Bring a trailer and come and get it. $ 1500.00 It's a 1975 only real rust was the front floors from a typical leaking windsheild gasket. Needs paint and interior work. Teh doors have working power window lifts and power mirrors. NO TITLE. I saved the car from a crusher. 1975 short block Twin 40mm Webers, 121 head with E12 Valves, Schrick Double valve springs, head was cut .111 over max recomended cut, custom manual chain tensioner(as in I made it), Custom cam gear(as in I made it), Paco 7800 series cam, Mallory mechanical advance dist., header This motor was in one of my other 2002's that had 275/50/16 comp T/A's on the rear. It would fry those big dogs right out of the shop! The car has a complete new front suspension, Every thing! I mean everything! Also ADDCO big front and rear sway bars. We drove the car last week but it's tune up time. I would go for that, except that Katherine would shoot me. I already have to leave something at the office because we are out of parking spots. Ya, I spent a butt load of money on the car. Actually I spent a butt load of money on a pile of parts i had laying around. I just stuck a bunch of my leftover parts on the car to save having to store a bunch of boxes. If I had the time I'd part it out. I've had the car for sale for several years now but no takers. I also have a 1977 530I that is stupid crazy with new parts. I have that on ebay now. 3 days in and no bids. |

Thanks all. Glad your enjoying my madness. I though about making a removable access panel but there isnt anything tha can really be serviced from back there anyway. In hindsight I really didnt need to remove the stock floor and rear trunk bulk head once I figured out how to move the motor forward. So the new panel is really fixing a mistake. (live and learn for the next one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) )
If I had a parts car I would just section back in a stock floor. the only mod would be a small dog house over the fuel distributor like the V8 chevy guy use with the HEI distributor. |

Eric Yes in the passanger compartment. Were just about finished with that too. Film...er ahhh... Photos at 11:00 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) I havent figured out how I'm going to check the oil yet. the dip stick is in the front. I need to quit procrastinating and bring my custom oil pan back to the TIG welder for one more mod. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Now that you've taken the alien that far, you have to theme the car out even more..
Green ghosted aliens, and gauges with not of this Earth markings, lic plate: ROSWELL I dunno.. glow-in-the-dark intake runners.. M |

I'm conflicted. I started out to do this car to appear to be a flared 4 or 6 cylinder car. Kind of a sleeper. I dont really mind the trunk pan mod because I needed to put something back in there. But I really dont want to take it too far. I had a friend over last night helping with the trunk pan. We finished it up and he asked if I was ready to do the front lid next!
I'm Having fun with it but If I had a stock trunk floor around here I would hang the alien on the garage wall and put the stock piece back in. On the other hand... My son was talking about glowing green digital gauges, wild stuff all over the place. |

Rich. The sleeper idea sounds like a great one. I'd leave the rear trunk the way it is, heck the top covers it anyway! Green light's in the guage's would be cool and you would only see them when you turn the headlight's on, it would kinda personalize the car with a couple of sleeper mods(bad joke).

Hi this may or may not help. There are flexable dipsticks/sleeves available. You can mount them anywhere within reason.

I'm sure you've said this before, but how much leg room are you losing because of the firewall re-engineering? Probably only a problem for drivers over 6 feet tall (and we all know aliens is shorty folk anyways).
