  1. Thanks guys! I'll fab up a replacement to keep the car as close to stock as possible. Cheers!
  2. Yea at first I thought they were factory but there is some other welding work on the car that is definitely not factory. Thanks for reposting the pictures, I must have forgotten how to do it!
  3. Curious if these little "L" braces are stock from BMW or someone's (long ago) attempted rust repair. They are 16g steel and the rest of the floor is 18g. Thanks!
  4. Would you happen to have any bule vinyl for door cards?
  5. Hey Chris, thanks for the update, sorry to hear times have been rough lately but it sounds like you have a plan to get the business figured out. I have a set of your shorty SS bumpers on my '73 and I think they look great! I have been thinking about ditching the front over-riders for a set of seam covers though. I see they are listed on your website, should I place an order or would it be better to wait until you clear the backlog. Is this an item you will be keeping stocked going forward or will you only be selling full bumper kits? Thanks for continuing to support the 02 community!
  6. Hey Mo,

  7. Hey Mike,

     

    Could you kindly send me the column you wrote about adjusting the flasher relay so the dash blinker light is more reliable? I am having the same problem.

     

    Many thanks,
    Zack

  8. Hey do you still have the trap mirror?
     

    I'll take it if you do. Shipping to Portland Oregon.

     

    Thanks!

      Yea I do. Shipping is $7 via USPS. My PayPal is Kingryan86@gmail.com It’s already boxed up, I can drop it off tomorrow morning.

  9. Hey I notice you mentioned you have a set of black door cards and rear panels...What are you looking to get for them? I'm in Portland Oregon...

  10. There must have been something wrong with the 912 that you drove if it felt like crap. At the factory Porsche set up the suspension on the 912 a couple inches higher than the 911 so the 911 would be faster in the twisties - a correctly set up 912 can sometimes out perform a 911 on a really tight road due to better balance with less weight in the rear. I currently own a 912 and a tii and I love both, but to be totally honest the 912 handles better than my 02.
  11. Neat to see them together. I have a 912 and a roundie 2002 but never get them out together. They are both great cars in their own way.
  12. I got belts from him about 18 months ago. They are great and I feel fine with my kids in the back now that I have 3-point belts. He's a good guy and easy to work with.
  13. Hi Harry,

     

    Any door brake sets in stock currently?

     

    Thanks,

  14. My '73 has it next to the air cleaner so it must have been when they made the big 73-74 changes. The closest Exide dealer I've found is an hour north of me, which I can do, but if anyone knows another option or a mail order possibility I'm all ears.
  15. I've searched the archives and wasn't able to turn up a source for the group 26r battery with the hold down tabs on the end. It's no problem for me to find a 26r battery locally but none have the tabs in the right spot. I can order a Bosch but heard rumors those are not correct anymore either? Any advice much appreciated.
  16. I had a set of these on a Datsun Roadster years ago. Not sure if they're the same but you could look into it.
  17. Is that the correct battery hold down for a tii? Not sure if they're different than a regular 02.
  18. Where do you find all these great vintage lights? Did you get a shipping container full or something! Great job offering them to the 2002 community.
  19. How long have these rotors been unavailable for? I tried to get a set last summer when I replaced my front calipers (obviously with no luck). Has it really been years? I might want to pick up a set just to have on the shelf...
  20. Good write-up and timely. I was just talking about getting a new set of door seals and I'm a little hesitant to drop more than $500 on BMW seals. I'll give the UROs a shot and hopefully get a set of the new soft type.
  21. It's available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/3M-08892-Rust-Fighter-I-Aerosol/dp/B000PJAWN6/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497114511&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=3m+rustfighter The repairs look good but I'm a little surprised the shop didn't grind down their welds. I always do that step, it doesn't take very long if you're careful not to lay down too much wire and after paint you can't tell there was ever a repair done. Either way nice job getting it taken care of - must feel good!
  22. Thanks Toby, I'm going to give this a shot in the Model A. Certainly a lot to think about here guys. thanks for all the great info.
  23. Yea I figured it was no big deal. I started worrying after I discussed this issue with my father-in-law who owns a 1930 Ford Model A. Most of the Model A guys will run straight distilled water in the summer with a bottle of Redline Water Wetter to prevent corrosion. Thanks for the advice, it saved me $40 of new coolant!
