What size tires are you using on those stock rims. I want to bump mine from the smaller OEM size

Randy,

Kuhmo 185/70-13.  Bought Kumho's before Pirelli came back with the CN36's.

"Clocked" my windshield wiper mechanism, then installed the wiper arms and blades. Everything worked great.

Tried to get the sunroof's headliner panel installed, but ran into troubles there. I'll revisit it later and try some things.

I also finished some fuel hardline sections where the new return line enters the trunk.

Turned the key and listened to the engine turn over. YAY!!!

We're not running yet, but we're very, very close.

Had to change out the fuel pump and the fuel line from the firewall to the carburettor.  On my '72, the hard plastic fuel line from the firewall was directly inserted into the 8mm line going to the fuel pump and clamped.  That did not look right to me.  So, I bought a 5/16 to 1/4 brass reducer. Turned the 1/4 side on my little lathe.  Created a head of about .245, neck of about .220.  Clamped the two hoses together.  This connection is not going to leak air or come off.

Like what you did. Will be interested to buy one if you decide make/ have extra one.

Got my Frankenstein 74 2002tii running nice and now I'm just waiting to have the exhaust put back together, and I'm gonna lower it soon. Gonna have to have a friend weld me some seat brackets so the E30 seats bolt in properly as well

Just realized today that our 74 baur #577 is the front car in picture on cover of Oct. ROUNDEL as well as on the article on OKTOBERFEST....

Brazed the front fenders, filled and shaped both sides then put a 2nd coat of epoxy primer on. Followed up with 2 coats of high build primer on the front half. Will finish off the rest of the car tomorrow. Then went and bought a set of sweet rims. I had minilites on a 510 back in the late 70’s and I’ve always wanted a set for a 2002. Now I do!

Rally. Unfortunately, it rained all day but the car finished. I developed a charging issue but I'll sort that when we get home.

I know some people don’t like minilites because they say “everyone has them”

But you can see why, they are a lovely wheel!

and easy  to clean,

I know.... I have bloody weaves?
