Fresh teaser from the shop.



New suspension and engine are in!

Man, I want to work at a shop that does this kind of thing on the regular.

Good to see progress!

I wish I could be playing with it like the first time, at this point I'm just happy that I'll have another Death Machine....a thousand miles away.

Bro that chick on that business car is so old school. I keep that one in front, because it reminds me of better times.. utterly obvious fake boobs. lol



Gerta, did you replace the clutch when you put your engine and all that together? I know you know better... haha

Oh yeah of course. Euro Non-AC Flywheel, new bolts, TOB, pin, spring along with brand new clutch/pressure plate. Blunt has a throne made out of all the cash I have given him to fix my "projects".

[kid325e]

!! There you go.

Joel, what clutch kit and diff are you running with that beastly set up? Just curious what it takes to hold that kind of power.

No shit? Guess my CL trolling skills have weakened as of late.

To be completely honest, I kinda jokingly found it. I was thinking hey, longview is sketchy, and full of hard drugs lets search "bmw longview".

So that ad came up on the listed section with no pictures.

Just for further detail, the mother and father are very nice people, who don't have the typical longview problem, if you catch my drift; their son however had quite the record. The first thing they did was a Vin check since it was his, and it came up not stolen.

Met the daughter up there for the monetary exchange, and she had a newer Chrysler and was dressed up in nurse apparel with a couple laminated badges..

Overall nice people, just the son had a problem.

Is this thing going to be done for the picnic?

Nothing special for the clutch, just standard GM kit. The engine has a completely stock tune, it's pretty much at the lowest end power level possible for the motor.

It looks like it might be....driveable. But it won't have a good interior, won't have my stereo, there's a handful of things on it that aren't as nice as my old car, but it may exist in some form by June.

Huh. How interesting. Bet it was cheap as shit!

[Mlarsen]

Are they still painting it?

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Naw, finding one in the same color as the old car was pretty sweet. There is a scratch on the hood that I might have cleaned up, but no real paint job. I'm still completely amazed that the wheels were completely unscathed, even the one that looks like it got clobbered. Not a scratch.

[kid325e]

So awesome. Sounds like it's moving right along!!

[the imitator]

it was indeed, glad It was savable, old man river just wanted it scrapped
