As mentioned in my Chevy build, I've done a lot of soul (project car) searching. This year alone I have bought and gotten rid of at least 10 different prospects.
I'll just let the pics do the talking.
I started liking these old ford pickups. Found a clean original Highboy.
Decided rain gutter rust is for people with a few more O's in the bank.
So then I tried to find something else with less rust. Found this thing in Oklahoma for a few bucks.
Decided it made me miss the Highboy. In fact, the same guy that bought the Highboy bought this f100 as a bed donor.
Then I tried something smaller. Fuck it, less risk right?
I love MK1 rabbits! Especially diesels!
I fuggin loved this thing. 100% original. Then it hit me. I can't molest this and make a project out of it. It's too nice.
The I said let me go back to my roots. Why not another E30?
91 318is. Fuck this. Made me miss my m60 e30 vert waaaaaaay too much. I can't really do e30's without canvas tops. Ditched this thing about a day after I got it.
So then something else popped up. A beautiful all original 95 525iT!!!!
Perfect. I'm gunna swap iiiit! Gunna get an ls1 and a 6060! and wide ass wheels!
But wait.
This thing was absolutely gorgeous as is. I fell in love with a time capsule. I couldn't dare fuck with it.
I drove this touring for the rest of the year problem free. I never owned a car that made me smile every time I looked at it. It was a blast from the past every time I sat in it. I got compliments and people offering to buy it all over town. It was great man. I made it my daily and it impressed me even more with its practicality.
Shit was great! Then I started to get this itch. A got damned Daewoo took me at the light and passed me. I said enough is enough. I want speed! I decided this car was too clean to molest as well and said fuck it. Found another enthusiast from Korea and we've been getting it ready to ship. It's no in his possession and I'll be doing some basic maintenance to it before he leaves. I miss it but I'm so glad to see it in deserving hands.
Sigh...
Dilemma...
