Marathon Blue is still sitting on the rotisserie waiting for me to have time/space to work on it. I need a Rick O. to come to CA and help me finish up all these cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

So I'm just gonna throw this engine into a spare chassis I got from Trekkor. It's a very original and very straight 1971 originally painted Gold Metallic, but resprayed some stupid yellow. This will be my R&D car. I picked up a 2.4 six and am thinking of building a 914/6 replica (I meant replica, not conversion).

Realistically, I'm just sidetracking myself because it's always more fun to start a new project than it is to trudge along with the old project. But I knew the blue car would never have been done for WCR.

True, true! My Suby-powered 914 project is on the back burner 'cause of life-n-other excuses. My '97 BMW 328i was stolen/totaled/recovered in February. I bought it back (only had 110k miles and was my step-Pa's before he died) from the insurance company for $413, put the auto trans in a $1500 '98 BMW 528i (niiiice ride!) a week later, and plan to put the M52 6-cylinder in my '96 BMW 318ti in the coming weeks. To make the 318ti more interesting, I just spent $2k on all new bushings, Koni Sports, H&R Sport springs, control arms, rebuilt/upgraded brakes, camber kits, etc. I'm also putting in a ZF 5-speed trans and limited slip diff. Then I can get back to my 'teener! Unfortunately, it looks like I'll miss WCR 2013 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
