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.
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.
Put a seat in and mike and I will push you around the block
And she's home
HOLY SHIT DAVE!
You've been busy in the time that I've been pretending that I don't own a project car.
I think you and I need to have a sit down talk about parts and what not.
Looks awesome man I cant wait to see videos
Welcome! Glad to have another e21 around!
Welcome! Your cal looks great. There are getting to be a few e21's on here, yours may be one of the few that drives. m10/4spd?
I resent this John! Mine will see the road again... Someday ...

That is on the list of options, I think some of the guys might be buying a shop welder. Or I might bite the bullet and buy the whole thing myself...
No new pictures, put the car up on jack stands so I can start disassembling and getting ready to pull the motor.
I found a source for floor pans, planning to order those today or tomorrow.
My shopmates have issued a 200 day build challenge to get the car done by the campus Automotive Enthusiast Club fall show...
Gonna be a lot of sleepless weekends to pull thAt off but it's doable
I do actually want to run carbed for a time. Because carbs are awesome!
Let's talk price ?
Do work!! Looking good and it is good to see it being done the right way.
Thank you!
I don't know about "done the right way" but it's going to get done and it's going to be obscenely fun
Body is mostly stripped... Gotta get degreaser, button up the inner fenders, order the cage, paint
Almost done with the KBS on the front end, I've started priming at sanding the fenders and trunk lid. Need to get the hood down, kbs, then scuff it and spray the first layer of primer
