IGNORED

What's in YOUR garage?

PS.......Here's the Porsche before the restoration began. The PO painted it Red back in the 80's but I had to return the original color of Ossi Blue.

Interesting name for a color. In Italian "ossi" means "bones." I would have thought that name would have been used for some shade of white or beige.....

well my dd is an e36m3, 4 door 5 sp with a few mods. I would like to get back to my e30 roots and get an e30m3 but it's tough: I don't mind dd'ing the e36, it's ok when it gets a little abuse, dings, etc. A couple weeks ago someone hit the front and took off, ~$1600 in damage! But I would feel pretty uncomfortable using an e30m3 for anything where it's left unattended, too rare. Some day I hope to get an e30m3 shell and put an s54 in

My garage has lot, LOL. 16,000 square feet. My business specializes in the sales of alternative energy vehicles, so a bunch of Priuses and Civic Hybrids, a few CNG powered cars when we can find them. But my warehouse was a BMW part out facility prior to us, and my landlord still has a lot of junk in there.

the e30 touring is no longer mine. Sold it to a guy in NYC who did an e30m3 widebody and painted it blue. Loved that car though, had a European s50b30 and e36m3/z3 m 5lug brakes/suspension. the black e30 in the foreground is my buddy's, US 3.0L m3 motor in there. the e38 is ours as well (sold a while back). the junk BMW's are my landlord's

the white e30 in the pics is a build we did to sell, obd1 s52 (3.2L e36 m3 motor) into an e30 318i.

(came with a small fortune of Happich windows for anyone familiar. I sold the windows for more than I got for the car)!

here's my "new" 73 Z that needs some time and money. I'll be contacting Charlie Osborne for some new floors some time soon, Arizona car but still some holes.

LOL at Carl :) E36 M3 is the mid 90's version. E30 was the mid-late 80's 3 series. S54 is the OBDII M3 engine with ITB's.

Oddly enough one of the interested parties for my BMW is also an S30 owner and Nationals 2nd place trophy winner who also knows my dad (Diseazd). Small world.

Sold my turbo BMW E34. Bought this. 99 528it "individual" car meaning custom ordered in this Mojave metallic brown color and is the only one in the country. I already have my autokraft oil pan, custom engine/trans mounts as well as custom ceramic coated headers. H&R rear springs with Bilstein sports and up front, Fortune Auto coilovers which I am picking up today.

The engine has been ordered and is a brand new crate GM performance iron block LSX 427 stroker motor. 550hp/580 ft lbs of torque. The motor comes with CTSV accessories and LS7 heads/intake manifold. Also ordered 2013 Camaro TR6060 6 speed transmission and clutch kit.

Going to be a beast of a wagon!

Diseazd, thank you for the complements! Yeah, that was one of my concerns when purchasing the vehicle. I had a Subaru Impreza a few years back, and the white was so much easier to match because it was not pearl. I did get a full frontal clear bra however, so hopefully that'll keep everything clean and tidy :)
