    A Noob - Hopefully Buying My First E21 Tomorrow

    Hello everyone

    I'm hoping to buy my first E21 tomorrow and am probably getting a little ahead of myself joining and posting on this forum but I'm hoping / praying the sale goes well and looking forward to becoming an active member of this forum moving forwards - albeit probably with more questions than answers / solutions to begin with, but I'm a fast learner ;-)

    Anyway, just checking in and saying hello at the moment.

    The car I'm looking at is a 1978 E21 316 1.8. I probably shouldn't have already fallen in love with the car before viewing but I'm completely smitten...oops!

    That's all for now, ridiculously excited, butteflies, probably won't sleep tonight...but mostly just ridiculously excited!!!

    Cheers all
    Steve from Meath

    PS The car I'm hopefully looking at is linked below. I have my checklists all sorted, but if anyone has any last minute tips for the viewing and test drive I'd really appreciate any pointers. Back soon...with an E21???

    Welcome Steve!
    Car buying butterflies are fun. I've also found that car selling butterflies are equally fun but don't worry about that now.
    The E21 is a fun car. Usually easy to work on and the "Legion" gets more exclusive as time goes on.
