Not sure what happen, it was another wonderful day in the south of France…we have rolled 3750 miles through Europe to date…headed to Grasse tomorrow…day 31 of 42

Day 31 of 42,,,,,,  Well Done Congrats.  I'm guessing this has been planned for quite a while. ?  

Had some right front clunking ended up being the inside brake pad moving up and down.

Tweaked the retaining metal piece that is held in by the pins to apply more pressure on the pads.

Amazing how loud the pads can be.

Seen a Pastellblau 2002 at The Vintage car was beautiful. My new favorite color.

In search of

55k No way. Guessing worth half that at best.  Ace is being to nice.

Heading out tomorrow afternoon for The Vintage. 675 miles Michigan to Asheville.

Cheating a bit going to tow it down.  If by myself would drive it but S/O was very concerned and hinted towards a truck.

She never says a world about my cars so no problem plus three people gets pretty crowded.

I mean a 49 year old car two 64 year olds and a child with a disability,   what could go wrong.?

Hope the weather holds off.

Did the Kooglewerks preorder for their header. Should be a month happy birthday to me.

Points timing dwell carbs tweak and an oil change. 

 Had to tech myself how to do points again, been 40 years or so. 

Exhaust adjustment.

Spent Friday tweaking  the 40 Webers. butt dyno says better. 

Doing odds n ends for The Vintage.

I like most colors but Chamonix Colorado Turkis Derby Golf Inka.

I'm okay with non factory colors also. Audi Glut Orange.

PO painted it that color couldn't find Inka or something.

This just popped up.

I dont mind either car at a glance.  The white one you could lose the spoiler stripe easy and I would remove the roll cage

also. Cage is just a cheap bolt in but can be dangerous in a street car. Smack your head on that one time would be all it takes.

Would need to see the underside of it and the suspension first. Needs air filters also. Like the look though.

Red car looks nice at a glance also and more stock. Paint is almost to shiny, curious  whats underneath. 

Neither is cheap.  

I was surprised  I was a veteran.   

Badges ?   We don't need no sticking badges.

I'm worried about driving to The Vintage 675 miles. These guys take their cars to Germany.  ?

You can post a Want to Buy ad in the classifieds.  Some have had good luck with it.

Just to confirm on that red one,  no nope never not gunna happen run don't walk away from that one. 

You'r being wise to ask here.  I looked for two years to find mine.  

How long have you been looking and price range if you don't mind my asking ?

I thought that was the 76 being sold as a 73.  They did finally change the ad.  I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone.

This car has been for sale quite a while.     Danger Danger Will Rogers

IIRC price was $40.  to register, been so long.  Wouldn't think its worth much more than that. 

The Vintage has a facebook page with people saying they can't go almost everyday.

Great event and the Clarion parking lot alone is worth the price of admission.

So cool, this trip needs its own thread.  Have fun and keep us up to date.  ? 

Thanks sherman

Installed a new fuel filler gasket and new rubber fuel line off the gas tank.
