Body is mostly stripped... Gotta get degreaser, button up the inner fenders, order the cage, paint
-
Oh yes to the wheels!
-
Oh sweet baby Jesus !
You know there is so much body filler involved in that it makes me cry.
That is if bondo dust weren't clogging my tear ducts and I could cry
-
It's on both sides, they had side marker lights at one point
-
Did some work over the weekend, burned up my grinder stripping the inch of bondo on the ass end of the e21, then relaxed with some beer, scotch, and delicious food at Mikes sisters grad party !
-
Sounds like a great trip!

Ok after a ride in Mikes e28 I'm chomping at the bit to get the motor and trans together and back in the car... (after fixing the floor and all that nonsense.)
So I need a clutch and flywheel since the ETA motor I bought off mike was an autotragic.
Pelican and BAVauto want roughly 5-700 dollars for a clutchkit and flywheel so I've turned to ebay.
Before I pull the trigger I'd like some reassurance that I'm buying the right parts since I'm frankensteining parts from different years together.
Motor is out of a '84 528e which is what I've speced the clutch and flywheel for.
Trans is a midyear 85/86 GT260
Pretty sure it should all match up....
Here are the links I'm looking at
May have just found a clutch and flywheel on car-parts.com fingers crossed
I want my car back!
-
I can't wait !

I found my dash !
-
Next year!
But maybe the e21 will be done for October Fest in New Glarus...
-
Do work!! Looking good and it is good to see it being done the right way.
Thank you!
I don't know about "done the right way" but it's going to get done and it's going to be obscenely fun
-
The dash will go back after I add some tubing for structural integrity.
John you know Mike and I aren't as meticulous as you are, we'll just remember where everything went right? ok there isn't a chance I'll rememer and we definitely didn't label them. Most everything in the dash however will not be going back. I'll be making a custom gauge cluster with lots of aircraft style switches, because I can !
Snap, this car will be driving and painted by the end of the summer
-
Dash is out, brake booster is out, steering column is out, tail lights are out.
Still need to get the heater core.
Finally down to just a shell, going to make a trip to steel mart soon and get the floors patched. Then order the roll cage next month.

Goodness it's been a while, I've been slowly removing paint and bondo.. Gonna take it down to bare metal and build it back up. I finally got an argon tank for the welder. So after commencement I'll be patching the floors. Picked up a 2.7 eta from mike, full harness and ECU, connected to an auto trans which has already been removed. Fighting with the torque converter though.
so if anyone has an 885 head laying around... I want it
I'll get some pictures over the weekend
Mike and maybe John are going to come down this weekend to help me get the 2.7 eta on a stand, grind down some more paint and pull the dash.

Went into the shop planning to clean and organize my pile of parts ...
Ended up wrestling the fenders off. Thankfully they were not welded on, just a nasty combo of some kind of gasket paste and rubber under coat...

That is sexy. My roundells are flaking off so id be very game
