I decided to start workin on the truck now, not that there is much more to do... So decided to have a little fun to see what you guys think I purchased mainly using money I got from scrap metal I found laying around I wasn't gonna use. Waiting on some of the parts to still come in still, beambook marketplace and bbay sure does wonders.

I am currently rebuilding the engine to see what the hell went wrong, as well as adding some performance mods I salvaged off another Diesel D-series that was in the scrapyard. This engine is making it to 1mill miles, I don't care what it takes (is it true that when you reach 1mill miles on a truck, Gavril tries to give you a new one or something? I read something about that once).

Also, does anyone happen to have some mirrors for a D-series I could maybe buy? Single or a pair, I don't really care. One person I tried to message, just ghosted me and I'm unsure why....

After sleeping in the truck overnight, I decided I was done and got u/RichProgrammer9820 to deliver the Stambecco with a chain in it to help rescue the truck out of the middle of nowhere.

After a bit of struggling with the system, he was able to get it back here, where I got the chain hooked up and showed him how the Stambeccos system worked then had him ride in the truck to do some steering to avoid damaging it even more. Apparently, not the easiest thing to do according to him...

I'll probably end up working on it sometime over the week. For now, we are gonna go for a lil ride in the Grand Marshal as thats what he wanted to do before he left. Maybe he'll do some recording for you guys.

So quick question internet people, my 1988 D25 just stopped running (No bang, or overheating, just literally shut off) and now it won't start back up. I've tried beamgle results, to no avail and I've been here for hours now...

Would anyone have experience with these older diesel things? Or would know if the engine is even salvageable? I believe it has around 950k miles on it (the odometer don't work anymore so idk) if that could be a causing factor, however I've always tried to keep great maintenance on it.

I've spent a couple hours here before I decided to post to see if anyone would know anything about it.. Its dark and cold out and I'm currently taking shelter in the truck. I might just give up on it for the night and try again tomorrow.

Today I went and had a meeting with u/Captain_Nuggitz to grab some food and talk about our pasts. It honestly wasn't bad. I really did appreciate it.

I think I should feel more nostalgia or something with my families homes but in all honesty, I have more memories living under the bridge then I do living with my mother and stepfather. The only people I consider to be my family are my bridge community and my 2 younger siblings. Not my mom, not my stepfather, and certainly not whoever else they added to that damn home.

On top of all of that, I'm really... peeved right now because I owe about $2,000 in fines to the BCPD for a multitude of violations when they stopped me because of course they did. These guys themselves could be a whole post just ranting about them. Geez.

As I kinda said in the title, I went out earlier this morning to look at a Bluebuck.

Now when I was told about it originally, I was told the entire rear was smushed in so I thought it was only gonna be useful as a parts car. Having looked at it more, I somewhat see what the person I was talking to was talking about but also at the same time- no??

The Bluebuck or "Green Glory" (as I've decided to name it) is a 1963 Sport-line Bluebuck that was at one point modified slightly for oval racing. I don't think it was anything big, probably just some teens doing some dirt racing when beamcar was just starting out, eventually getting wrecked out during one of those races, then being forgotten about. Scrapyard owner said it was sitting there for a while (at least 15 years) so he gave it to me for cheap as he wanted it gone and not crushed. I'm honestly shocked it started up after a quick fluid flush at a gas station.

Oh yea! before I forget, if some of you are interested in some of those cars at the scrap yard, let me know. The owner only sells to a few people for some reason. Mostly people within the community. So I could get some of those things out of there, if you promise to pay me back?

Hello internet people! My name is Bentley Collie and I'm 23 turning 24 shortly. I recently was convinced to start posting by one of the people I've saved during a recovery,

I was a little skeptical when he first suggested it and for about a week or two just watched your guys' posts to see if I would be interested in posting myself. Well, I was convinced, so here I am lol!

Here are some interesting facts about me:

- Until about a year ago, I was homeless living in Belasco in the Stambecco till I saved enough to buy the camper I currently live in.

- I love all kinds of music. If I were to try and pick a favorite though, it would probably be from a older racing arcade game called "Sebring USA" or something along that line...

- My dad went missing around the time I was born (hence why his plate was last done in 2002). While I don't remember him at all, my mom did and it drove her crazy. I was raised by my mother for my childhood till I was kicked from at 16 after a huge argument. I haven't really talked to her sense.

- Obviously, I'm decently into cars. I love all kinds of builds (especially off-roader and lowrider builds) but my overall dream car is a Civetta Bolide, preferably a targa with the popups. I wouldn't really care what color it would be in as if I ever got one, I could always just repaint or wrap it.

I'm going to try and post some of the cool things that I discover on my "trail patrols" I do when calls don't come in, and some of the cool things I get to work with and repair.

Some nights it gets lonely out here by myself, no one really comes by to check on me or goes down this trail... So, I hope to get the opportunity to meet some people though this, Although, I hope I don't meet you guys though my work lol.
