so the e21s been outside since april, because i needed space in the shed to do the m3 motor, and then we were gonna clean up the shed.... well, thats finally happened(mostly), so now theres enough space to get her back in there!!

also started her up for the first time in ages(think i last got it running when we pulled the car out), running a bit rough/misfiring, but stale fuel and dry carbs will do that. need to drain the tank and throw in some new plugs and such sometime. next thing is to get this damn diff sorted so it can move.

hak, that shed needs to be gutted. floor painted a marbel black (gangsta) and a hoist that lifts the car to about neck height.

would be an awesome shed for it.

decided to have a play with the e21 today, put the quick ratio rack back together, when i originally built it, the pinion gear was machined incorrectly, stopping me from putting a circlip in. i left it out at the time, and it felt ok, but oncein the car, it had some light up and down movement, which resulted in freeplay at the steering wheel.

so i ended up pulling it apart ages ago, machined down some of the pinion for the bearing to slide on further, but the grooove for the circlip was still too small. today i decided to just thin down the circlip a bit.

all back together, and it feels good. will know for sure once its in the car.

boring picture

and i cleaned all the random bits of junk out of the interior, tried putting the glovebox back in, but some wiring and the relays get in the way now, will have to trim the glovebox a bit, but thats no biggy.

need to rip the seats out and redo the floor, got some surface rust at the front, from when it was sitting outside for so long.

really cant wait to be driving this thing again

Now you just need a E30 M3 driveline

did some more today, removed the old alternator bracket and worked out new bolt lengths, then i made a new bottom spacer for the alternator bracket, because i cant find the other one!! also worked out bolt lengths for bracket

and decided id redo the wiring above glovebox.

this is how it looked when id finished it last time, just a big bundle of wires in one spot. its because i hadnt done them to the right lenghts, and was a tad over wiring at that point.

so i stripped the tape off today, and will start shortening them all maybe next weekend
