1971 BMW 1600 Project

I'm north of SB dude, by over an hour. San Luis Obispo, which you should definitely be passing through if you're taking the 1 up towards SF

Doesn't matter. I'll find you.

The ride height is perfect now.

I mostly agree, but I still can't help but want to be lower in the rear another 2/3"





Today we did some stuff. Took the cars out. It was a blast. I brought my squad with me and we got some girls, but mostly dudes. But there was this really hot blonde Mom in a Volvo S40 who responded well to my advances. We could have been a thing, but she had what looked to be a 9 year old son in the passenger seat. Ugh, my life was shattered. Her smile was something I'll remember forever. But then I remembered I was in an 02 and I could probably get any girl in Orange County. I soon forgot about the hot mom encounter.

Some photos of me, cars, me and cars, me in cars, and friends.

At an impromptu meet in Huntington Beach. I made it through the entire day, spanning 4 beach cities and I didn't have to put on a single pair of shoes or slippers.




Abby and Mike Carey bought me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ice Cream which was a nice gesture. I think there is a hidden meaning behind the frozen treat, but I have yet to uncover it. I will continue to search for answers.





In Corona Del Mar, overlooking Pocket Beach and some Pacific Ocean. God Bless this wonderful ocean.



And then some more of me and cars. The Inka car is a genuine 74tii that a good friend picked up. I make sure she gets the treatment she deserves, until he is back in town.








A pretty good day. I think I fixed the overheating issue. The car never made it past 3/4 on the temp gauge, and the car was driven in some very heavy stop and go traffic. A few days ago, I drove it for about 20 minutes up to 4k rpm with the rad cap off to purge the cooling system of any air. I think it worked. I will still replace the fan with a higher CFM fan, and if things go smoothly, I should be golden. A good Sunday.

OK phreshy.

It was all lighthearted and fun before, but this picture hurts my feelings.

Fuuuuuuck that's sexy.

Half of the reason I maintain this thread is so you will reprioritize and bring your 1600 back to life. Hurry up with the Porsche carbs and then sell it to me.

I gotta say Danco, you're a character. I hope to meet you in person someday

Santa Barbara. I'm coming. We doing this.

I'd share my feelings with you but that picture stole them too

I need to post more selfies. I often get mistaken for Matt Damon. When I was younger and in jail, everyone would call me Anakin from Star Wars or Edward, the sparkly vampire from Twilight. Pretty exciting time in my life.

Last night was insane. I never made it home and ended up crashing in someone's hotel room. But it was cool because we formally met each other this morning. I woke up at about 6:30am in Newport Beach and figured it was time to go home after we reminisced and said our good byes.

Apparently I wasn't fully awake because I drove in the opposite direction of my home for about 10 minutes before I realized it. I wasn't mad because though I was driving in the wrong direction, I was driving towards my favorite wave in the whole wide world, The Wedge in Newport Beach. So I made a thing out of it and just sat on the sand, watching the body boarders, and did some meditating.

I did a quick body check to make sure I didn't lose anything last night. I found some money, my wallet, keys, chapstick, pocket knife, two phones, and my self-respect. So far things were going ok.

The product of this morning's dawn patrol mission to the Wedge:

Wow, paint made a major comeback. I had no idea the primer came off with graffiti remover!! Insane.

Also, did nobody notice that he is also stretching out his hammy while randy mossing that alternator? This guys is a modern day renaissance man.

I used to be a yoga instructor instructor.

I took a college yoga class (for the ladies) and I ended up being really ridiculously good at it. I can perform Downward Dog to a degree you've only heard about in stories of old.

In for black and white pics of Ryan topless.

When I was 16, I used to work for Abercrombie and Fitch.

Ok, I'll keep going. I was going to stop but you pushed me over the edge.

I'm glad my words gave you encouragement to continue, seemed like you were starting to give up.

^^^^ I'm dying over here. What is going on?? Mirror selfie with an alternator? In the bathroom?? Haha

When I was 16, I used to work for Abercrombie and Fitch. That part of my life is hard to bury, so it comes out from time.

...maybe get a tattoo of that sweet turbo…

Every car I've ever had has been turbo'd?

was gonna say!

you

What are you using product wise on that paint?

Some Palmela Handerson, 1000 grit, 1200 grit, and 1500 grit sandpaper,
soma this:

soma this:

and then soma this:

Dang girl, why didn't you post that selfie sooner. I'm voting for you for sure!

That's my tactic. I lure in the internet girls with poetry and purposely don't post a profile picture. Then when they see me in real life, they are pleasantly surprised. All thoughts that I might be a rapist or a killer cease to be an issue. It works 70% of the time.

Same Paint ? What !!?!


:bow: :bow: :bow:

I'm really good with my hands

My hair? I use KMS mousse for great volume, followed by high quality salt water (I usually harvest this myself from the pacific ocean) in a spray bottle. This gives me the perfect texture and lift. Then after I dry and style my hair to perfection, I seal the shape with KMS hairspray. Sometimes it lasts me all day, other times it goes flat like the bathroom selfie shows.

It's an art

you should see the selfies he took after he put the alternator down.

I told you not to open that snapchat. It wasn't meant for you :/

Holy paint!


I just went through this whole thread. What a transformation, keep it going man.

Ok, I'll keep going. I was going to stop but you pushed me over the edge.
