I was down in Arkansas for work, browsing craigslist when I found something I had to have haha. 12.5hrs on the uhaul later and it's looking pretty in my garage! Will add more details when I get the chance.

Thanks guys, loving it so far! The car has 150k on it and has lived it's entire life in Austin, Texas. I had it up on a lift before I bought it and there isn't a spot of rust on it anywhere, it's pretty incredible haha. I'm planning on getting it up on the jack stands and doing the timing chain guides (the chain slap is pretty loud, hence the uhaul) and the rod bearings (just because) before driving it much. The vanos was just replaced with new Dr. Vanos units, and almost all of the suspension wear items have also been replaced not long ago.  This should make for a good distraction from the ix this winter haha.

How's the front end of the car? I notice no pictures of it=P

[TehRaydarlover]

It's good! I guess I really like the ass on it haha

Second row seating also

that's what she/he said?

The paint/clear doesn't even look sunbaked=P

Great find!  That's a unique color combo!  I love that the seats are one color.  The 2 tone always bothered me in these.

[TehRaydarlover]

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I started working on it tonight. Intake plenum, coils, and valve covers off. A little dirty under the valve covers but the cams look perfect!

Have you driven it at all?

[TehRaydarlover]

Basically just a test drive. The timing chain guides/tensioners are pretty loud, I want to take care of them before driving it much. I'd hate to jump a tooth and lunch the engine.

man i thought the e34 v8 cars had no room in the engine bay, that thing is packed like a can of sardines.
