Subject: Your automotive goals for the 2006 season.

So what are your goals for the 2006 season of driving?

Mine is finish up my 62 bug. Which is in progress. License it and insure it and drive it. Its only 1 year out of a complete mechanical resto so it should be good to go. Just a few small things to do. 2002 keep on collect m20 swap bits. Then strip it down and fix some of the remaining rust, fit the flairs/ airdam/ eurobumps then paint time.

1930 model A get it into paint and then assemble...

Get my Volvo 242 into tip-top shape. It runs well now but I've purchased a new wire harness. I will also tinker on my '67 1600 project. I wanted to finish it by 2007 (40 years old!) but looks like it won't get that far. My stripping project is going slowly. Interior has been gutted for the most part. Next is trim and engine compartment.

Finish Version 2.0 of my Schwarz 2002 (dainty bumpers, A/C , 15" wheels, sound sytem, etc).

Do suspension and wheels/tires on the E21.

Start modding the E39.

Cheap paint job for the MB W201.

Getting the 02 ready for use as my daily driver at the tech school I'm attending next year. The car is ready, but a car this old is never really "finished."

I will be getting my upholstery restuffed and the shifter rebuilt. I also hope to take my car to more events in '06 incl. Vintage in the Vineyard. My problem with that event has been its proximity to Mother's Day. I was warned that I'd be dead if I snuck out of town & skipped the sacred day! Also plan to go to O'Fest in Mich. since it ain't that far away this time around!

FINISH all the work on the M3 so I can pull it out of the garage and be able to do other minor car or bicycle jobs.
M3:
Replace all suspension rubber parts
Replace leaking tensioner
Diagnose steering pump leak
Full tune up- hoses, W/P, cap, rotor, etc...
Clean up body and install new windsheild
Get drivers seat bolster leather repaired
Reinstall all interior panels
...and finally get to that 2 day drivers school.

For the other cars it will be:
Just keep the 02 running & stay current on maintenance.
and fix all the little problems on the E46 that tend to annoy my wife.

Start the Lotus Seven type project. Delay work on the 02 as it will be driven a lot again. Buy a new welder.

I hope to do a body restoration on my car. As well as add either turbo style flares or aplina "pig cheek" style flares and 15" rims.

I also want to get my project Rabid Rabbit underway. I have an '83 rabbit gti that i want to swap a 1.8t motor into for a fun little sleeper.

HAH! i had a 76 rabbit that we (dad and me) converted to euro GTi specs... 110hp on the 1.6 8v motor. that 8v reversal-head Vw motor made some amazing torque! the 180hp 1.8t should be fun!! im going to do the terbo flares on my 02 to kill a (many) rust issue(s) and make room for some 225mm tires, even though my car is "over-tire'd" as it is (lil carbed 1.8l m10 from 81 320i and 195/50 falkens on 7.5" wide ronals) more tires just means i wont use the brakes so much.. ;) Ive been reading about the e30 M3's ridiculous lap times on the nurburgring (old ring), absolutely wasting cars with double and triple the horsepower... really says a lot about latent BMW dynamics, and the NOneed to touch the brakes (except to move the balance around).............

Subject: Get a right hand drive car to drive around the UK . . . . .

Going to be there six months, might as well learn to drive left handed.
Maybe an old Mini?

Go to Germany to do some miles on the Autobahn,

Visit the Isle of Mann.
Need a bike for that one...

Meet some Euro 02ers...

Open to other ideas while I'm there.

Keep the E38 running and washed

72tii - Finish rebuilding the S14 get it installed and driving. Finish the 5spd conversion. Install my front brake upgrade parts. Steel lines, blah blah blah

Basically, get all the parts that have been sitting OUTSIDE my car, INTO my car. & working.

Get the 533i into good daily driver mode, so I can sell one of the E24's. I wonder what my other goals are? Hmmmm.......



If I can get the engine bolted into the car by Jan 1/06, I'll be a happy camper. If I am REALLY good, it will bark to life on my 30th Bday in March! If I'm REALLY, REALLY good, it will get me to Palo Alto in May!
