How's she doing?

I miss her often!

 

sorry about the beauty mark...

Fixed all the leaks and got it mechanically sorted.  Still haven’t touched the body or interior, life has gotten in the way as usual.  I do often toss around the idea of getting one that’s already perfect.  You will certainly be first to know, Geoff!  Hope all is well!

Too bad the paint is broken, but one of those "paintless dent removal" folks can get the dent out so that you won't be able to find it.  Then you can try touching up the spot with extra paint and if the paint doesn't look good, have it touched up professionally.  A good "spot in" person can make it undetectable.  Lucky for you Nevada doesn't fade very much. 

 

My E30 went through a Kansas hailstorm that broke the windshield and made the car look like a golf ball.  Our local dent removal guy got all the dents out (some 5-6" in diameter) so that you can't find 'em--and didn't crack the 27 year old paint...and it's fun to watch!

I do feel lucky having Nevada!  The hood is a wreck, I have paint peeling on the roof, and need to replace the floor pan behind the drivers seat, so this just adds one more small detail to tend to.  Purred like a kitten once started, though!  Confident I could make it to the Vintage, but the kids don’t allow the time. 

Decided to get the car out for the first time this season and I managed to drop my motorcycle on a spot that’s probably much more difficult to repair than a door or front fender.  Fortunately, this old girl needs lots of love from a body shop anyway.  I’m still slightly devastated since I’ve never made a mistake like this before.  
 

DM sent.  Thanks!

Just ordered!   I have a restored set of Borrani's on my Moto Guzzi, so this shirt is perfect.  

PM sent.  Thanks!

Looking for early small bumper over riders 

I can pickup tomorrow or Saturday if still available. 

I’ll take it!

Thanks for the great description and info, Jim! Congrats on the new E30 as well!  I'm still gonna try to find someone to look over my shoulder as I do it.  If I could convince you, Grice, Marshall, or all of you to stop by we could have a great little get together.  Maybe I could entice people with the world's best crabcakes and some good beers?  ?

Would anyone local be willing to help me install a 123 Bluetooth distributor and new coil?  I can't seem to find my old shop manual and would really like someone more competent than myself to guide me through this.  My 1600-2 needs a few more miles on it before winter and its blocking my M5 from moving, so I'm kinda in a jam here.  Of course, I will provide a great meal and booze.  

Looks nice but color looks more like Manila than Sahara

Is the chrome dash correct? Thought they were only on earlier build dates. Looks like a nice car.

Center caps are totally available but not sure about those emblems

Well, these beauties just arrived! First one has broken clips on the center cap, but I’m sure that will be taken care of. Can’t wait to see these in the car!

I'm interested and located in Alexandria.  I'll PM you when I get home tonight.

I've seen similar postings recently in The Vintage forum on Facebook and thought I would provide another update here.  My first set is on the car and they look great.  While the second set was really delayed, I just received tracking information today with expected delivery mid next week.  Frank takes a while, but his product and prices are worth the wait in my opinion.

You need some more Solex carburetors?  I have some spares.

No thank you, Jim.  I would love to find some 1600ti manifolds, though. ?

Had a new set of wheels put on today!  

I just purchased a set of Solex PHH side drafts from Ebay.  They were listed as a true barn find.  I noticed the stampings on the intake manifold and realized they won't work with my 1600-2, so I'll but them in a box for storage or offer them up here if someone needs them.  I really gotta quit buying stuff after my evening cocktails- I just don't pay enough attention to what I'm buying.  I'm sure I'll find something to use them on someday if nobody wants them.  Not sure what they're worth, but I'm open to offers.  Email my user name at gmail for fastest response.  Thanks!

I believe that would be two manifolds, a front and a rear, each manifold for a single PHH.
 
There are some good threads that show precisely which manifolds are correct for 1600ti’s and 2002ti’s. Genuine OEM 1600ti manifolds are quite rare.
 
Regards,

Wow, great find!  Congrats!  Would love to have that car and color.

Looking to purchase a 1600 Ti intake manifold.  Thanks!

I received my first set and have paid for two sets.  Frank has updated me with pictures of the second set.  The first set looks beautiful, they were packaged with extreme care, and were quickly delivered via FedEx.  I’m beyond happy and have high expectations for the second set which should ship next week. 

Update on my wheels- my payment cleared today via TransferWise and Frank sent me tracking information for the first set. They are scheduled to arrive 6/3. The second set is being finished and shipped this week. Fingers crossed, but it seems to be working out.
