After making it out to Luke's tonight I figured it was a good time to start the thread.

A few weeks back I bought a 1998 740iL from a buddy. It's only got 82,000 miles on it and it's been a blast so far. Never really had a car that grabbed anyone's attention before so that's pretty neat haha

That's last picture is ride height LOL this car is silly and I love it

Looks amazingly clean for a '98.

 

[willizm]

Looks like a comfy ride. Is it on airbags?

 

[Mook]

Just noticed the plates

 

[JackS]

Yeah it's on air. When I first got in it I was so paranoid I was gonna fuck something up because I don't have any experience with this type of setup but after getting some seat time he set the car up really nicely and I can just cruise around with a worry

[JackS]

Those were his so he kept them haha. The plates from the car I sold happen to work out though

Just noticed the plates

I've had the car out on the 2 or 3 nicer weekends we've had recently and it felt good to get some miles on. I do need to address a few leaks developed over the winter though

 

[JackS]

I did make a purchase today though.

I know it's not a supra, and it won't be done for a while (house mods), but a deal popped up and I couldn't pass....full 6 speed swap

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Fuck yea!

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Nice!!

What's the word on the truck?

 

[JackS]

Nice!!

What's the word on the truck?

It's a 1963 Chevy C10. My grandfather bought it for me on my 16th birthday (I'm 28). It was in pretty rough shape to begin with but now it's basically a new truck. About 400 miles on everything except the original frame and cab. New 350, power steering, disc brakes, Currie 9 inch

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

One of my favorite body styles on a truck

Finally made some minor changes to the 7. I had the roof and mirrors wrapped in gloss black and the windshield and sunroof tinted. Pretty happy with how it turned out. At the right angle the sunroof and mirrors almost disappear

 

[Mook]

This thing looks so good.

I have an addiction to these E38s

 

[IDAFC21]

Just noticed that decal on the windshield

There should be a thread on the truck TBH.

 

[Outlaw]

Car looks great buddy!

Lots of good memories in that truck.

 

[JackS]

I can't wait to get started on the 6 speed swap but I also can't bring myself to tear it apart while the weather is still nice

It would take me a LONG time to get a thread started because I've had it for so long haha. I will a some point but I've gotta go though like 3 or 4 phones to gather pictures from over the years

There should be a thread on the truck TBH.

 

[JackS]

Can anyone recommend a shop in the northwest suburbs that might be willing/able to do my 6 speed swap? I have most of the parts but I not enough time on my hands
