Re: Senior Project Build
I doubt that will happen. He doesn't strike me as the regretting type....I know I'm sure not. Everytime I have taken the road he's on it's been for the better...no regrets!

Re: Senior Project Build
Well I really would like to get some of the money back out, but I packed all the parts in the bed and shrink wrapped the engine and trans in preparation or storage in the shop. If it doesn't sell, maybe I will have the motivation later in life.

Re: Senior Project Build
One of the reasons for wanting to sell is that being 18 and having 4 registered and titled vehicles in my name is kinda crazy. I want to narrow it down to the daily and the motorcycle

Re: Senior Project Build
Huge Bummer man. I've set here for the past hour reading about this freakin' awesome truck. I've been thinking about getting a 72' for a wile now and finally found one just have to get to it.
I have to say I saw the sale coming when you started the new engine, the pictures started getting fewer and fewer.. Sucks you sold it make, it was very inspiring! |

Re: Senior Project Build
****. I go back and re-read my entire thread and feel pangs of heartache. Looking at all the trouble I went through, and how I was so close to being done at the end. I hope everyone who reads this learns from my mistakes! If I could go back I would never have sold it, even if I lost interest. Just park it until you get that spark again. I hope everyone here is doing well, I am sorry to have let you down. I am considering tracking down the guy I sold it to and trying to buy it back. Oh but how life's priorities change. Now I only buy project cars that run and drive from the start haha. I will keep checking in on this thread to maybe help answer any questions. Take care everyone

Re: Senior Project Build
Well I can't get a hold of the guy, I will try driving by his place. If anything just to see if he ever put a motor in it ( I sold it as a roller). I can't afford more junk right now anyways haha.
As far as projects go, I have been messing around with old BMW's, I have an old 3 series coupe I would like to swap the same LS motor into. I have also been making some money buying/selling/parting out old air cooled VW stuff. I also helped a buddy get his '55 Stepside project going. I will post a picture ![]() It makes me proud to see how many people were following the build, and sad to let you down. If I end up doing more LS stuff or old trucks I will definitely let you guys know ![]() |

Re: Senior Project Build
I am glad I didn't read all the pages and skipped to the end cause I was inspired and still am. You really put alot of money in parts and your like me. We put all the money into things change it and end up selling it or trading it and losing alot of our money. I learned though not to long ago not to do that again.
