much less than that. That is if you already have one to be rebuilt.

Don't forget there is a "008" vacuum retard dizzy too.

I and others in the PDX area have had good experience with these folks

I probably should have posed that question to you directly because I thought you would likely know. When I see these on ebay I can't tell the difference and I wonder if what the seller is selling is legitimate or not.

Thanks to Max and MikeG too, perhaps I wasn't clear with my original question.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Thanks

How can you tell the difference between the two of these?

Thanks,

Schwarz seems to be more common in the later cars than earlier ones.

Florida seems pretty rare although I've seen a few pop on ebay from time to time and know of one in Portland and of another that somebody parted. I've seen more than a handful of ceylon 02s too. It seems ceylon, siennabrau and sahara 02s tended to get painted different colors as tastes changed.

I've seen two tundra tiis and one cabriolet in person (two of these at the second Spring Fest and I owned the other) and know of few others through the net.

All I know is that sahara, chamonix, polaris, inka, verona, granada, golf, siennabrau, colorado, anthracite, agave, malaga, fjord and ???? aren't.

Any of the Diana colors would of course be rare

Me too. Maybe 3/4 full.

That car's paint is quite nice, very flat. Great color too. Too bad the engine bay didn't get the same treatment. Everything else appears to be done.

The car was painted 14 years ago, whatever was lurking under the paint likely would have shown itself by now.

Some companies don't ship items that are ruined once frozen during this time of year. Wurth SKS comes to mind when I think of this.

I doubt if the plastic runners had anything to do with it.

I'm a little sketchy of a group buy in which the organizer doesn't appear to be a regular.

Early has metal spokes like the Turbo.

Where's the Eiscafe that the colorado, touring tii is parked in front of?

have pointy overriders too. -J

Throw in a handful of nuts & bolts with the marine clean to help scrape the rust scale from the inside of the tank.

That polished lip looks like polished aluminum alloy to me. Doesn't mg, when polished, have a greenish tent?

I purchased them through Pack Racing. Great company to deal with.

I agree with the others, if anything, all of this style of wheel are knock-offs of vintage minilites.

My Superlites were less expensive and a bit heavier than the panasports. They are a very strong wheel though with an excellent finish. Been driving on them everyday for year now and they still look like new. You can also get a 10 spoke version too.

That would be even more tailor-made.

will your insurance co. drop you after an accident?

From you earlier posts I gathered that you intend to drive this on the street.

For a restoration you may want to do with what the others are saying but for an everyday car that isn't going under the knife again wax proofing is a good idea.

-Spray into the rockers

-in the cavity above the upper rear spring mount

-behind the front turn lamps from behind (within the wheel well)

-inside the front frame rails

-around the pedal box

-Any seams or lips under the car

-inside the cavity in the nose just below the radiator

-between the quarter panel and the rear rear well. You can reach this from the trunk and when the rear seat is removed

see the plugs mentioned in your post.

Your 008 is a tii dizzy, right? Not 008 vacumn dizzy w/o the vacumn cannister?

Your still using an early injection pump not a later one, right?
