I think I'd put a cowl like that on the Taurus before the Bimmer.    Gonna attempt to go for somewhat of a sleeper look, other than the ridiculous sound coming from the exhaust of course.  Found a T5 tranny and some sweet black leather BMW seats up at Baxter's yesterday.  Gonna try to score the tranny this Friday before the meeting.  He's only got one left and I don't wanna lose it.  Seats will probably have to wait for right now.

Found an awesome site lastnight with an ace-load of info about V8 swaps.  Seriously hit a jackpot with this one.  http://e30v8.com/

Also, some guy's huge, in-depth build thread on one of the Bimmer forums. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1496109

All of this searching also lead me to some sweet videos on YouTube.  Check 'em!

there's a few open corners round the area I live.. I could use me another street urchin.

[hillbilly les]

What size are urchins ussually???

Turned a couple wrenches on this thing yesterday, doing some very minor work.  Otherwise spent a little time cleaning everything out of it and preparing for when I have an income and can actually do something to it.  Anywho, got all the crap outta the trunk and the inside as well as the huge blue bin of crap from the engine bay.  Thing's ready for some loving, just need some money to love it with. 

Also found a little more cancer on the inside than I was hoping for, but it's not like it's the first MN hotrod to have peep holes in the floor by your feet.  Heck, maybe I'll route some tubing underneath to scoop in the air from the road.  Nothing like a little forced induction cabin cooling.  Nothing too major, but can see through a few little spots.  Gonna have to take some rust repair classes from Ry-dawg when the time comes.  I know how much he loves patching rust.
