bumper diagrams...

notice number 4 in the diagram...this is the inserted rubber...item number 51121834876...sells for $93.52 on the OEM website...

in the front bumper diagram...the insert is item number 51111834874....and sells for $76.82 on the OEM website...

notice...in the forum sections for e21...there is a lot of talk about re-working the sheet metal for rear bumpers...apparently some holes require filling...and places where the federalized bumper fits there are spaces of some sort where the rubber fits...check fitment of rears before sending to body shop...

new stuff is so pretty!!!

ok so i'm not at the place where its zero to 60 mph in 2 weeks yet...but i have the engine set up-right and the plastic is off of it...sitting on its crate...i am ordering a sach's clutch kit this weekend...and hopefully i will pick up the transmission soon from anthony...i love working with parts that are clean!

last night i took all the parts i have assembled and put them aside...i need to inflate the tires move the car more towards the middle of the garage...and then assemble the clutch, transmission and engine...replace the shifter mechanisms, and then set it into the engine compartment...

i want to get the car back onto jack stands...i want to finish the remaining sanding and body work...(fender?)...i also need to install the heat resistant foil where the header is...

i moved most of the parts into organized and layered piles...exhaust, intake, carburetor, headers, turn signals, side moundings, buffers, compound, valves, rocker arms, newly refurbishment valves, euro-bumpers, (rear & fronts), window glass plastic molding, and rubber seals for the front and back, NOS rear brake light lens, chromed door handles, right side view mirror, rear headrests, and a petreti steering wheel...

measuring twice before cutting once . . . some assembly required!!!

ok so i am working on getting the parts i have assembled over the winter months gathered together...by kind...resurfaced pressure plate, weber carburetors, bmw intakes (ported, refaced/trued), euro-bumpers (front-rears), side bumper moldings, side trim, fuel pump, electrical wiring, front clear turn singles, etc.
