I have a very good rust free Sahara Original tii nose that I would honestly rate at 90 pct which includes the original snorkle. It was stripped and being renewed but since it wasn't 100% I bought a new nose and did a recreated snorkle (which can't be told from the original) I am in zip 10509 and my email is n y c h a r t (at) h o t m a i l (dot) c o m if you want pix I can send today. I want to sell that and a hell of a lot of other stuff frm my warehouse.

Marked 458352/4 The garage is done, the reconstruction of the tii resumes A reminder, I still have a huge amount of parts which I need to get rid of. I need to make a web site somewhere I can post the inventory but contact me if you need anything and I will go and look what I have.

Nice! If it runs like a charm, why rebuild the Kugelfischer? There are people here who can tell you better than me what minor upkeep or maintenance you could do. The best thing is to run these cars and that seems to be what you are doing. For the paint, I like to use 3M products, start with the lightest polish I prefer their glaze compound. It splatters when you use a wheel and is hell to get off the rubber when it dies so do a little bit at a time and then follow up with a sealer and wax. You will be amazed at the results.

Ahem. Next to my umpty ump 2002's my three Peuegot wagons have all given dependable service. 1968 404 Wagon: Plain white and built the same as their pickup from the firewall back, solid rear with a cardan rod and driveshaft in a torque tube. Had a sweet '4 on the tree' you could shift with the flick of 2 fingers. Tough little sucker Palm Beach Edition (zero heat in NYC!) Very comfortable seats. Like the 2002 was so plain it just grew on me. Nice electric fan clutch came in handy when it was buried into the radiator when the car became a French cruller crushed between a fat Buick deuce and a quarter in front and a goombah driving a '73 plastic nose Grand Am at exit 6 on the Belt Parkway. I drove the poor thing home over the Verrazzano after filling up a spare coolant bottle at Coney Island Hospital 1982 505 Diesel in Gold Metallic. Yes I know I shouldn't have but homely as the sedan was (weird truncated ass end) the wagon was like a huge beast, same construction as the 405. Stickh shift came off in wife's hand one day driving to work on LI. It was my 1st diesel and a hell of a lot cleaner running than the godawful 145 diesels (ever get behind one?) Sold to some Nigerians or something and spent the next couple of years in Toyota Corolla SR-5 boredome (plus a couple of Land Rovers because I had to) 1987 Peugeot Turbo. Ahhh, sweet memories! Driven straight out of the showroom in Port Chester and out onto 287. Drove ten miles, came back and spent the next 278,000 miles in Paul Braq's lgorgeous cockpit, listening to the Alpine and mashing the fun pedal every chance I got blowing away anything that got near me with a roundel on it. Zut Alors! Something like 145hp, but oh baby did it look good doing it! The French, being French retreated before the Bavarian onslaught and left us high and dry for parts so it was sold, still running smoothly when the only parts I couldn't get (wastegate & LS) became iffy. With no rust whatsoever, paint intact, and the engine never having been opened thanks to Mobil 1. By comparison the '94 530 touring that replaced it needed a new engine and tranny at 99,xxx miles just before the Certified warranty gave out, big-ass V8 and whatnot. Drove it another 20k miles and wholesaled it to the Honda dealer for an Accord and I ain't never buying another new one neither. If you've read this far - here's my suggestion: 198x MB 300 TD - find one with the self-leveling rear, crude but effective and classy as hell. Had one of those along the way as well and loved that huge mechanical sliding sunroof, easy to stand up in when reviewing the brigade and fun to slam shut when you released the lock and slammed on the brakes.

I know many of you have been clamoring for pictures and an update. ;? Well here it is at last. What you see here is the shell being coated in Polaris Neu metallic mixed with truck bedliner. This is over a shoot of epoxy flat black primer as an undercoat and other "Shutz" areas with this stuff. Then the Polaris will overcoat it.

Ah "fixies" = single speed bike. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought this meant beater or some such thing. For the OP: Here's a nice picture of a my '72 tii in total (think what that means for a moment) restoration Meditate on it, feel the vibes, chill....think of the love going into the car. It will have some amazing serene karma (and all 135 bhp too!).

I also have several 4 and 5-speeds and several diffs in addition to the tii airbox (see the reply to your question in parts for sale). This will give you some idea of how much stuff I have (to get rid of)!!!
