...It’ll get done. Haven’t had much time to work on the E21 in a while, but I’m making an effort to try and keep picking away at it a little at a time.
With any luck the body work will be done this year...

Looks pretty :)
Are you going with a stock look? Or maybe something that’s lowered ever so slightly with moderate fender flare?

Fenders will stay stock because I don’t plan on running wide tires. The skinny tires make it fun and easy to slide around at low speeds. It will get lowered tastefully (a.k.a. still functional) because I enjoy attacking corners and not bottoming out on things. I will likely modify the front subframe while it’s out to help the car maintain proper geometry when I lower it.

That sounds awesome :)
If you like, you can also run modern electronics/wiring/USB port through it for charging and stuff while you have it stripped down.

Yeah, I haven’t thought that far ahead yet, but there will be some re-wiring for sure. Battery will be relocated to the trunk, and there’s a good chance it’ll be an EFI M10 running megasquirt... which will mean a custom harness.
