Day 28: The engine and transmission have been rejoined! Big pain in the patoot—I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if the engine was already in the car.
I have one more work day before my surgery, and one more day of work to get the engine and transmission ready for installation. Just need to put on the exhaust downpipes with new gaskets and hardware, plus new post-cat O2 sensors. #WeirdCarMastodon #EngineSwap #BMW #E39 #M54B30 #DIY #WrenchEveryDay

Today, another asymmetric American car, the AMC Pacer, which I saw at the Bremen Classic Motor Show in 2014. The compact Pacer, introduced in 1975, had unusual proportions that contributed to its unusual looks. It was much shorter than typical American cars of the time, but remained ‘full size’ in terms of its width. The passenger-side door was four inches longer than that on the driver’s side.

Where else can you see the 1910 "Beast of Turin," a 2025 Cadillac WEC prototype, and '80s touring cars swap paint during the same weekend?

Day 27: My flywheel/flex plate bolts got here a few days sooner than expected, so I'm getting a little more done this week than I thought I would. Had to wait until Johnny got home to torque them down, so that he could counter-hold the front crankshaft bolt, but the flywheel is on!
Tomorrow I can install the torque converter and reattach the transmission to the engine. #WeirdCarMastodon #EngineSwap #BMW #E39 #M54B30 #DIY #WrenchEveryDay
When I found the #diecast Volvo 780 Bertone coupé in the Netherlands I had to splurge on more "to ju$tify the shipping"

In years past there would be 100 or more private planes parked up around the show, but things have changed in recent years and there's way less. Here's what was on display.

After many, many delays, instead of a countdown or announcement, they just blew up the pyro that had been set up Friday night and not used due to the crash and early closure of the show.
Everyone was startled, it was loud.

This and your other albums are incredible.
Take note #WeirdCarMastodon if anyone is looking for funky retro arcade sound driving music.
Note to self: next Bandcamp Friday on the 25th
