Coolest car combo ever, both properly though. Great work on getting rid of the asmatic 305, and the manual trans doesn't make it any less cool either.
What engine is the bimmer running?

Nice to see a bit of Yankee 80s pickup muscle on here, for a change. Rare to see a manual American car. Any more pix? Inside/ engine bay etc?
Do you do much offroading, or is that just for the picture?

Thanks guys The BMW is a stock M50 (2.5 inline 6) with headers and all the BS removed. Though I have just purchased a large turbo for next season... See video for demonstration: Here's a shot of the 305 after the new carb went on. It ran so good for about... 3 days haha As for offroad, I live in offroad heaven - actually. There's more logging roads and trails than actual tarmac here, and hillclimbs all over the place. Here's some slightly older pics One of the reasons I cut the back of the bed up... big dumb chrome got in the way Bus-like driving experience

Awesome, good to see another one on here - here's a quick shameless pic of my '75. It's remarkably similar spec, although mine has the 400ci smallblock and TH350 in it (with edelbrock performer intake and 600cfm carb). Got an 8 inch skyjacker lift kit that I need to fit (I was gonna go 4" and 35s, but this stuff came up at a price I couldn't resist.... lol). Don't suppose you know anyone who has any rust free bed sides do ya? Cheers, Martin

That looks great dude! 8" is going to be huge man, you figured out driveshaft stuff yet?
There's a junkyard 10mins south from me that has 2 fairly mint shortboxes and a couple K5 blazers too haha. But to be honest, it's only slightly more expensive to buy new panels.
Oh by the way... I'm living in Canada now, sorry haha
