmounts would have come to, had I gone for them new.
The struts have to be 323i ones, as the coilovers are too big for 316 ones, so I would have needed donor parts, potentially from Germany.
It all came to £1480, not including overseas postage for the struts, or UK postage for the coilovers. Including postage, I bet it would have been getting on for £1600.
The ones I've bought seem like one hell of a bargain to me now!

Should have bought Laura's wheels!
You can't put shitty Lensos or similar on with the genuine BBS bumper. That's like wearing f**king plimsolls with a fine hand tailored suit.

I still think that banded steels in 15" made to look the same as the standard wheels would be awesome.

love it
leave it stripped, wack a cam in and some twin 40s instead of shitty bike carbs and win, shame your not looking into using it proper for a hero car tho

Was going to ask if that was Winston's old winter hack, but I'm sure he had an estate or at least a 5 door.
When are you buying one Jon? You can't like the Trophy that much!! Lol
LOL @ the faux millionaires saying genuine BBS are the only way to go or nothing.
The banded steels look brilliant tbh, they would need to be exactly the same as my current ones for it to work (obviously not 13's though!)
Anyone know if you can have banded steels with a chrome/polished lip, and silver painted centres?

Lol. They way things are going, I'll be getting something comfy. I'm broken.
Like this?
