What are they worth?

I think I just have a smaller Jack…

All great points above, for working long periods on the car i place the front Jack stands on the bolts that hold on the front control arms… Same bolts as it shows using the lifting beam on.

  Not a fan a placing the rubber on the jackstands on those two beams like that…Those need to be cradled if you use those, where it can’t be pushed sideways off.

On the rear, I usually put the jack a little forward of where you show your yellow square…where it’s on the crossbeam going from side-by-side…

  onward thur the fog…Barney 

   Did a little work yesterday to make the assembly of the Baur this summer a lot better… installed the mini split AC /heat unit in my shop…

    Took the Turkish princess out to a euro car meet up at a local top notch hamburger joint…

They look comfy Barney, did you use the OEM style pads or did you use modern foam, just wondering how nice they are to sit in?

The car had been off the road for over 25 years so the seats were in good shape for their age, we added a layer of 1/2 foam to all sides to fluff / fill them

up…

cleaned up the transmission today, starting to get it ready.

It’s 50-50 I don’t know which is worse the rust or that dent…

Well, some movement forward today on the project I picked at my reupholstered seats for the Baur…   checked/ stopped by the painter he’s making progress but it’s a slow road for sure, I’m getting closer to the front of the line all the time.

Use a smaller nut like the ones on the intake, or cut a short piece of pipe that will sleeve over the stud and put the nut on behind that…

today i Picked up my parts from the fellow in San Antonio, who did some Dry Ice Blasting as well as vapor honing on my TII engine and intake.

Also had him dry ice clean two pair of TII brake caliber that I painted today.

Goal is fixing it up mechanicly first than get the body work done eventually. First floor and nose. Of course some areas needs attention immediatly in this car.  Restored ones are 45k-55k usd over here. I would want a drievers condition 2002 for myself but also value of the car is important.

 

It is a rare car over here does not come up for sale everyday this could be a oppotunity or may be not. To be honost I am looking at it as an asset too even if I may not be able to fix body work right away, because of hiper inflation in the coutry I keep the car as some kind of an asset.

For the conditions you describe in turkey if gotten at a fair price in your market/country it’s a perfect car that’s easy to maintain and will probably hold its value as a basic car.

too many of the above answers reflect your being in the United States… The Turkish people are known for their metal work so rust repair would seem to be very straight forward there…

back from Mid American 02 fest and after moving the cars around…
I Noticed a new oil pattern under the automatic slightly different from the normal oil pattern… Looks like like my oil sender gave up. I’m gonna clean it up and see what the deal is.

    I think it will end up being stronger to just do a patch and leave it as much of the existing metal as possible, The bend at the transition from the tunnel to the floor pan, adds a lot of strength and having as much metal as possible on both sides of that bend/ corner will help.

Wednesday is pictures and a car show…plus a Steve and Sean siting.

Great day, a 50 2002 caravan to lunch a 40 mile trip thur the twisties from Eureka Springs, Arkansas to Rogers, Arkansas for lunch… and then a wonderful dinner at the host hotel.

More fun…

The party is getting started…

I had to butcher the dash up, but I put in one that blows twice as much CFM‘s and actually cools the car…

Sorry Ed, it looks like the truck is full full of suitcases and chairs to me…

Heading there today spending the night in Arkadelphia…

   I have purchased at least three 2002s for less than I paid for this paint, primer and Hardner… the painter hadn’t started on my car yet but I’m next..

Took the last week are so off from working on the Baur, been getting our other cars ready to drive…

  put the four half shafts ends  back together yesterday…first one took over an hour to get all six ball bearings captured… the second and third ones no more than 5 to 10 minutes and number four was another 45 minutes… it’s right up there with the heater box as far as being a pain in the ass.

Spring cleaning completed, four 2002s clean and ready for driving. Turkis automatic has not been getting much attention  lately…tely …

 Damn, cleaning up two cars to attend MidAmerica. Has started spring cleaning over here this morning I pulled the Inka tii into the shop and spent the better part of 4 hours cleaning it up.

 spent the afternoon getting our 72 ceylon gold 2002 tii ready to attend the MidAmerican 2002 fest in Eureka Springs, Arkansas last weekend of the month… Hope to see you there.
