I bought a touring with a bad engine so Danny could have a black interior and I could part out the rest. I'm going to take the hood and tailgate off because they are straight and valuable, but I know doors and a lot of this other crap isn't worth much. Car has 200K paint is bad and shes just a little rough on the edges. So its not a rebuild candidate.
So, I have a stripped rolling shell. Scrap value isn't even really worth the time to tow it over to the metal yard so I'm thinking of cool stuff to do with it instead and want to hear some suggestions
I'm tempted to find the biggest junkyard engine I can find and try to shoehorn it in and make it run. If I did some sort of build there will be only 3 focuses: ensuring the car stops, ensuring the car steers and making the engine run. We don't need luxury items like a working gauge cluster, ABS or headlights.
I was sort of thinking a Rally Build would be pretty cool, try to raise the suspension by cutting the shock towers and welding them a few inches lower, weld on a pickup tailgate and a homemade bull bar...
Zombie Apocalypse Build - leave only the doors, BIG engine, weld some bull bars on. Idk. Danny has a welder now so that opens some doors. I'd have to wait until TWD is back on to do this though.
Pay Danny to attempt to rebuild the M62 that is in a million pieces. This isn't a build but it'd be very funny for me to watch
It's not something I'm going to be able to get to for awhile, especially in this freaking HEAT, but if anyone has any cool ideas maybe I can be on the lookout for stuff to make that idea happen until I can start a build this winter.
What ideas have you got?

Also, make sure and keep the rear doors as well, being touring specific. My buddy is swapping out the Detroit diesel in his K30 with an LS, he kept insisting that it needs to go in one of my cars

Make it a truck with some cummins inside
The current thought process is once it gets a bit cooler out we are going to look for an F150 or ford van or something and swap in the complete drivetrain into the E39 and just romp the heck out of it.
