I was wondering what happened to this.

I want to see final pics!

[Madhatter]

This thing got a tan, And its finished now, just no pics.

[Madhatter]

Sweet dude! Keep me posted on hoe it works out! do you have a link to a build thread?

[bansheelos]

Liking your build, keep up the good work! Heres my VR Bus not thread jacking just showing ya how it sits in my bus.

[Madhatter]

I have a little Surprise...
Jacked up the back. *





and this happened...


Sitting there all fancy like


Plans for the motor are going to be pretty mild, *unlike i said before, *mainly becasue i want this thing to be reliable, *and be put back together quick. *plans are
-Cam
-solid lifters
-Polished heads
-Carburetor kit (dual 2 barrels or progressive carb kit)
and exhaust

Im not really in a rush to get the carb kit unless i find a really good deal, *considering i cam probably do that in about 2 hours with the engine already in. Also, *its going to the paint shop in just a few weeks. *my plan is to have it driving, *and painted by march.

Well i got it running nice, and its going in to the paint shop november 1st, so I'm excited.

I just read the whole thing and I'm sorry for saying this, but You should read some forums about body work.
Next time You do a "BODY WORK" start by removing parts like door handles, rubber molding, etc.
and don't put body filler on body panel joints, because the body flexes as You drive, and the filler will crack.
And don't ever use a drill with sandpaper disk on a car, ever.
But yeah, cant wait to see it done.

thumb ups! it always feel good when u come up on a car like this

[martinm13]

Forgot about this build!! I wanna see what's going on with this.

[milano_red]

x2 on that^^ I was just wondering about it today.

[ryanjblajda]

any updates? just read the entire build thread.

[Madhatter]

So, the reason i had shitty pics last night was because i Just got done last night, and thats the best i can do. So, today i got day time pics.

[Madhatter]

u should sell it, and get money for the e30... seems like your burning out with all of your projects... too much going on ...

Alex! i have the e30 up and running, The e30 is the daily remember, not a full time project, just little things here and there when i can,

[Madhatter]

Fuck you lucky ........ !!
That is one of the reasons you should never sell it.. because of the way you got it.

Now keep working on it

what about a engine swap.. R32 maby or old porsche motor.!! that will be insane!!

Itll have an engine swap one day, im thinking of jsut building a 2.0 block to a 2.5, and buiild that for performance, ANd yeah i gave her my word i would never sell it.

I got it from a lady who's husband just died, and she had it sitting in her yard, i went to talk to her, she said i have had offers up to 3,000 as it is, but since i know your going to work on it and treat it right, how much do you want it for? i said ill give you 1000, then i said ok, and i called her a couple days later, and said i am working to get the money, and i told her i currently have 500 now. then she said just give me 500, so i did that, and now i have the bus

Also, ill never sell the bus haha,
