If you want to see the last time it had an engine, search for 713/1000 and look at the "new owner of 713/1000" thread. I'm pulling the engine out of it for 713.

 

[Lofty]

Hahaha Andy looks about right!

(Random shot tonight of my daily, sorry wanted to share)

Thought about throwing it out....

But then I resprayed it like I had intended to

Popped out door ding!

Necessary!

Oh yeah, here's the drivetrain going into this car..

Oh, and the engine that's going into this car in it's prime!

That's all for now!

[GSX_TC]

Nice tranny, looks like it's coming along well. Is your daily a 5 series BMW or a chevy Malibu?

 

[Lofty]

Lol. Yes I love my built and customized transmission.

It's an E39 540i.
220k miles and counting, haha.


I'm either buying a fuel cell, or a big FMIC with this extra cash I have laying around. Unsure which though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[4wheelsqueal]

and now you hav e an e39a with 212,000 miles on it!

 

[GSX_TC]

Yeah I knew it looked like a 5 series, that's kinda cool both the BMW and VR4 are E39's haha but yeah man I'd def get the front mount first.

[GSX_TC]

I still need to order mine from you.

 

[4wheelsqueal]

Come on now! No need to be hating on my jackstand keychains! Actually I made them a little more than a year ago so before the replicas came out. I have both on all my vr4 sets of keys, jackstand and replica! Quoting steve:

[steve]

lol my bad, it was just some shameless self-promotion. The JSB keychain thing is def baller.

 

[4wheelsqueal]

Haha no problem, Steve! Scott, if you're going to get a replica key fob, definitly hit steve up. These are high quality and he's great to deal with.

 

[GSX_TC]

I would like to get both actually, how do I get the jackstand one?

 

[Lofty]

Hi.

 

[GSX_TC]

Nice that's a sexy fuel cell. Are those normal arp's or the L19's?

 

[Lofty]

Havent been on here in a while. Working on getting my rear firewall all fabbed up, getting my fuel pump and AN lines ran.

Other than that it's coming along... slowly..
