Is there a request out there to make a own ghetto version of L-jet cruise control? I can make it happen. My car doesn't seem to be equipped with it.

Thanks for the tip, I checked out some pics. We just got a belt ordered from O'Reillys, it's 38 3/8" and that should cover the resulting gap I measured compared to stock. As for a tensioner bracket, we should be able to whip something up. Plans: 1. Universal parallel flow condensor 2. Get all t...

For the condenser, I'm probably going to spring for one of these. http://www.universalacparts.com/product/UNIVERSAL-CONDENSER-16-X-20 This hole was drilled out with a series of drill bits up to 21/32". My boss showed me how to 'mill' stuff and keep the hole centered by continually measuring and...

I've talked to a few people stationed near Dubai. They said even people with seemlingly mediocre jobs like customs officers were driving around new Maseratis. Oil is power.

Thank you for visiting my thread. As a reward, here's a picture of Bert with his long term project. Back in March, I ran a 900 mile horseshoe through Arizona. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr210/zepplin64/DSC_3086_zpspzbibxcn.jpg Anyway, I noticed the thread about Sanden universal brackets and ...

Although mine is garnet red, granatrot, this site doesnt show one. That ran from 1974-1978. (shrugs shoulders)

USA-CAL-LHD =diving board bumpers and a restricted engine. cmon now!

any updates?

As I cruise around, a few people have referred to my car as "small" . Is there some dimensional illusion going on? I believe at some angles, our cars definitely aren't wide, and they certainly look long. Should they be called slim coupes?

British Top Gear has gone down hill over the past 2 years. They try too hard to be funny. I think the format has worn thin. How about giving giving James May his own car show??..

I heard someone was parting out an old e12 unit in Arizona.

I picked up this used wheel from a 79' florida car. The leather was cracked but all intact. Stitching was ok. I decided to give "leather nu" a shot. If you have the patience for body repair, fiberglass, bondo, etc, then this repair is feasible. Now I have a wheel that looks original and bl...

in the snow and salt!? Did it have rust holes?

This was my queen. Now an obituary. 1985 Moto Guzzi v50 NATO. A retired dutch military police bike with a full 3 piece fairing. It was quite a headturner at the guzzi riders rally in new mexico. I was waiting a stop light and witnessed 2 pickup trucks hit each other. I got hit by one truck that defl...

That's an interesting procedure and I noticed that same action when I rented a Z4. Unfortunately its not that easy for us with weak window motors. I usually give my windows "help" for the way back up.

This is a good thread, I wanted to post another question. How reliable is the older latch design? The one that they ran up to 08/77' with the separate lock on the left side. Is anyone familiar with that one?

Its final, the Bavarian princess is legitimate in the USA. I figured that it would look better to break the law and trim the plate rather than have a custom plate made with my numbers. The latter just begs to have the car pulled over. A simple kick shear deal. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr21...

Interesting demonstration of the rules of that race.

Might I ask what your trying to carfax? I dont think it gives any accurate results for vehicles before 1990. I had one of those one month unlimited deals and had fun running VINs at a grocery store parking lot.

Just trying to keep up with the dry rot. It was a tense situation removing and reinstalling the window to change the channel rubber, but a straight forward job. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr210/zepplin64/DSC_3089_zps13c2c05d.jpg And the neat little interior triangle trim piece - $30 from the...

What kind of cargo plane goes Mach 1? Oh wwait it was the fighters. lol

Pretty much in the middle, #4 lower exhaust stud.

Even with the way the motor is canted? Brucey I know your probably right, im just trying to comfort myself. The head is stamped 79' anyway. When I purchased the vehicle I spied a 79 and still bargained with the owner that the car required lead additive. So if I should purchase a head, so be it. I'll...

As some you know I just changed a "set of 3" exhaust manifold gasket. When everything was bolted back to together, I noticed one drop of coolant on the exhaust stud. Now its fun to theorize if the coolant deteriorated the exhaust gasket or the escaping hot exhaust cooked part of the head g...

is that like Gumball 3000?
