Reviving a Classic: The BMW E21 Restoration Project
First buying the car.
Got the car home!!
Original Interior
Original flooring(AKA Flinstones car)
New floor pans welded in.
Original M10 Engine
Repainted valve cover
Repainted intake manifold
After inspecting I found 2 broken rocker arms
So, I decided to engine swap it
Started sanding and grinding the engine bay
After it was smooth I put body filler to fill holes/gaps
Got the new engine from a 1996 BMW M3
Installed ITB’s to accommodate the High hp
Installed new headers for different turbo orientation
Replaced the thermostat, water pump, and oil filter housing
Candy red Powder coating process. .
Got the subframe powder-coated and ready to be installed
Started to weld a hood for the turbo to have air come from the right headlight
Engine is dropped in and engine bay is painted
The finished product of powder coated turbo.
Original rusted suspension.
New fully customizable coil overs with camber and toe adjustment.
Look at that fitment!!
Welding on brackets for intercooler.
Limited edition Carbon fiber Mishimoto intercooler. Still needs to be adjusted.
This is the concept prototype of the car when finished, I'm a long way from done but, trust the process
