Project 88 325is, vert replacement (because racecar content) -- R. I. P.

Justin B · 02-12-2011, 10:45 AM

Well I haven't heard much of anything from the ins co, I have a feeling it will be fun getting any sort of decent amount for my car. The lady who hit me was certainly older than I am, but on the police report under id, it just says ca id. No dl number, and her dob is listed as sometime in 91. Highly skeptical, to say the least.

I have had this shell for some time now, I got it off of "intro" here in town after he parted it out. The timing belt idler pulley collapsed on him. I will be putting in as much stuff from the vert into this as I can, suspension, engine etc. She'll be getting a full cage here in my shop, among other things...like a diy custom paint job I've got in my head, and plastics. I so need a better hood, pass fender and ds door. Hello, picknpull.

Here's few snapshots before I start tearing into it.

So I'm about to pull the m20 boat anchor out, but here's the status on the rest if the car. Trust me, I have a plan, of sorts.

Justin B · 02-13-2011, 04:59 PM

Well we didn't have my load leveler here (loaned out) nor chains or straps, so we made this work. It did, beautifully. Lol'ed the whole way.

Justin B · 02-13-2011, 05:00 PM

The block is junk as far as I'm concerned, so that's why I didn't mind so much

Make It Easy.

Make It Simple.

I pulled my M20 out using head bolts also...lol. Can't wait to see what you've got planned.

Justin B · 02-15-2011, 06:29 PM

I have a tendency to over do things, and this is no exception. Problem is, I need it to drive, so the only time to gather fun and odd parts for it will be while I still can't tear into the vert. Once I get money and that is handled, then, well I hope I have a bunch more pictures of unusual shit. The m52 then goes in. Trust me, this car will be a total mashup of coolness imo. An idea or two might bring out the cases of haterade, but if I make it work, itll be, um, unique. No good clues for you guys till I have parts in my hands though, as I did with the painless harness there.

Finally got the sunroof out, I couldn't open the damn thing to get at two spot welds along the side of the opening, so the process of finding them really did a bang up job (pun intended) effin up the roof itself. Oops. Gonna go at it with some cave man tools and a couple blocks of wood to get it back closer first.

Get ready to be sea sick, lol. Lil wavy...hmm

Justin B · 03-02-2011, 09:13 PM

It's a lot straighter now. Getting my front A pilar tubes bent tomorrow.

Justin B · 03-07-2011, 09:26 PM

So today I finally got a call that the other insurance company is infact claiming responsibility on the claim. Let the games begin getting what i need for the car.

Justin B · 03-09-2011, 08:25 PM

Insurance adjuster or appraiser, whatever, will be out to aee my wreckef cabby tomorrow.

That and I give in, since it will still be a couple weeks till I can order this stuff but am dead set on the pieces....i present my dash and seats to be:

LuckyHenriksen · 03-10-2011, 04:01 PM

I want that seat

Justin B · 03-16-2011, 06:57 PM

Ill order those parts once insurance cuts me a check. They sent me their first offer yesterday, well that's when I got it. It uh, could be better. Not forgetting about my smoked hellas, that got hella smoked in the accident. I sent them an email back last night, I didn't expect to hear back today, but hopefully tomorrow or friday they offer something better...
