Major Score At Lowes

I guess I just peel it off. Maybe a heat gun would loosen it up.

Its a BMW that I always wanted, but could never afford. I finally found one that is beat up enough that I can afford it. I was supposed to get it today, but it's been delayed. Hopefully tomorrow.

I have been happily working on the Touring, but it's going to have to be put on hold for a few months. I am not selling it (yet).

I was going to keep working on this car until it was done,...

[twright]

I'm anxiously waiting for an update to this. Any new info?...

[twright]

BTW, If anybody needs a loaner Generator, please let me know. This one is available.

It's probably too heavy to ship, but anyone local can just come and get it.

[twright]

Does that make the Bug worth $200,000?...

[twright]

Before you put it back together, get a good luck at the sealing surfaces of the pump and the banjo fitting. If they aren't both smooth, it will never seal.

Did you change the o'ring on the oil return tube? There could some big time air leaks here.

I thought it was OK in California if it had an engine that had previously been sold in California.

Is there another problem?

[twright]

A few other details I forgot to include:

1.) The engine had never been run. The top of the piston was a clean as it was when they installed it in the engine. This unit is brand new!...

This is completely off topic, but I feel obligated to report it anyway.

I went to my local hardware store (Lowes) to buy some toilet repair parts. I picked up the parts, paid for them and...

The show also says that a Triumph Herald is worth $100,000.

I call B.S.

[twright]

If I put a stock M20 in it, will you buy it?...

[twright]

My current plan is to work on it and drive it. When I get all of the things I don't like about it fixed, it is likely that I will be tired of it and sell it.

This is a win/win situation...

Try "realoem.com"

They are available in Europe. You just have to keep looking for the right one at the right price. Or, you can use one of the guys in Europe that have found they can sell these cars to Americans for...

I have a better place to start: Have the rear subframe bushings ever been changed? If these are original, the rear will be all over the place. Change these first.

[twright]

I have refinished 3 rear bumpers. The first one I sanded down, polished and clear coated. The next two, I stripped using hot water and a whole can of Drano.

the Drano method worked much...

You can have this one in 6-12 months. I like to buy these cars, drive them and work on them. When I get everything refreshed and working perfectly, I sell them. Where are you located?

The Daytona Violet Edition was sightly rare. ( I have been told that the Mugello Rot version had even smaller production numbers.)

They all started in Europe. Some crazy Americans have even...
