Bought a house, huge garage..

[BlowMyWhistle 0]

Hi Y'all, just putting it out there, bought a house with a massive workshop.

Got my E23 735 exec sitting on ramps in the front drive, paints, peeled, just taking the trans out to replace the rear seal.

License that, already been over the pits, few minor things, bulbs, nuts and bolts stuff, not bad for a 26 yr old car!

The plan is to strip it back, just the roof, bonnet etc where the clear coats peeled.

Hope to get about $2K for it licensed, tried selling it as parts, or unlicensed, lots of interest, but dint wanna be left with a wreck.

It's no beauty, but new motor and trans 70K's ago by PO.

That's gunner fund my next expidition, retrieving my E28 from NZ. had quotes on freight for household stuff we left behind, and quotes for whole container, not a great deal of difference.

I've been here in WA for 7 years now.

Never meant to stay, so sent the E28 to a cylinder head specialist, cracked head... Mates rates turned into big $$$ once his wife got involved, so I spent best part of $2K on it. Can't give it away in NZ.

So bring it over here, got a nice set of wheels for it, clean it up abit, should get couple $K for it.

Cars are expensive over here!

That will help, or mostly fund the transportation.

Meanwhile, The E30 I bought my daughter about 4 years ago is going to my son. For his 19th, when He gets his P plates, I'm getting him; shorty headers, Bilstein sports, H&R or Eibach springs. Needs it badly, took it for a drive last week, wallows like a boat!

So that will keep me busy for a while...

Then; on my wish list is a blower and a 6 speed conversion for my 530.

Kind of toying with the idea of picking up a cheap E28 or E30 and doing a turbo on it, plenty of turbo kits on the market, but have to make a $ on it.

I've stripped an E30, sold every last little bit, stripped an e23, just for spares. Know my car inside out, so time to take on a challenge??
