It's kinda of depressing looking at it in the back of my shop. I need to pull that engine and trans and get going on the motor.

I get kinda teary eyed when I think about that car getting cut up. Too bad it had to die like that.

If it weren't for that car, I'd still be off playing with Camaros and Trucks.

Yeah it sucks but, the guts of it are going to good new home in my iX. It's going to be fun I've never built an M20 before so, I'm excited. When I originally bought Corey's car I had big dreams to build a crazy stroker but, it's just not realistic. I started pricing everything out and it ended up being almost 6K for everything. So, I think realistically a healthy 2.7 stroker is the route I'm going. There's other things I need to buy for my car and I can't spend my whole budget on just the motor.

Vintage European is the shit. Just had a tour of the place and I'm all sorts of impressed. :)

I need to start logging all the fuck ups and hack jobs that AR Auto Service did to this poor M50TU. Miss my DSLR! Guess all swap pics will be done with Galaxy S3

would be so much cooler if you guys parked next to each other... I saw a 4 door red one today, like Matt Larsens. Love the flares on them

In the AM that lot is FULL. 5.00 a day to park there. White one gets there at 7:00, LachSilber one gets there at 9:00, and I roll up at 9:30 so parking all together is usually foiled by "non-enthusiasts". There is a E92 that has taken a liking to parking next or close by us.

It would be even cooler if you used a camera from the 21'st century

Lighting was off, my G2X is SUPER outdated. I don't run around with a DSLR everywhere snapping HD photos. lol

Simon, when are we swapping exhausts?

Ugh, preaching to choir man. There isn't much left on it so, it's time pull everything. Then call the the scrap guy to haul the shell out. Speaking out which somebody needs to snag that rear valence before that goes with it.
