Song,
Is it possible to overhaul the p/s pump without removing the pump body from the car?

If the gaskets have become adhered to the lens or housing, will decal remover help?

I received an email from the owner of Harbor Freight where he is donating all their stock of 5 and 7 mil. nitrile gloves to local hospitals.

I have been debating adding this reply. But we have to look at the opportunity to be home with our loved ones and to work on our 6'ers. I think the parts houses are working as is FedEx and Amazon Prime. Also, spring is coming although most of the botanical gardens are closed. Washington DC has a "Bl...

On Jan 26th, my wife and I went to a Fuel Fed Coffee event on SW 7th St, in Ft. Lauderdale. There was a white 635CSI. I wanted to chat with the owner, but I couldn't find the chap (or lass). I've got my own 633 (which is safely stored in NY for the winter) so I'm not looking to buy. Just pleasant hi...

I'm reminded of the Patek Phillippe advert: we only hold it in trust for the next generation. So while I admire the science project aspect of this, as a re-do of a piece of rolling art (engine included), this would not be my first choice.

Mine is 6997510, Bronzit Beige with the pearl beige interior.
Welcome to the fun!

Awesome progress in 9 months' time!

Don't forget the silver heat conductive paste to bed the transistor for better heat dispersal.

I haven't needed it yet, but previous posters mentioned Drive Shaft Specialist in San Antonio TX (www.driveshaftspecialist.com) and Beyer Drivelines in Chandler AZ ([email protected])
This IS NOT a recommendation as I haven't used either but perhaps some other Coupers can chime in.

What if you mount the winch to the back side of the lift with a snatch block mounted to the wall to line up with the centerline of the car (or the tow loop on the passenger side)? Then you have 2x the mechanical advantage and therefore you can use a really small winch.

Zinnocoupe: It's not a seal but a "seal carrier" that is shaped like a plug. Jay said it's not necessary, but what the hell, I was preparing for the worst. Cheaping out on brakes and brake parts is foolish. It goes in the servo unit. See realoem !https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=5284-US...

Song, Definitely let Jay Stratton rebuild your booster with new seals. Also suggest you contact Bill Fox (Max Lumens) [email protected].com for the machined aluminum seal carrier to replace the plastic one and then send it with your booster to Jay. One assembly tip: fit the hydraulic lines to the M/C...

Sort of a question for you cooling experts: When does the A/C pusher fan come on? Is it only powered when the A/C is running or is it only thermostatically controlled? How does the temp at idle respond if you have the A/C on?
Jose is on the right track.

OUCH!

Hi, As mentioned, I covered the dead pedal on the drivers' side and made the passenger side a little wider. For the rear, I made them longer to fit under the power front seats. If you contact Chrissy at Cocomats, I'm sure she can send you the template for my car. There's no obligation although if yo...

Fix it and let the buyer pay the CA fees (or can you sell it out of state to re-register?)

My wife is using Luminar 4 for picture post processing as better than PS for color correction and enhancement

But those Bosal mufflers I am told are NLA.

The November 2019 issue of BMW Car published a story on the M30 engine. Not as detailed as I'd like it but it's not terrible.

Am I mistaken or are these rich prices for very sad, neglected and rusty e24s? When all said and done with mechanical, rubber and paint, you'd be into the US$30k area.....

Looking at the auction house website, they have "chosen not to publish the results." Any idea what these sad looking 635's sold for?

I saw your post from a few years ago and I'm in need of a new muffler (actually the rear section) and the Walker pops up on Amazon. But I have an '84 633Csi which is not supposed to accept the Walker. Anyone with any idea why it doesn't fit? or any suggestion for a reasonably priced solution?

Now that I refurbed my battery tray and the green oxygen tubing is holding up, the discharge from the battery is collected on my Walmart drip tray. The acid ate through the tin coating. A great example of the corrosive power of battery acid.
