  1. Thats roughly what I would have done. I think at this point I would ask a jobber (paint supplier) how to get better results.
  2. Is it possible to get a picture? I know it can be difficult to see in photographs. You are using BC/CC? How long has it been painted? How many coats of clear? What process are you using?
  3. Very clever!

    The seals would fold over instead of laying flat against the body. Like there wasn't enough space to allow them to lay flat while the doors closed. Ill see if I can make a picture
  5. Pretty car! I didn't spend alot of time in the gallery but I like pretty much everything about this car But that's a lot of money

    Love that old truck!! Also the car looks fabulous. How did your door seals turn out? Did you have similar problems to what I had?
  7. Check the fuses. If the motors bound up and you left it on, it probably blew the fuse
  8. It has been suggested before to get a digital volt meter. Still don't have one. Can't test for true voltage or resistance with a test light. Nobody can help you fix these things from a 1000 miles away if your not gonna do what they ask!!!
  9. I agree that electricity is one of the biggest hurdles. California already has issues producing and transferring power. With an enormous demand added, how will that be accomplished. Definitely not hydro! The lakes are already painfully low. Nuclears out, coal, nope. Natural gas is still an emitter. Green sources are erratic and storage of excess energy is a problem. Will be interesting to see how it plays out
  10. I did. Thanks for the email. That would be preferential to Facebook
  11. I have the blasting cabinet, although it can be tremendously slow. I have the same blasting basket And I have a similar tumbler Just need to figure out how to get the SS media
  12. They look pretty close. Im not sure I would worry about getting closer than that Edit: you might could scale the picture of the originals until the cable jacket is correct. Then take dimensions from the picture. We would do this all the time in Architecture
  13. Don't assume! Figure out how to direct wire it for testing
  14. I was surfing on my phone at the time and couldn't read the valve covers. Be careful, bad backs are no fun!!
  15. I have not researched the top errors much. Most of them seem to be motor issues. I'll do some looking...
  16. Looks like a Ferrari engine?
  17. Feel free to PM me questions. I have a good bit of BMW roadster experience. Ive owned like 6 or 7 Z3's and have bought like 6 Z4's
  18. You might want to look at relocating the pump to the trunk. The pump on the Z4 lives in a fish bowl. Also there is a mustang pump that can be used in lieu of the BMW pump. Its cheaper and faster
  19. Be sure and check the shift forks and sliders for wear. The 3rd gear maybe snapping in with slop from the slider
  20. Like a brand new car at 12k miles
  21. So what is a synopsis of your technique?
