Last wash before putting up for the season on a 48° day. Oh boy,winter ?

I bought the HF Braun LED Light.  Appears to be a nice piece. Thanks for the tip on it.

Seller ended ebay listing

Not a thing haven't driven it in two weeks. Just looked at all the saw dust covering it from doing house projects before the Michigan winter. Plan to drive it Saturday for sure.  Also purchased yellow paint to correct that dipstick.  Love the little details.

You guys are a bad influence.  

AEM also makes a very good one if not one of the best.

SOLD

I forgot about this thread. Ended up with a Renown steering wheel.  Nice wheel has the motorsport colors for stitching.

A little small  330mm in tight spaces, otherwise perfect.   Great purchase have shift knob that matched.

Just a picture I know but would try to save.  Nice find.  

I had my Touring back seat redyed and looks brand new. 

My concerns are the paint work looks pretty poorly done.  Also the amount of undercoating that is very liberally  applied

to the undercarriage .  What's it hiding ?  The new owner story of I didn't think I would be high bidder is suspect also.

I would be concerned he got the car and is not happy with it.    If interested I would get a thorough PPI or see it in person.

I would pass on it. 

I used Superbrightleds.com bulbs the NAPA light relay and Hal Boyles led third brake light kit.

Everything works like factory. Bright and reasonably priced.

But what is the reason behind the policy?  Only thing I can think of is that the spacers would cause vibration.  In any case a little explanation as to why from the employee would go a long way. 

Lawyers

Ha,, I live in Michigan and Discount Tire won't touch a car with spacers.  One of my Son's worked a Discount Tire years back and he said it was policy back then.  Liability  

Car does look great, love silver on German cars.   

Mine had a vibration around  three k this past Summer.  Started checking everything underneath with no luck.

My Son suggested the exhaust and it ended up being just  a loose exhaust clamp. Was surprised on how loose it was.

Sometimes it the simple things.

Wow - never dawned on me. This makes so much sense. Here I have been trying to bottom out the jets in the holders before inserting them. Can't wait to try out the "right" way tomorrow.

I checked and redid my jets and all four bottomed out.  Don't know if that statement about the jets is true  ???

Pierce or Carbs Unlimited

Pierce is  cheaper but shipping is expensive and their closed Fridays.

Everything in the photo was $135.00 

Great shop I have been using for years. 

I would pay double that in Michigan easy,   Great job so far more pictures when you can.

Looks like a 5 gal. bucket of undercoating was slopped on with a brush.   Work looks quick and dirty.?

Mike, use the GoFundMe link. That will take you directly to it.  Then click  donate now. They only take credit cards I think.

I help out a friend that does Evo race transmissions. Plastic tubs would come in all trashed and broken. Especially with the weather turning cold, plastic becomes brittle and cracks easy.  Freight company  won't pay a claim because of improper packaging.

Wood crate or box with insulation board work pretty well. Better if you know someone that ships with a spray foam machine.

PDR guy did a great job. I would say 98% gone it was a deep sharp dent and he was worried about cracking the paint.

Repaired two other very small dings.  Since it was Thursday I got a free lunch on the grill and was invited back any Thursday.?

I took the interior door panel off just incase but really wanted to look inside door to see the condition of door.

Door is in great shape, PO had used house wrap and tape to waterproof the door. Will redo and adjust the door a smidge.

Oh that rabbit hole..

JP5, you'll definitely be able to get a good PDR guy to fix that!  Good luck at the docs!

I polished the tail light lenses and repacked the rear marker lenses, along with a little cleanup. Still a lot to go (and she's going in for a manual swap in about a month) but I love this car! 

Thursday 11:00 with PDR guy,cautiously optimistic.  Thank You doc says numbers r textbook.  ?

Love the color of your 02
