But, yeah, that would be cool. And you have the garage for it.

You could even do a YouTube vid and maybe pay for the project.
If you freeze this video at 0:17 it mentions using a 2007 BMW transmission. That guy races his SL500.

I don't know if that transmission will be cheaper, but it might be more accessible. 2007 is not that new either.

But I do have the garage for a cool project, that car has always been special to me, and I think it would be a goo dad/boys project and maybe even something cool to put in college/job applications for them.

Looks like half-decent SL600's can be had for $15-20k, so my wife did not tell me to go pound sand right off the bat.

Had not even thought of the youtube part. My youngest wants to make a video channel (mostly to post video game exploits).
