After not giving her much tender loving care for almost 2 years, i'm giving her the attention she deserves. Actually, i did quite a lot of mechanical work in '09 to prepare for puspakom checks n owner name transfer. Sorry, no pictures for those previous work.Well, I bought parts from fellow forumers, window glass (broken because of stone throwing children), bought from eau-rouge, and solex 4a1 spare carbs from e21manic :top: . Where are you guys!, how's your cars? Been so quiet the e21 forumers...Now, I'm doing it myself mostly for mechanical bits (DIY), except for welding and paintwork which will come last. As I'm in Shah Alam and she's in Muar, I'll be doing the work on weekends. Hopefully i can update this thread every weekend. And another thing, my budget is small. I'll prioritise which will be done first, but I'll try my best to do good quality work. Your advise are welcomed. Before the spring change to original. The ride height is wrong, too high.<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4023/4318623944_2c99665fcf_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Smooth body, not wavy, the chrome trim on the door has been removed.<img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5069/5609070853_bec103fe6e_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />what do you think? still ok :top: ? hehe<img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5261/5609653874_b70a99e5ef_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />normal rust spot on e21- the b pillar<img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5267/5609072593_82ea3ee04f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I have not manage to find a good mudguard, if not this will be repaired<img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5190/5609652254_7b38a9c7a0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />springs I bought from a "potonged" e21, so this will restore the ride height, the ride on the car is harsh,perhaps they were from a e28.
