New additions to the fleet

[muleskinner]

Out enjoying the Indian summer yesterday

That interior is making me want to finally get around to putting my crack-free dash in. Nice looking fleet!

[muleskinner]

Out and about in the fall colors today





And this from October's Caffeine & Octane:

Yeah...I know....I said I wasn't going to go euro. Couldn't help myself. Going euro.

[Karl Grau]

Yep...I'd been looking for a set of 17 RCs on my local CL. I would have settled for just plain silver finish, but lucked out and found a recently refurbished set painted exactly how I really wanted them

Those look terrible.

[muleskinner]

Update on the euro conversion...why is it these projects always take so much longer than you ever anticipated? A prophet said "Lifetime piling up". Anyway, I'm getting closer. Got the euro front valance all painted and installed.

Can't fault you for going Euro, that is how BMW intended this car to be. It'll still be "original" in that sense. Good luck

I finally had a chance to give the paint a little love. Used some Meguiar's cleaner wax. Not the greatest pic, but you can see the left side of the trunk is cloudy looking. It's not been done yet. The right side was treated and buffed off.

Big difference in the paint, looks great.

Love the roundel...have a left handed monkey wrench on your tool box?

This ain't no party
This ain't no disco
This ain't no foolin around

[muleskinner]

Little by little
Bit by bit

Is that a hole in your battery?

Looks beautiful!

[muleskinner]

I'm drilling away, then suddenly, fluid starts pouring on to the floor. I'm like WTF? Did I just go through the f'n radiator? Then, I'm wondering "why is it clear?" Next, the skin on my legs starts burning after I got a few splashes. Pop the hood.... Oh shit...the goddamn battery!
On the upside, brand new Interstate. Yay!

[muleskinner]

Question for you seasoned euro converters...cek, Chris? Anyone else?

Any advice on replacing the rotted off and rusty bolts on my rubber strips?

[muleskinner]

Despite all my tribulations, I got the front end done

[muleskinner]

And, at long last, I got the rear bumper mounted.

Looks great.

[Chimi-Changa]

Love the Plate!

[muleskinner]

Hadn't updated for a while. Finally got a few pics worth posting

[muleskinner]

Took it out for a little drive on a breezy early fall day

[vandiesel]

Looks really good

[wkohler]

Looks nice.

[muleskinner]

Yeah, I know...I need to take the leaf blower to my driveway....oh well....makes for a decent fall pic.

[muleskinner]

Hanging out with one of the little whippersnapper grandkids.

[muleskinner]

Almost a year to the date from the above photo. And as usual, I've been lazy about blowing the leaves off my driveway.



Always a blast to take the old boy out for a little exercise on some backroads on a nice fall day.
