gdog Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ah man, sorry to hear about your car's damage! Have really enjoyed this thread over the years; always learn something from your posts. But sounds like you've got a plan and positive outlook for your next ride. Best of luck! Looking forward to a new thread (or a continuation of this one?)

Commander Riker Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Your car has come a very long way. Have always love the look of it. Find another ME7 P80 R... swap all your bits into it. That's my vote. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to a new thread (or a continuation of this one?) Thanks man, I truly appreciate the kind words! The new project will be a pseudo-continuation of this one. Lots of parts will be exchanged between the 2 wagons and my plan will effectively continue but in a new chassis.

I'm not going anywhere, just wanted to move onto a more unique color and cleaner chassis to start with. On 5/12/2017 at 7:12 AM, Commander Riker said: Your car has come a very long way.

By the way, I'm dubbing this the "Lucas" mod - refers to when you replace your silver R with a 00 Venetian and then M66 swap it! On 5/12/2017 at 9:19 AM, apeacock said: Might be happening! See you Monday night brah! On 5/12/2017 at 1:07 PM, NB-V70R said: Sad to see it go, but excited for the future! On to bigger and better things..... I'm very excited for the next few years. Friday evening I hopped a flight to Denver to visit with some friends and earlier this morning I bought a Venetian Red 2000 V70 R with the 2 tone interior and a bunch of cool options. My ultimate plan is to swap the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension, BBK, and misc. other mods from my 99 R into the 00 R. So in many ways my 99 R will live on in my new wagon. The road trip back to New York starts in the morning, so stay tuned! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Riker Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hell yeah! That's awesome. I don't know about naming the car swap after me... as yours will be your own and probably a better version. Can't wait to see it's progression. How many miles on yours? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 That looks great! Next to Saffron and Lazer blue, Venetian Red is one of my favorites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to Saffron and Lazer blue, Venetian Red is one of my favorites! Thank you, and I agree that Saffron and Lazer are both very sharp colors. Sorry for the slow replies guys, it was a crazy week and I didn't have any free time to sit down in front of my computer. Got a really good photo of me with my 99 R at Carlisle yesterday. It was a fun weekend and felt good to be driving this car again - it's much more engaging to drive than the Venetian at the moment. Photo credit goes to Melvin ( @aldebaran) Thanks again Melvin! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
