Meet Col. Mustard

With the gas prices and daily wear and tear on my Cheyenne I picked up an 82 BMW for $600 to drive back and forth to work, not really into the car though. A friend had recently bought this truck for his kids but they didn't like the fact that it was a manual tranny so bingo! straight trade. It has a rebuilt top end and runs like a champ. I've already cleaned it up and bought a couple things for her. I really need to find a complete front grille, this one's pretty banged up. After that bumpers. Not bad for $600!

Hey Col.
I've got a chrome sport bumper with one small ding in it that would look good hanging on your rear end. Also a chrome front with paint over it. Bro. may have needed brackets for the rear. Not sure! Looks like you need a lens on the left side too.

LOL

For sure. The whole point was to get something better on gas and with a straight six, one barrel carb and manual tranny I'm sure I'll get double the MPG as I do in the Cheyenne.
