Well, I haven't had much time lately but since I cannot sleep, here is what I meant to do 2 months ago..
Problematik and I decided to buy ourselves a project car as a little Christmas present.. We both always loved the 745i Turbo and always wanted one..
To those who don't know, these were never sold in the U.S. market! The few rare ones in the U.S. were imported from Germany in the late 80's.. This one is titled (which is rare) and fully loaded.. I am not going to name all the options, but that leather is Water Buffalo Leather!
These things are beasts, they can handle lots of boost and offer easy hp gains.. I cannot wait to restore it and rebuild it.. We plan one day to have well over 450hp with a manual swap, BBS's and much much more!
It was bought in NYC and shipped over here.. The car is at Eurotech getting checked out right now, I will post more pics in the future and will make a build thread later on as well.. Oh and the car is Dark Gunmetal..

Instead of a lengthy post, see these YouTube videos for more info on what the car will resemble.. (I know, these are vids, but its relevant to the pics.. Mods: Please do not delete!)
