Bravo......BRAVO!!!

As many of you may know I ended up selling this car. Anyway all the good parts were swapped into a really clean black shell I picked up. The car is going to a local guy.

A couple pictures of the swap over...

Still dirty in the shop, in progress.





Outside for the first time.


Still somethings to do before it is fully done. But damn I am going to miss this one. More than the e30 m3 I had.

I guess it means it's time to get to work on this.

sad face....

[jakeb]

Thinking about selling this.... If anyone is interested send me a PM or email jake@classicdaily.net

Either in it's current shell....another super clean black shell...or into something else.

Got something else on my mind and I can't keep them all.

Fuck.... that sucks. At least insurance $ should help you get a new bumper plus some extra left over.

[jakeb]

yeah it's a pain.... I should be able to get $1k from the person at fault. Gotta wait and see...

^ bummer sorry to see that. I used to think getting into accidents wasn't as bad as people made it seem... then someone plowed into my car and totalled it. Total pain in the butt, sorry to see that.

[jakeb]

bummer.... A bit of traffic back up and someone was really close to me and then someone rear ended that person which in turn slid into me...

poor euro bumper




It's not tooooo bad, bumper is toast for the most part. Back of the trunk is pushed in somewhat and the truck lock doesn't release as good as it did before.

Could have been a lot worse. The other two cars had zero damage... probably thought mine was just a POS anyway.

[jakeb]

thanks! It is back on the road now... headers are not fully welded but I wanted the car back. I REALLY missed it. It sure is awesome! Love this thing

That is an incredible build, I love the car with the wheels and the cardinal interior, then you go adding a monster motor and all new bushings and suspension. You have created an amazing car.

[ACHTUNG]

Gonna be tight but I think they will...

Fingers crossed!!!

[F34R]

I love those headers! Getting wrapped or coated?

[jakeb]

Gonna be tight but I think they will...

Looks excellent Jake. Do you think 1 7/8" primaries will fit?

Long tubes are long gone.
