*** VRP Project X55 ***
I am not sure what to call my car anymore but here are some teaser pics of the latest work on it. I have been very busy with the new shop coming up in Houston, TX and have not had time to complete this project.

Motor and Tranny out

if you need the c320 valve covers, let me know. No plans for the stock motor. It has 34k on it if anyone is interested.

Why do I get the impression that you're gonna keep this motor for about 10k miles then swap for a v12 biturbo?

haha mark. I should be able to work on this a little more next week after I transfer it to the new shop. I went over the engine last week. Need to swap out the upper and lower oil pans and pump as the s55 parts are different than e55 parts.

I am thrilled to see the car in its finished state. Its ashame it cant be finished sooner. Hopefully sunman will consider using the car finally instead of annually dissecting it.
