This would yield a very good result. I was looking for a photo of @tomphot’s black GAHH seats in his ‘72 tii. Very, very nice!
 

One caveat. For whatever reason, the GAHH seat covers do not, or did not, come with a new back-of-the-seat pocket. You can either re-use your original back-of-the-seat pocket (on its backrest cover panel) or order some matching smooth vinyl from GAHH, and have your upholster, or enlist yourself to, make a new pocket.

Thanks

Looks like a great show, good amount of BMW's. Like seeing all the 2002's and e24's especially the M6's.

 

Love the Purple Opel GT. All those Porsche 356's look very expensive.

This was the second year for our show, turned out great!  I didn't bring my Tii but one of those 356's was mine.  I tried hard to get my 356 group out to the show, 11 showed up.

We had a great time at the show yesterday.  Thank you to all who came out!  Check out the variety of cars!  A lot of 2002's at the end of this video.

My Kugelfisher and a set of injectors came back from Precision Auto Researh.

Mine was done by them in 1987.

Bid for the chance to own a 1973 BMW 2002tii at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #1,888.

This is the car - bought by a friend mine, then sold to Steve and now owned by Craig.

The Kfish still has the wire fuel hose holder on it!  I need to borrow that so I can fabricate a copy!

Is there a Legends East Coast this year?

it seems like the cart was put before the horse with you filing a UPS claim,...the shipper, as they told you is the insured, not the recipient...i believe that only slowed down the process

 

unfortunately i have been in the same situation where the recipient filed a shipper claim without telling me, i found out when the claim was denied a month + after the incident...if the buyer would have notified me i would have immediately replaced it but because he filed a claim, it wound up in claims with UPS, appeals on those claims, etc...ultimately, i never got the damaged box back and the buyer never got his order

 

suck it up, live with it and wait

Blast from the Past, it's been a while, FAQ.  Sorry for the Hiatus. 

 

#BrunhildetheBMW says hi from her new Platz where some things will be happening soon.

How in the world did the Citroen Visa get up there?

Apparently BMW had the same issue in 1972.  Here is the center fold pic from the brochure. 
 

Fantastic day at Road Atlanta. 
 

I had a similar buzzing noise in my car that only started at higher rpm's, it was really hard to figure out where it was coming from.  I finally realized that the shift knob wasn't screwed all the down.  Buzzing gone.

GAHH apparently does not provide the seat back pocket for the front seats, however, so you need to re-use your originals, or have your upholsterer — or GAHH? — create a new one.

 

Tom did this and his interior is just perfect — if you can’t have a mint original interior! ?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

 

Thanks Steve, I had GAHH send me some extra material that I had the upholstery guy use to make the pockets using the originals as guides.

Hi Tom,

for your rear seats, was that the 35 pleat that Gahh sells? I saw another member post a rear seat and it had the large center section. 

 

thanks

james

My rear seats have 35 pleats, GAHH does a very nice job. 
 

BTW, when you buy new screws from W&N etc, they will be yellow.  In addition, the repair manual shows 2 different screws being used in the same spot, Hex vs Phillips

I installed one of these.

What do you think a Tii engine is worth?  I'm thinking about selling the one I just took out of my car after rebuilding the original one.  I'm using the Kfish and some other Tii parts on the new engine.  It only has 18,000 miles on it and was built by BMW as a replacement engine in '87.

2022 autocross season!

Got in 12 runs at the test and tune day. Ran roughly 16th fastest time out of 56 drivers and consistently raw-timed my buddy in his S54-swapped e30. ?

So yeah, I feel like the King of the Ring today. lol

 

PICS!!

Wishing you good health, pay attention to all advice with regard to dealing with the clots!!

I have a friend who races very expensive vintage cars.  He had another friend who wanted to go to dinner to discuss getting into the game.  At dinner, Jerry asked him if he had $100 bill on him, he handed it over and Jerry put it into the candle at the table and let it burn.  Jerry told him it that bothers you, don’t get into racing.  
Pretty much sums up old cars.

Yes, had everything vapor honed at a local shop that does vintage motorcycles.  Turned out great!
