Mine is currently a 240Z with a VQ35 swap, 6 speed, gutted with a BRE body kit on it

I'm seriously toying with the idea of this:
with a big, vintage, Jap inline 6 or V8 and a 5 or 6 speed. Konig Rewinds with fat rubber, rolled fenders, just a little bit of rake.
^^^Like this, but in a nice silver-blue with charcoal wheels.
Well, I had a pretty good idea of where I was headed until one of you jackholes posting this thing elsewhere. Now I am all berkeleyed up again.
What I currently own:
With this engine inside of it:
and this trans (NV4500):
Running/making bio diesel from the grease from Hunter House on the cheap. instead of SBC TBI w/ SM465
I can't tell you what my next project is, because the deal is still pending and someone else would surely swoop in and screw me by paying a fair price for it.
Hopefully it's parked out front (and partly on a stand in the garage).
BMW 2002
Supercharged M42
Homebuilt front and rear subframes
Transaxle mounted at the rear (944? Audi? Alfa?)
Still trying to decide between 2002 Turbo flares and the small Zender boxes
No time for pics, sorry... I do think they help with the daydreaming

I'm buying a house, I'm buying a house, I'm buying a house..... I was just searching Google for this (seriously) after looking at that 1500 dollar one in Atlanta and came here to find that thread on where to buy the motor.
California doesn't smog all the ones for sale here so its the perfect project for my new garage. That kit is ungodly good looking.
In reply to The0retical:
Seriously. I would love to build something like this. 300ish horsepower, caged with some R888s. I would be on cloud 9 for the rest of my life. Only if I had the money, place to build it, tools, time, ect...
After GPS' thread on "need moar BMW powerz", I now yearn for a stripped out, flared, Condor Speed Shop style E30 with the tiny M60B30. Sub 2200lbs and 250hp of little V8 would be AWESOME!!
I'm afraid to dream until I have a few months to spend in the shop. I have a nasty habit of building what I dream about.

Guilty!
My current dream is either a '80s turbo European car (either 900 Turbo or Volvo) or a '70s American V8 car.
3800SC in the bed of a 2nd gen S10
K-series in a 92/93 Accord Coupe
Gutted and boosted 3rd Gen Z24
Not so GRM, but still on my dream list:
VQ P11
S14 with RB26 and Attesa AWD
RB26 Lincoln LS
Turbo slant 6 4-door valiant/dart. Grandma green. Mild suspension and brake improvements. I know it's not much, but it's attainable and not beyond my skill level. A 12 second semi-sleeper.
Slightly farther down the road, the "Elise vs. NSX" debate goes on in my head pretty frequently.
A restomod split bumper camaro would be waaay up my list as well...but thats pretty far out of GRM territory
