My Love affair with BMW

Another 2 cans down 

 

 

I think I am only 5 or 6 cans away from being ready for shark teeth, or a pin up girl......tough choice.  Oh well project boredom rolls on.

I vote for the pin up girl. It will look good on the bomber green.

I am leaning towards

There sure is alot of nose art out there to choose from. Nothing wrong with that one.

I have been going back and forth on selling the car.  I haven't driven it in over a month at this point. 

 

I just like driving the truck too much, that vgt turbo make it so much more fun.

If you sell it your truck will break down.  Your truck seems like the sort that would keep running just out of it's stubborn Mexican pride.

went out yesterday to start it and it was DED dead.  

 

 

Threw a charger on the beast and hopefully will let her run for a hour or so today.  I need to get some new headlights in it, as I robbed them for my truck.  

 

Then finish painting it and get back to driving it or sell the thing.

I'm convinced this is the real reason why guys run external kill switches on street rods, not because they run that fast at the track.

I just want to know what nose art you picked for it. I have some old B&W photos my dad took while in the PTO when he was over seas back in 45. I can post them if you like and give you some more ideas.

Liberty Bella is what I am thinking.   I ran her again today and I don't think I have the heart to sell her.  she just purrs

So I was browsing craigslist and a old dream car popped back up.....  I am still in love with the BMW E31 series.  I think I am going to start saving for one.

pure BMW goodness.

[CSM]

Neat.  Looks like fun.  Too much learning for me tho.

The Germans make it pretty easy, once you get the car in the air it is less frustrating than working on the dodge.

Probably true.  Im moving on the 4th, ill help you go pick iy up this weekend! Haha

[Me78569]

I wish haha, I would have to talk him down to $1000.

 

Interestingly enough, I haven't paid more than a grand for a vehicle in almost a decade hahaha.  Might explain why I am always fixing them.

Man....I just scrolled right past that 850i I posted above and thought....Damn that's sexy...gotta have one.

 

 

Anyways just finished "painting" the trunk lid and rear drivers side.  Only the roof left

Gonna rename her "The 20 Footer"

The e32 is sold and leaving my hands friday.

On my route to and from the stables to see our horse there is a e28 535is that has been sitting for years.  I asked to the guy yesterday to ask what was up.   said it was his son's son got in an accident in another car and the car has been sitting.

we will see if I get my hands on it or not.  perfect DD car.   It has been long fortold that the M30 series engine is actually what rotates the earth and has been since the dawn of time. 

 

It looks like this

with the e32 gone I have been keeping my eye open for another bmw.  Happens that this weekend I heard word of another e34 touring for sale.  3.0 l v8, but with a 6 speed swap already done.   i've already had a touring, but man I miss that car.  I am seriously considering flying out to cali and picking it up.    Really not a great time in terms of $$ but it is a pretty screaming deal.....Maybe I need to start a go fund me lololololol
