  1. I couldn't tell that was a blob of molten metal on my phone
  2. At the pace I work!? I think you'll be fine... 😉
  3. Looks unavailable on the Amazon UK. I did find it online for about $300 USD
  4. White post has a good reputation. How is the cost?
  5. Yeah, those bearings weren't long for this world...
  6. Good tips. I would have pulled it too tight probably
  7. Thanks guys! Any advise on the windlace or the gluing process?
  8. I may need a pair too because I am looking at doing a similar door panel finish
  9. So I need some advise. I need to do the vinyl roof trim and the A pillar trim in the car. If I had been thinking, I would have done this while it was on the rotisserie, but I wasn't! I did the headliner this way. I don't know why I didn't do the rest then... So which order do the pieces go in? Sides first, then windshield header? Any pictures of how the ends are folded or detailed? What is the best way to go about it? Foam onto the vinyl first or foam on the car first? Glue applied to the vinyl or onto the car? Spray glue or yellow contact cement? I have been procrastinating on this but it's time to get it done. Thanks for any help C
  10. Did you ever figure this out?
  11. This will be unfortunate news if windshields are the new NLA! That will make installation that much more stressful
  12. Most states have laws against possession of stolen goods. Sounds like they didn't want to mess with him.
  13. Yes, I love the pantera. Always wanted one. I'm not sure the footspace isn't a bigger problem and the offset pedals.
  14. I had a college professor that had a Europa. It's an absolutely tiny and low car! I'm quite confident I wouldn't fit. Although that's probably true of most Lotuses 😁
  15. I found two different forums with similar pictures. Some interesting thoughts in these threads https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2384311-Need-Advice-on-Damaged-Piston https://motoredbikes.com/threads/detonation.42539/ Detonations seems to appears as finer pock marks almost bubbly looking
  16. The marks don't really look like a foreign object in the cylinder. You would expect them to be evenly distributed and they're not. I think Zed might be right. Too much timing advance?
  17. Patcon replied to Zup's topic in Body & Paint
    I just downloaded these. They aught to be a great help. Thanks for investing the time! C
  18. I may have a door for you. PM me C
  19. I would keep all 4. They have different ID's. Im hopeful at some point, someone will start making these using the original washers as a core @nix240z
  20. Those crenallated washers still have value to some people
  21. The blue chromate is very dark blue in the tank. It does brighten the raw zinc plating and give it a slight bluish hue. I find blue chromate much easier to do than the yellow zinc. The yellow seems to be much more time sensitive. Like to the second...
  22. That's a grungy booster!!! I think I would rebuild that... I had the same velour seats in my first 240z. The were in the car when I bought it in about 86'. I believe they were original to the car
  23. I couldn't get any of the pictures to load. Anyone else?
  24. I wasn't following. You were saying the parts are all zinc plated but all the yellow zinc was chromated with Hexavalent Chromium
