  1. Thanks All, The 72 has been sold and is at it's new home My best G
  2. Autostrada, Good Sir this is where I end our conversation. Wish you the best with your endeavors. You are looking for a debate for which there is no conclusion. I will not follow you down the rabbit hole any further. I perfer looking forward and toward the light not into the darkness. Have already been there and found no good in it for me. Thank you for the conversation. My best to you. Girt
  3. My Man, I'm no therapist just a hard working guy enjoying a hobby. Since I sold my car, I'm trying to give other guy's cars parts some of them may need instead of leaving them sit or even worse get thrown away. Sounds like your wrapping all this up with whats going on in your life. Take a breath. Decide if these things you have accumulated bring you joy or not. Make your decisions from there. It sounds like its a real shame to lose you in the community here. Your knowledge and skills should be afforded to the younger people you distrust so much. Guide them and be an example. These machines we tend too exist with no malice. They just need cared for, maintained and driven. Joy comes in the fact that we care for them. Prices are prices. If I had a buddy that needed these things they would get handed to him but I don't. Their tastes and cars run in other directions. I can no longer afford vehicles I used to own but I don't blame it on others, its a market. What I do is move on and try not to accumulate stuff I don't need. Because in the end it doesn't matter. Holding on to these things doesn't make me richer nor does the few bucks that changes hands. Enjoy your present, go give that Zagato a little time it deserves. Get it running and drive it. Enjoy it for what it is, not what others think its worth. Hopefully, it will bring the smile back that you had when you saved it from its orginal fate. My best Sir.

  6. Autostrada, I hear your dismay in losing the past. But, when was your last visit to that wrecking yard and how often do we see these cars there now. Yes, we all miss simpler times when things were inexpensive and people were easy-going. The nature of enjoying vintage cars is that they are slowly getting rarer and and parts if not reproduced are harder to find. But you don't blame time in your statement, you waggle your finger at the new comers and new owners. Sorry, Sir you are wrong, they are the same people. They enjoy a hobbie, they enjoy the same machine you do, as you do, just in a different time. They are friendly, willing to lend a hand and luv to talk about their cars. What is different? Times change good man. Sorry for your loss.
  7. It is a shame because the Petrolicious quarterlies were really well done. The Founder's views came out later and with those I cannot agree. The new owner's have never reached out to us. So time to move on.
  8. Bob, thanks. No its just removing perfectly good water from the cooling system has driven the price out of my range. Sadly will never get to own a 72 again without knocking over a boatload of convience stores. Plus just sold my 72 2002 and moving on to the next bucket list car. Just cleaning up around the shop... Giving up the Petrolicious items because I feel they blew a good thing by their poor actions and then left the founding members (such as myself) out when they were forced to sell the company. - Clarified by edit. Girt Cheers

  11. Dennis, wish I hadn't boxed those before your question but repair manual is the one I referenced all the time for how to do things. Motor build etc. If I remember right the other was more of a parts guide. Somone out here may correct me but that one just sat on the shelf. Thx Girt

  15. Relisting airbox. 250$ plus shipping. Sold my 72 and never quite got it to fit. Time to pass it on. Girt girt1@verizon.net
  16. Call Korman Bmw in NC. Had all kind of problems with IE header and exhaust. Tore it out and trashed it. Korman Stahl headers are excellent and they source German exhaust systems from Wallothnesch. They will ask you about your build and car to give you the right diameter. Fit and finish was excellent. I downsized from 2 to 1 7/8 dia and it really woke the car up. My best
  17. Thanks, it my old 1864 Pennsylvania Bank Barn. Just a home shop, thanks for the compliments it is a cool place just to hang out.
  18. Georges, thank you and agree with your statements about BAT, in fact laughing to myself while reading it. Appreciate you replying back. Jp5, I had been following those, in fact that market place has more than once left me confused. Just don't think I'm going that route. Will try to come up with a good price for me and buyer, list on forums, cca and maybe ebay just for the views. Thx
