Seat install question

I'm trying to swap a set of manual buckets from an e36 m3 into my '79 633, naturally the bolt pattern is different....anyone know of an adapter available to make this more of a "bolt right up deal"? I don't want to start trying to jerry-rig the seats to make them fit....I don't think that'...

Re: what paint to use??

I'm a big fan of por-15 too, I've used it in the past, I just thought this might be a little quicker....I used Rust-oleum Rust Dissolver and it did take care of the rust on the frame rail, but I think I've used the wrong paint....I sprayed the rail with rust-oleum undercoating and then went back wit...

Re: Anyone know what happened to Ron Carter?

Dean....I've been to mye28 and logged onto that thread several times, but could not get a reply....apparently the guy who originally started that thread is on vacation for most of June. I may wind up jerry-riggin something just so I can start using these seats.

Anyone know what happened to Ron Carter?

Does anyone know how to contact Ron Carter? I stumbled across his info from several years ago and it's like he's vanished. He had made an adapter to convert e30 sport seats so we could use them in our e24's....I'm trying to make a set of e30 M3 sport seats work in my '79 6er....any ideas??

Re: Drivers door seal

Jamesmc....why don't you try and seal the cut that's in your current door seal with a waterproof silicone sealant....that might solve your problem without the expense and headaches of replacing your current door seal....just a thought.

Re: Interior rebuild

Hey Panson....I'm makin changes to my '79 6er interior and I'm lookin hard at Corbeau sport seats, if you're ok with vinyl, they have the front pair for $598 plus frames and shpg....not a bad price for a pretty good lookin seat and they're manual which I think is a good thing.

Yeah....SHE....the owner's a lady and as I mentioned, SHE seems to know what she's doing regarding leather restoration. If no one answers the phone at first, just leave a message and you'll get a return call quickly.

tire question on my '79 6er - I know somebody's tried this

Hey guys, I have 2 - 235/60/14 practically new tires mounted on the original 14" basketweave wheels from my '79....I know these 235's will work on the rear, does anyone know if 235's will work on the front....even with maybe spacers, without rubbing the shocks?



Thanks

mystery oil leak

Brucey, I'm pretty sure it's engine oil. I had a shop change the oil in this car several weeks ago and I've noticed the oil level on the dipstick is higher than I think it should be - I gave them six quarts and the filter, what I normally use. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?
