Turbine powered, like the car in the pic?

Awesome, absolutely love it.

nemex12 · 12-06-2017, 12:24 PM

i'm in love! who cares for the purists, this is a car who was in bad shape and there is so much more love and passion in this project than most of their garage queen, 100km on the odometer, cars

S62, one of the best M engines along side S85 and S54. Great sound as well

Gorgeous-I lusted after one of these that my wifes cousin owned brand new. Same color orange too. I was driving my parents 69 Oldsmobile lol. Well at least ive got a Z$M now- sweet build

I've had s65 and s54, yet to have the S62 but will happen.

vladberca · 12-06-2017, 02:20 PM

Awesome build! Congrats!
Any info about the weight of the car?

Teutonic · 12-06-2017, 03:36 PM

Nice, simple and clean.
Just wish that rear seats have a similar pattern with the front ones and will be perfect. Simple mod.
And decide between chrome (rear and front) or no chrome, to define better the car.
Otherwise, Love it!

Absolutely beautiful, be very careful in the rain with that beast.

The 911 was getting new brake lines, it is my friends car.

Fantastic Job!

Cheers!

How does it drive? Corner? Brake? Kermit Upton used to do a lot of 02s in VT iirc, but he used S14s.

I bet this guy is an interesting character...as in 'not the stereotypical Porsche owner' if he shoves his air cooled Porsche project in the corner to complete this beauty.

Not there's anything wrong with that LOL #seinfield.jpg

Immensely detailed undertaking for sure. I love it. It looks absolutely perfectly done...and I bet it's a blast to drive/ride in.

Two huge thumbs up from me.

...this thing prolly causes one to display the "biggest BMW crap-eating grin ever"!

When I first saw the initial pics,...I thought,...."No way! ...and then,...my eyes saw red!!

Love it!
