Well, my summer project finally came to fruition today. Bought a 1987 BMW 635 csi Shark Nose (longtime goal) from my good friend Bill Smith in June. Good shape but engine was frozen. Spent last three months rebuilding a replacement engine, fixing the interior, added Euro rear headrests and rear spoiler. She ran today for the first time in 20 years! Still have some mechanical and cosmetic issues to sort but she’ll be registered and in the S GA roads by month’s end. Here’s a snapshot of the project:

Great time cruising the S GA countryside yesterday with my “British Invasion” brethren. Perfect top down Spring weather (except for Mark Heffelfinger in the Mini!). Shirley, our 1959 Austin Healey 3000 ran like a champ! Artistic photo courtesy of Mark Heffelfinger. Video courtesy of Robby Hastings.

Making measured progress. She’s got a face again!

Wonderful run over to Bainbridge, GA today with my Brit car mate Robby to pick up his new project…1960 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. This will definitely keep him busy for the foreseeable future but what a cool find 😎! Met some great folks along the way as well.
