other Rare Finds!

Yes, the presidential candidate is correct!  250mm is the e21 (big brake) rear brake set up... Connor at Vintage Autobahn pointed out that the Europeans would refer that brake style as "Turbo model brakes"... that sounds way better...

 

Ahhh yes... the uber-rare fuse box... This is where we delve into the seedier portions of this vehicle... As I stated before, the car is "molested" so shield your eyes if you are easily offended.  Seems the mechanical fuel pump stopped working so the "mechanics" who worked on the car previously, installed a electric pump in the trunk. They wired it directly under fuse #6, with.... speaker wire.  YESSSSSS

 

 

 

Not sure what the green wire under #5 is just yet... and don't ask me why the hell they soldered a fuse in between #2 and #3... Hopefully, I can get this sorted out without burning the car down.

 

good times...

About all fuse box talk, just remembered one rare thing that I left out.
I'm sure that this is quite rare, additional fuse box for additional headlights.

In the original packaging, wheel arch guards.  Got these from a container of NOS dealer parts that had been sitting in Newburg NY since the Eighties.

Those can be found in e28's.  Ed, you lucky guy, that car is worth it just for the airbox!

 

    Have fun:))

Went looking and yeah, seems that upper part is almost identical to e28, but bottom side plate is 02 only.

great parts shown here.   The question is...will you use these parts on your car or let them sit on the shelf as conversation pieces?

 

This would make for a good poll

My parts are on the car.

Since I rarely have visitors I'd have to install the rare parts to have conversations with people. [emoji16]

How about the NOS original Abarth Exhaust I put on this Spring.

Don't know if it is rare or not but this oil change sticker is still on my door pillar. I can't read the date on it.

Not to hijack the thread, I have one of those as well (Abarth Exhaust NOS) hanging in my attic.  Curious as to how you like it, sound, performance (if any)???? I know one thing for sure they are built like a freegin Tiger tank, super stout,definitely a few pounds more than a standard system - just based on the girth of the center resonator.

I have abarth exhaust and just love it. It's quiet in the inside and loud at back. Just the combination for me. Also a burble from exhaust pipe that is common to all Abarth vehicles.
