Well I got a replacement for the CB, probably will get another after some time but for now this will serve as my daily.
Below will be a timeline of the progress.
March, 2015
September, 2014
May, 2014 (When purchased)
Its a 1995 E34 with a slush box for now but it was cheap and great body, phenomenal paint, no rust, and the best part 160K miles.
The main issue as to why it is so cheap is the transmission goes into limp mode sporadically (something electrical is wrong), which I do plan to do a manual swap after awhile, but if I can fix the problem cheaply it will at least buy me some time to find a great bargain on the manual parts needed. Another little thing that will be annoying is no real cup holder. The HELL?!
Here are some of the pictures from the craigslist ad.
Here is some more current pictures of the work so far.
