It's not common to a see massive, no-holds-barred restoration of any E21 in Malaysia. Its even more unusual to see the same vehicle owner also busily involved in the massive restoration of his E28 B9 Alpina and other classic BMWs at the same time. Initially, this old darling E21 323i was brought to us for a proper metalwork restoration, followed by proper no short-cut respray. Simple job. Revelling in the excitement of seeing his E28 Alpina taking shape so beautifully (refer to E28 sect in this forum)the owner has decided to also embark on a more massive resto of this silver E21. "BBF" reminds me of the era when the classic Toyota KE30 (with steel bumpers and 4 round lights) was launched by Borneo Motors!!!! I can see Ganesh grinning now, cos his KE30 also underwent massive work by the same guy chosen to do this E21 below.

Today, I called this car owner a "BMW Santa Claus" because he always bring loads of new and old goodies to my place, while we restore his classic BMWs. His car trunk is always filled with things that makes most classic BMW lovers grin:28:

Sourcing of new and used parts have begun.

Brought by BMW Santa Claus today....

Ahhhh...talking about "old skool", I remember those days when there were only 2 Malaysian motoring magazines.
a. Asian Auto by Chips Yap.
b. Auto International by Shahriza Hussein.

When I was in Form 5, I read an issue of Asian Auto that tested the E21 320i supplied by BMW Conssesionaires (ahhh...that classic name), where the reviewer claimed a top speed of 185kph that was quite a big deal those days!
