    Went through most of the spares that came with the car. I have a fuel set of front brakes that Im not likely to use (calipers and rotors) that appear to be I. Good condition. Thinking about letting them go to reduce the clutter but not sure what I should look for to confirm condition and prices…there’s more but let’s focus on the fun parts:

    I believed these were the old original camshafts but I used this as new cause to open up a line of communication with Sean, the gent who restored the car back in the UK. Turns out he believes these are actually Sprint camshafts. This is great news, but not sure how to verify.



    The next item I want to add to the car is the jack. Yes, sacrilege to add weight to the car, but I figured if I have the tool kit, a jack would also be a good piece of insurance. Where were these kept originally?



    Finally, I have what I believe are the pieces for the original parking brake, but I’ll start another thread for that just in case someone else is looking to restore an inoperable e-brake, so check that out soon and LMK​

        girl he been doing that for years

        2mAn are these tiny car adventures better than E30 life? Different? I also don't understand the Porsche thing, but I respekt it

        As I get older I really question all of this car stuff. The only thing I can loosely pin it down to is nostalgia

        At what point do you start adding u's to words?
