Well, I'm almost 1/2 way done sanding and preping my 81 320i for paint. I'm still looking for an e30 front valance with fog's to add.

My question is, and maybe Al Canuk will know (hint hint), has anyone seen or know if a set of newer power seats can be added to an e21? The car is completely stripped other than the drivetrain now so fab and electrical will not be a problem.

Also, anyone know off the top of their heads which glass sun roof fits the e21? I've seen pics of several with this mod, but I'm not sure where they're getting them. Any ideas?

You can try to use an e30 sunroof. A few were made in glass, and can be a direct substitue for the e21.

Dude why are you looking for power seats? The beauty of our cars are there simplicity. VW seats from an A2 Jetta will bolt in, and I have a set. Also e30 seats will work, but its way too much modifactions to the frame rails.

Also MOMO Street Racers can work, and so can Sparcos and they are very nice.

Later,

Great info, thnx.
and regarding the power seat question, I'm 6'5" and my wife isn't, so having a little extra adjustment really seems to help. Besides, I have to have the original seats rebuilt if I keep em, so it will probably be the same, or cheaper to put in newer ones.
