My son and I ran across this 1986 BMW in a junk yard that was complete (minus the engine) and in pretty good shape. They had ran the fork lift forks into the passneger door and fender, but we were able to find replacements. Picked it up for $250. Then a friend of a friend gave us a recently rebuilt ford 5.0.  So we dropped it in the little BMW.  We just fired it for the first time last week, and it ran!  Moving on to the body and paint now. ...

This 49 chevy was given to me by my dad for my 16th birthday in 1988.  My dad was the second owner and had it since the 70's.  It had 67k original miles when i started driving it.  At that time it was all original.  I swapped out the engine and tranny shortly after to make it highway ready.  Then an AMC Pacer front clip and V8 in '91.  Then in 2010 it got a frame up redo with a new crate 350 and a Ford 9" rearend.     ...
