Your garage floor looks great. :beer:

Looks great. Great practical sedan to go with the rest of the stable. Is that a 750? I have always liked the 7 series since i drove a v12 750 back in the 90's.

Thansk!. I almost went with the 7 but stuck with the 535XI. Its AWD and Turbo....a really fun daily driver.

I have slowly been getting all of my old tools and new tools organized into one box....and trying to make sure it has a very functional layout. Not done yet....but getting there.

Nice bike. I like the window "dry clutch" style cover.

Boosted1 · Apr 7, 2017

Awesome bike. Looks like the mirror is touching the wall!!
How's the Lambo project going?

drivesitfar · May 11, 2017

MH: are you deadlifting those urethane IGX plates with the bands on the bar. you're a beast and good for you for keeping in shape.

any more pictures of the LAMBO to post? don't get me wrong i love the dog, bike and shop pictures and even the weights or gym equipment, but just saying i've got my eyes on a 1000 HP Lambo build (or was that 700 HP?).

cheers and hope all is well in your world

Tonellin · May 11, 2017

Just read through this whole thread....unbelievable. You're definitely the only guy I know that DIY's a garage rehab, and DIYs a TT lambo build. Very impressive stuff

I can't decide which import I like the best...one of the Japanese, or one of the Italians, or the German...stunning collection man I hope you take time to enjoy all this hard work as well

drivesitfar · May 18, 2017

MH: any updates?

also your thread was too far down to get many new member's eyes and you've got a lot of cool stuff they should see.

hope everything is ok in your world!!

Caparris · May 18, 2017

That lambo engine looks surprisingly similar to a BMW N62B44 engine I rebuilt a few years back. Well, other than the two extra cylinder, lol

Looking good. I think we're all looking forward to more pics of that engine going together.

scorp7 · May 19, 2017

Wow! I've been a member for many years but almost never comment as I simply like to look and appreciate what this forum has to offer, but I am so impressed with what you are doing. Keep the pics coming and best of luck! :beer:

Nolift911 · May 19, 2017

Wow looks awesome! Love the bike and the floor turned out great!

drivesitfar · May 27, 2017

MH: i know you are busy making HAY to pay for all the parts for your LAMBO among other things and just wondering if you have had any progress.

also i like bumping up your thread cause you've got a lot of cool stuff in it that other members need to see and this section moves fast so thousands of threads can get in front of yours.

cheers and anything new?

Clemson13 · Jul 4, 2017

I also wanna add that I'm damn glad all the photos in this thread are still working! :rocker:

I'm glad you didn't host them through P-bucket.

SOOOO glad this thread was not ruined by P-bucket! It is one of my favorites. I love the whole setup and cars.

drivesitfar · Sep 27, 2017

MH: anything new on the LAMBO or have you been busy working on other things? how about an update even if it's just a couple more good pictures of your cool dogs?

cheers

My snap on addiction has gotten worse....like a lot worse

Time to upgrade welders and welding rig...picked up the box at HF. Decided to modify it some.

New Furick cup and gas lense...makes a BIG difference

Practice welds....still have a lot of room to improve

Some surgery on a failed Z part

Custom tool to reach some hard to get stuff on the Z

Is working on the cars just a hobby or you are a certified mechanic? What ever be the case, you got some skills

Kind of a weird blend. I own a garage that has certified mechanics and they do mostly repair / maintenance on more common vehicles. My business partner and I also do performance work for people and handle most of that at my home garage. Neither of us have certs in anything...just started taking things apart and trying to make them faster about 10 years ago and never quit lol.

Thanks man...appreciate it!

Some cool stuff you’ve got access to..just an FYI—those Snap-On “vise grips” are pure garbage..

Absolutely adore your car collection. 90s cars = best cars. The lambos are pretty lame by comparison.

drivesitfar · Nov 3, 2017

MH: thanks for posting up a few more pictures of your cool cars and dogs. did you shelf the 1000 HP Lambo engine for now cause it looks like it's off the rack or did you finish it while you were taking a bit of a break from GJ?

you've got some pretty nice skills for just being a guy working in his garage. :bowdown:

Honestly... I have been disappointed in them. Do you have a set that you do like?

Agreed! Its sad how generic and boring a lot of newer stuff is.

The Lambo has been in limbo. I have been going back and forth on how much power I actually want to try and push and debated on putting it back together completely stock or shooting for 700-800 or 1000k hp +. Been talking to several shops about the machine work needed and just haven't figured out what I want to do with it.

Thanks... I have always tried to find really good mechanics / tuners / fabricators and learn from them. So much to know with this hobby....not enough time.

Hope that your doing well!

You may have misread my post.. not sure.. just commented that those grips are garbage.. I picked up the smallest pair for free-unused.. it’s horrible quality-Snap-On is apparently slapping their name on anything to make a buck in some cases.

I was agreeing with you.... I don't like them much either.

Is there another brand / set that you do like?

drivesitfar · Nov 6, 2017

MH: i'm doing great up here in the PNW even though it just snowed the last few days. it takes me a while to post after reading and looking at all your cool pictures cause i need to wipe off the saliva off my laptop to write a post.

DAMN is all i can say and keep up the great progress. looks like business is supporting your cool tools, cars and lifestyle nicely so i hope it keeps doing so.

if you want to start collecting some of the VINTAGE TOOLS you might find out that some of the new stuff is really made pretty cheap compared to ones that were made even before WWII, but i bet you don't go to many tool auctions or garage sales.

keep posting pictures and stuff as you have time to and ask questions if you have any about tools or how to do something on your thread or just start new threads or ask questions on those threads talking about subjects you need information on.

take care!!

Madhatter10-6 · Nov 13, 2017

Working on fab skills....doing a water neck for a 2J swapped 300ZX

Ended up having to fill in a lot of material for the cutout....my first time welding cast

Went and helped my buddy with his Porsche yesterday....car only has a couple thousand miles and he is already tearing it apart lol.

Current project is swapping the front end over to the 911 fenders / lights and bumper.

The left side here is 991 and the right is 718

Clemson13 · Nov 13, 2017

Do the the fenders and bumpers just line right up!? Or were there some brackets making that work.

I wish that they had made it that easy to just bolt up.....its gonna end up being fairly involved. The front and inner bolts up perfectly...the issue is that this fender is taller and and not as long as the OEM 718 fender. So there is a gap between it and the door.

Maybe get the 991 door...maybe Frankenstein the old fender and new...not sure yet.

metalhead140 · Nov 13, 2017

Thanks for the update, I always enjoy your projects. You get to play with stuff most of us only dream about. Keep us updated!
