I bought my current 528e based off two crappy cell phone pics, so it was a good surprise to see how good a shape it was when I picked it up! While its nice for suspension work, body work has to be done on almost any car this age. Also fixing things yourself means you know your car better and won't have any surprises down the road.

Well Freyja finally got into the shop today so I put her on jackstands to snap some pictures.
After getting a look at the floor the first order of business is to strip the carpet to see how bad the holes are.
The motor and trans will happen between the rust repair and I'll keep updating as I make progress to stay motivated.
Without further adieu, pictures.

This thread excites me
You said you were going to do an M20 swap right? Are you going to use a carb!?!?!?

Hi,
My name is Ben,
I just picked up a 1978 e21 that I have been eyeballing for months to build into a daily/autoX car, hopefully take some wear and tear off of my subaru.
It has a mechanically fuel injected m10 motor under the hood in the pile of parts I also have an m20 which I'm debating on slapping a EFI and a turbo or a couple weber carbs.
Here are a couple pictures from the first time I saw it in the fall. Sadly I don't get the nice wheels, but I'll come up with something before spring hits.
Hope to get in touch with some other South West Wisconsin members.
