According to the sheriff, he asked Michael about both the parts and the money. The booze in evidence was worth considerably more than my $470.00 investment, so I don't think my check was the only cont ...

Based on an add placed on this website, I purchased an lsd and other parts from Michael Neubaum two months ago. He cashed my check and then stopped responding to all phone and email inquiries. I had ...

Count me in. I'll write the check today for your asking price, just send me your address. If you would prefer, I can wire money on Monday. I'm putting a rebuilt 2.0 engine and a 5 speed in my '74 16 ...

Thanks for the advise. I jumped the solenoid and the starter cranked right over. I got the car running and managed to drive it home. So, now I can examine things more carefully. Having removed t ...

My '74 1602 is awaiting its new engine and 5 speed (another month or so). In the meantime, I'm trying to keep things running. The original Solex carb is very worn and the engine is burning enough oil ...

I'll take #27 - the Repa seat belts. Let me know the net cost and how you'd like payment made.

I have a spare instrument cluster in good shape - any trade in value to you? I bought the spare cluster to attempt a black finish, but since you've already done it....

Count me in when you have more available. I'm in Seattle.

Well, after talking it over with my mechanics at Group 2 in Seattle, I've decided to stick with the 1.6 engine and just rebuild it for much higher performance - upgraded cams, fuel and exhuast systems ...

Group 2 in Seattle works on quite a few, including my 1602 and 2002 and my Alfa Spider. Joe English owns the place - honest, experienced, etc. Also, Cartenders in Seattle is well thought of for bimm ...

Yes...yes. 1972. My first year in college. I went from a Hillman Minx, to a MGA, then an MGB, then an Alfa Giulietta Spider (lovely car!), then an MGBGT, then a Datun 510 that really, really wanted ...

Well, for me the issue is a little different - I'm not opposed to modern reliability. What I get excited about is the iconic styling and feel of some older cars. So, while I generally wouldn't conside ...

I have to admit, the 1.6 engine is starting to grow on me. It does rev quite freely and is actually reasonably responsive once things get going. It certainly needs new rings at this point, which mea ...

I've now bought my second '02 in four months. The first is a Jade Green '76 that I'm refurbishing for my son. That car is currently at the body shop getting its various dings sorted out and repainted ...

I noticed on the Pheonix blog that the original heater box cover has the attachment point for the valve broken off, but the restored box has the attachment in place. My box has a broken attachment po ...

Thanks for the info guys! It's incredible how much support there is on this site. I guess I'll wait on the ceiling issues until I'm ready to pop all the glass and redo the liner.

So far I've been gathering parts and information. I've determined that the carb is a Weber 38/38. It runs very well when warm, but is getting poor gas mileage and needs adjusting.
The engine block ...

My transmission serial # is 459437/6. Not that it means anything if there's no database.

Based on the Vin FAQ, it looks like my engine is more likely out of a late 1970 2002, which probably makes ...

I've searched the forum, but I can't find any info on how to identify my transmission. I have the serial number - 459437/6, but I can't get anything from this. I tried both the Getrag website and the ...

I removed the covers and noted that the large screws holding the seat back to the hinge mechanisms were loose, but even after tightening these I still had considerable side to side play when the seat ...

I removed the covers and noted that the large screws holding the seat back to the hinge mechanisms were loose, but even after tightening these I still had considerable side to side play when the seat ...

Is it normal for the front seat backs to have considerable lateral play when released from the fixed position, such as when someone is trying to get in the back seat? It feels like the hinge points a ...

I'm wondering about what resources are available in and around Seattle for various services on my 2002. I spoke with Wes Ingram regarding fuel injection since I've known about him through his work on ...

Thanks so much for the offer, but I'm in Seattle, as I should have mentioned. I'd certainly consider used ones if any were available near me.

I have just bought a '76 '02. My interior liner and the hardboard support (I'm guessing here) are drooping down aft of the sunroof and can be pushed up and down readily. I'm concerned that they may h ...

My heater makes unhappy noises - kind of a scraping, metal to metal sound. I think its bearings, but it's not really a screeching sound and the fan actually runs. I'm wondering if it might actually ...

I have a '76 '02 in Jade Green. Both doors have sustained minor impact damage in the past and were poorly repaired, and the interior sheetmetal has been mangled for speakers. I have a quote from an ...

In need of new panels and water seals for '76. Thanks!

I'm new to this bb, live near Seattle and just bought a 76 02 which I intend to bring back to full reliability for my 21 y.o. son in Colorado who is currently in engineering school and ready for his ...
