hey guys

[Eddy B]

hey guys, firstly let me say im not a VW guy, but the reason im here is because you seem to be the only active Austrian forum for German metal. my passion is with BMW's, i worked as a BMW tech for a number of year before switching to Mercedes for a short time before getting out of the trade and going to uni to study mechanical engineering.

My current long term project is a E21 318i (82) 5spd in alpine white, big plans on little funds is pretty well it but im getting there slowly. the goal i have for this car is to be a tarmac rally/time attack car, stripped and caged with about 220rkw on a serious budget. its currently running e30 L-jet, 323i four wheel disc brakes, an adapted cooling pro SR20 tripple core radiator and a (i built it) cold air intake with Pod filter. it has a BBS front air dam and 13x6" BBS basket weaves, its de chromed and the interior is partly stripped. Best of all its my dd. the things im working on at the moment are building an exhaust and trying to replace thos 13' weaves with something more like 15x7 in about 13et. then comes some serious suspension and drive train modifications and then the engine gets a go.

Hi Eddy,
Any pictures of the E21?


Probably a tough croud becasue this is a VW specific forum.

[Eddy B]

yeah i guess, i joined to meet like minded people and try to track down some parts, i was only joking bout the tuff crowd. how do you upload photos?

[Eddy B]

looked up FAQ's but no dice, mustn't have enough posts yet

[Corey_R]

Host the photos on photobucket or imageshack etc, and then link the photos here

[Eddy B]

na still no luck, im thinking there should be an insert image button in "advanced" mode like most forums but its still not happening.

here is some links (that might work)

these shote were taken after I resprayed about half of it over summer, fixed some dents and rust along with a dechrome and other stuff, its not cut back or polished in the photo (still isnt polished in real life) but you get the idea

[Corey_R]

On photobucket, select the 'IMG Code' link, not the HTML code links

[Eddy B]

ok

[Eddy B]

Sounds Like a good Project Eddy i used to Own a 1990 E34 BMW 535I which is currently for sale was a fantastic car. My dad is in love with Beemas he has had them for over 25 years now.

[Eddy B]

cool, i guessed there would be other BMW owners on this forum, most people seem to stick with cars from the same region.

e34 are a nice car especially the 535i's and the later 540i's, unfortunately getting hard to find a good one these days as a lot of owners dont want to spend the money they need in up keep. good luck with the sale.

[robbie]

Our one Was immaculate and it had money well spent on it and for its age 1 owner since new and only 150,000kms when we sold it late last year its currently for sale. though i would post a few pics eddy here it is.

[Eddy B]

nice looking car, i bet it was sad to see it go.

tuff crowd.

You'd be used to it living in Margate! Where abouts? My old haunt.
